Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether there are any plans for a research study into the demand for residential rehabilitation amongst those who are alcohol dependent.
Answer
There are currently no plans for a research study into the demand for residential rehabilitation amongst those who are alcohol dependent.
Scottish Government welcomes robust and reliable research, considering how it relates to ongoing policy or can inform new policy. We await the outcome of the current research into the demand for residential rehabilitation amongst those who use drugs being led by Public Health Scotland to assess whether any of its results and/or recommendations are applicable for people who are alcohol dependent.
