Abstract
Introduction The level of harms from drugs in Scotland is high in comparison to the rest of the UK and Europe, and causes avoidable damage to people's lives, families and communities. Tackling the high level of drug related deaths in Scotland is a stated priority for the Scottish Government. Public Health Scotland [PHS] have been asked by the Scottish Government to evaluate the Residential Rehabilitation [RR] programme element of its National Mission to reduce drug deaths, covering the period until March 2026. This is the final report of a two-part study and explores (1) ‘demand for’, and (2) ‘perceptions of’ RR amongst people who experience problems with drugs across Scotland. Study aim and objectives The overall study aim was to better understand demand for, and perceptions of, RR services amongst people who experience problems with drugs across Scotland. The research objectives of the study were to explore, amongst people who experience problems with drugs: awareness of RR services; experience of trying to access RR services; perceptions of RR; levels of interest in RR; and interest in RR relative to other treatment options (treatment preferences).
