4. What the Guidelines say  Few service users who enter drug treatment intend to be in specialist drug treatment indefinitely. For those who wish to be drug-free, commissioners and providers need to create better pathways and exits from specialist drug treatment. These pathways should include drug-related support (e.g. relapse prevention, mutual support groups, advice and harm reduction) and non-drug-related support (e.g. access to housing, supported accommodation, relationship support, education and training, support to gain employment, and parenting and childcare responsibilities).
