20-06-2009 Annual evidence update published in the UK on Drugs misuse treatment in offender populations

In order to help the National Health Service and its partner organisations to reduce the impact of drugs misuse, the National Library for Public Health focused its first Drugs misuse Annual Evidence Update on drugs misuse treatment in offender populations. 

The literature search started from January 2005 through March 2009 in order to identify systematic reviews and meta analyses. Experts in drugs misuse were brought together to provide advice on the included literature. 

The information provided should be useful for clinicians, public health practitioners, commissioners, crime and disorder partnerships, voluntary and community organizations, and the general public.
