Drug treatment series no. 2
This report presents national, state and territory data on publicly funded alcohol and other drug treatment services; the clients who use these services; the types of drug problems for which treatment is being sought; and the types of treatment provided. The National Minimum Data Set has been implemented to assist in monitoring and evaluating key objectives of the National Drug Strategic Framework and to assist in the planning, management and quality improvement of alcohol and other drug treatment services in Australia. It provides useful information to government health authorities, researches and the broader community.
