Performance
Our performance and success is measured by a variety of statistics,
many of which are related to the success of treatment.
Some examples are:
- Number of people entering treatment
- Numbers of problem drug users in effective treatment (for at
least 12 weeks and or successfully discharged)
- Numbers successfully discharged
Below is a summary of community treatment services, using
nationally recognised statistics.
