The Home Office is set to appoint a new national recovery champion to support recovering drug addicts to turn their lives around by making sure they have access to adequate housing, employment, and mental health services, under plans announced today to cut illicit drug use and boost the number of people who get clean.
And health services will be expected to carry out additional checks to track the progress of those in recovery at 12 months, as well as after six, to ensure they remain drug-free, as part of the National Drug Treatment Monitoring System (NDTMS).
