Alcohol and other drug treatment services in Australia 2004-05: report on the National Minimum Data Set presents national, state and territory data on publicly funded alcohol and other drug treatment services and their clients, including information about the types of drugs for which treatment is sought and the types of treatment provided. This is the fifth report in the series of annual publications on the Alcohol and Other Drug Treatment Services National Minimum Data Set (AODTS-NMDS). This report, along with others in the Drug Treatment Series, is useful for policy-makers, planners, researchers and the broader community.
The AODTS–NMDS was implemented to help monitor and evaluate key objectives of the National Drug Strategic Framework 1998–99 to 2003–04 and to help plan, manage and improve the quality of alcohol and other drug treatment services (see AIHW: Grant & Petrie 2001 for historical development of the AODTS–NMDS). The AODTS–NMDS will continue to support the National Drug Strategy 2004–09, particularly as trend data are becoming available.
Since 1985, Australia’s drug strategies have been based on the principle of minimising harm caused by licit drugs, illicit drugs and other substances. The principle of harm minimisation incorporates strategies to reduce drug-related harm to individuals and communities as well as supply and demand reduction strategies. No single data collection can provide all of the information relating to national treatment objectives. This report therefore also presents information from a range of other data sources to provide context to the AODTS–NMDS data and present a more complete picture of the current state of alcohol and other drug treatment services in Australia today (see Chapter 7).
The data presented in this report, in conjunction with other information sources, can be used to inform issues of access to treatment services and more generally to inform debate, policy decisions and planning processes that occur within the alcohol and other drug treatment sector.
