Health and Social Responses to Drug Problems: A European Guide

Health and social responses to drug problems: a European guide is a new publication from the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA). Included alongside the guide is a set of online materials. Together these provide a reference point for the planning, implementation and delivery of health and social responses to drug problems across Europe. In this way, the resource looks to assist those working to tackle such challenges. It also aims to inform the improvement of old programmes for intervention, as well as the development of new ones.

Health and social responses to drug problems: a European guide advises that the best responses are dependent upon the specificity of the drug problem and the contexts in which they occur. Social acceptability, which of course varies across cultures, is also a factor that determines the appropriateness of implementing certain types of intervention.
