About this release
This release presents the findings from the final synthesis report of the PHS evaluation of the Scottish Government Residential Rehabilitation programme.
Scottish Government Residential Rehabilitation programme
The Residential Rehabilitation programme (2021–2026) was launched to help improve access to residential rehab for individuals who use alcohol or drugs.
It is part of the Scottish Government’s National Mission to reduce drug deaths and improve the lives of those impacted by drugs.
PHS evaluation
The primary purpose of the evaluation, and this report, was to explore the impact of the Residential Rehabilitation programme on the way in which residential rehab is organised, how easily it can be accessed and how well it delivers for individuals with substance use issues across Scotland.
