Bright Spot for Drug Addiction - Technorati Lifestyle: "The Common's Home Affairs Select Committee report on drug policy shows some improvement in the battle against drug addiction.
The report shows that while not all methods of drug prevention have been effective, the evidence based prevention has proved effective.
The most notable positive outcome is the falling number of drug addicts in the last decade. Then number of young people seeking treatment for heroin and crack cocaine are also down. This, combined with a falling number of injection drug users means the UK should also see a decrease in the number of new HIV cases. Just as importantly, more people are seeking help for addiction. The number of people in recovery has significantly increased in recent years."
