Assessing the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of drug intervention programs: UK case study.
Journal of Addictive Diseases 2017 January
The effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the UK Drug Interventions Program which directs adult drug-misusing offenders out of crime and into treatment programs was established. Quality-adjusted life year estimates from the UK Drug Treatment Outcomes Research Study were collected and a cost-utility assessment of the Drug Interventions Program was conducted. Cost-utility assessment confirmed that the Drug Interventions Program is both effective and cost-effective with an average net cost saving of £668 (£6,207 including one case of homicide). This study provides evidence that drug intervention programs are cost-effective as they reduce crime, improve quality-of-life and reduce subsequent drug use.
