Drug Interventions Programme
Roles of Partners
Key partners to the Home Office are the police, prison, probation services and courts, along with the Department of Health, the National Treatment Agency and treatment providers as well as those who offer wraparound services such as housing and job-seeker support.
Delivery at a local level is through Drug Action Teams, using integrated teams (known as Criminal Justice Integrated Teams – CJITs) with a case management approach to offer access to treatment and support. This begins at an offender’s first point of contact with the criminal justice system and continues through the journey that can include custody, court, sentence, treatment and beyond into resettlement.
DIP works closely with the Home Office PPO unit.
