Drug treatment expenditure: a methodological overview
19 de Outubro de 2017
It is estimated that around 1.2 million people receive treatment for drug-related problems
in the European Union (EU) per year. This is a result of the expansion in the provision of
drug abuse treatment across Europe since the mid-1990s, which has helped to increase
the availability of and access to treatment. While treatment systems are under increasing
pressure to respond in a timely, effective and flexible manner to clients’ needs, the change
in the drugs used, the higher prevalence of polydrug use and the provision of ongoing care
for chronic cases have increased pressure on health providers. However, simultaneously,
budgets have tended to shrink in many European countries as a consequence of austerity
measures implemented in the health sector following the 2008 recession. In this economic
climate, more than ever, policymakers and service planners require data and information
on the capacity, performance and costs of national treatment systems in order to support
investment decisions and to make sound policy choices.
