Healthcare professionals can use these statistics to understand:

  • the availability and effectiveness of alcohol and drug treatment services for children and young people (aged 17 and under) in England
  • trends in alcohol and drug use among children and young people receiving treatment
  • the profile of children and young people accessing alcohol and drug treatment services

The report and accompanying tables contain treatment data from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024.

Children and young people’s treatment centres from across England submitted the data to the National Drug Treatment Monitoring System (NDTMS). These services are part of a wider network of prevention services that support young people with a range of issues and help them to build resilience.
