Finally, this book provides information on what treatments are available, or may be available in future, For drug addiction.

Risk Reduction Linked to the Use of Substances Other Than by Injection
On request of the Pompidou Group a literature search and review has been conducted on experiences and examples of risk reduction policies in Europe. Data collection and review of the data took place between June and August 2001. The findings of the review are presented in this report. The report is meant as a resource for further critical discussion about the relevance and impact of risk reduction interventions, which will take place at a meeting with members of the Pompidou Group later this year.

Vocational Rehabilitation for Drug Users in Europe
Although vocational rehabilitation of drug users is a comparatively neglected area it is of paramount importance for the social integration and quality of life of (former) drug users. It is also essential if these persons are to reach and maintain a drug-free life style. This international seminar took stock of the current state of vocational rehabilitation in Europe, discussed ways of improving existing services, and made critical presentations on projects which could serve as models. One of the aims is to encourage networks of vocational rehabilitation specialists to be set up.
Towards an Integrated Policy on Psychoactive Substances
This publication builds upon the work of From a policy on illegal drugs to a policy on psychoactive substances (2008), which examined the ways in which drug policy is formulated and applied in a number of European countries, especially in the light of the move from single policies on alcohol, tobacco and drugs to one which incorporates all of these substances. This volume further presents the scientific grounds for choosing between a separate policy for each substance and a single, "integrated" policy incorporating all substances. It also examines how policy is implemented in seven countries selected to cover the entire spectrum, namely those countries with separate policies for each substance and those with an integrated policy. Substance use impinges on the quality of life of individuals and society at large, leading the authors to conclude that new scientific evidence should be given greater consideration. Moreover, it appears that policy co-ordination is a fundamental issue in determining whether policies are integrated or not. The question remains open, however, as to which structures and bodies can better serve single policies or an integrated policy for all substances.
