Successful completion of drug treatment - non-opiate users (8232) Metric type

Number of users on non-opiates that left drug treatment successfully (free of drug(s) of dependence) who do not then re-present to treatment again within 6 months as a percentage of the total number of non-opiate users in treatment.

The three indicators are based on a single cohort of people in treatment for substance misuse based on a hierarchy which assigns individuals to a category based on the substances they report using problematically when presenting for treatment. This prioritises opiate use (the individual is counted towards PHOF 2.15i), then non-opiate use (the individual is counted towards PHOF 2.15ii) and finally alcohol use alone (the individual is counted towards PHOF 2.15iii).

For the November 2016 upload, two changes were made to this categorisation. Firstly, individuals specifically citing prescribed opiates were moved from the non-opiate to the opiate category. Secondly, individuals citing only nicotine and/or caffeine use alongside alcohol use were moved from the non-opiate to the alcohol category. In total, these changes lead to reduced numbers of individuals being counted towards 2.15ii and increased numbers for 2.15i and 2.15iii. A further slight alteration was made to how individuals in treatment in the reporting period were identified which has led to a small increase in the number of individuals in the whole national cohort.

At a national level, successful completion rates for each of the three indicators remain similar to the figures previously reported, however in some local authorities there may be more significant discrepancies.
