Healthcare professionals can use these statistics to understand:
- the availability and effectiveness of alcohol and drug treatment services for young people (under 18 years old) in England
- trends in drug and alcohol use among young people receiving treatment
- the profile of young people accessing alcohol and drug treatment services
The report and accompanying tables contain treatment data from 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019.
Young people’s treatment centres from across England submitted the data to 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.

These statistics were produced in partnership with the National Drug Evidence Centre.
