Drug Rehabiliation Requirement (DRR)

A Drug Rehabilitation Requirement (DRR) is a community based penalty for people who have committed high levels of crime to support their drug use. It has replaced a similar penalty called the Drug Treatment and Testing Order (DTTO).The Drug Rehabilitation Requirement Team tests and treats drug use as part of this sentence from the court.

The team provides:

Assessment of drug use, mental and physical health
Medical treatments to reduce drug use
Group support sessions
Counselling
Acupuncture
Meditation and relaxation techniques
Advice on employment and education
Advocacy

The team works closely with the National Probation Service to make sure that the order is enforced.
