This Publication summarises information on clients who were receiving treatment for problem alcohol and/or drugs as at 30th April 2019. As with previous censuses, the number of clients in treatment is defined as ‘live cases’ where individuals are being treated on a one-to-one basis.
These figures may include a small element of double-counting as individuals may be receiving treatment in more than one organisation. It represents a snapshot figure and cannot be used to derive treatment over the entire year.
