Question

To ask the Scottish Government how many individuals have completed a stay in a stabilisation centre since 2021, and of those individuals, how many subsequently accessed detoxification or residential rehabilitation. 


Answer

Scottish Government does not hold this information. Stabilisation is provided by some standalone services in Scotland, but it is often provided by facilities and services which provide other forms of support. Accessing stabilisation can provide an essential pathway into treatment and recovery and we are exploring how this can be further supported and evaluated.
