"In response to the Drug Strategy consultation, providers and organisations from across the field have been discussing the serious challenges faced by the residential rehabilitation sector. There is a consensus on the seriousness and urgency of these problems and an urgent need to remove the structural obstacles to full integration of these services into the drug treatment system. The following signatories therefore strongly urge the government to take close account of the enclosed recommendations in the framing of the new drugs strategy."
