'This update is also set in the context of the NTA’s Treatment Effectiveness strategy, which identifies some of the critical success factors to improving drug treatment…The success factors fall into two main groups: Improving clients’ journeys through treatment, and Improving local drug treatment systems.

The strategy is designed to deliver a more dynamic treatment system by focusing on the service user’s “treatment journey”, together with a focus on individuals’ holistic needs (including housing, education and employment) to maximise the benefits of treatment.'
