| A powerful short film featuring the testimonies of ex-drug users and drugs workers, highlighting the work of The Drug Action Team (DAT) who are responsible for delivering preventative and treatment interventions for young people and adults, empowering local communities to tackle drug related problems by working with partners, and joining up treatment services to offenders who misuse drugs so as to divert them from criminal behaviour is fully committed to tackling the harm caused by illegal drugs to individuals, their families and many of our communities. . The development of GPs delivering drug treatment in their surgeries (shared care) has been crucial to ensuring access to services for drug users. Treatment also includes services available to vulnerable client groups including sex workers and rough sleepers. Aftercare is a growing component of treatment and includes all those areas that are required for successful integration into the community. These include housing and tenancy support, employment and specialist work programmes, training and education programmes and support groups. The Drug Intervention Programme (DIP) has now been implemented across Birmingham. DIP is a partnership between the police, probation, prisons, health and statutory and voluntary agencies which provides joined up treatment services to offenders who misuse drugs. The aim is to divert them from criminal behaviour and reduce the harm they cause to themselves, their families and the community.
