The question
To ask the Scottish Executive how many residential drugs services, including residential crisis and supported accommodation services, existed in 2006 and how many there are now.
The answer
In 2006, the Review of Residential Drug Detoxification and Rehabilitation Services in Scotland found there were 352 beds available for drug treatment in Scotland, situated across 22 services. These did not include residential crisis and supported accommodation services. The full report can be found at http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Resource/Doc/180429/0051272.pdf.
The National Directory of Drug Treatment Services, maintained by the Scottish Drugs Forum, lists 27 residential services with 446 beds. This includes one residential drug crisis centre with 12 beds. No services listed in the directory as residential have identified themselves as supported accommodation services.
The number of beds does not equate to the number of places available which depends on occupancy rates and length of programme.
