To ask the Scottish Government, regarding its Stabilisation, detoxification and other crisis support in Scotland: Service mapping and capacity survey 2022–2023, what the annual cost is of operating stabilisation centres, broken down by (a) total programme expenditure to date, (b) annual budgeted running costs per centre and (c) average per bed or per service user costs.
Scottish Government does not directly fund any standalone stabilisation centres and so do not hold this information. Facilities that offer stabilisation and detoxification alongside other residential services will often be commissioned and funded locally by Alcohol and Drug Partnerships using baseline of National Mission funding that we provide annually, however they do not provide the breakdown to Scottish Government for which you have asked.
