Abstract
Treatment of drug addiction was a flagship policy of the Blair Government s crime and disorder agenda. It remains a headline issue. However the outcomes of these measures have not had the miraculous effect on crime reduction that were hoped for. Hence political enthusiasm for the half-billion pound annual investment in drug treatment may be running out. A new Prime Minister and the economic recession mean that the bubble may be about to burst for funding of the UK drug treatment services.
