Approval to Award a Contract for the ' East Lancashire Recovery Orientated Adult Substance Misuse Treatment Service'

Drug and alcohol misuse are key determinants of health inequalities and levels of crime. The Government estimates that the social and economic cost of Class A drugs is £15 billion and of alcohol misuse, £20 billion per annum. Reducing levels of drug and alcohol misuse will improve health outcomes and reduce offending behavior; one of the key components of the response to the problem being the commissioning of effective treatment services.
