Scotland has the highest drug and alcohol related death rates in the UK and Europe.
People with substance use issues (PWSUI) often need help outside normal 'office' hours or from a distance from offices, and support is not uniformly available throughout Scotland. The support landscape in Scotland is fragmented, hard to navigate, and varies by locality.
When support isnât readily available (or isnât trusted), people and their families and friends often default to emergency services or remain unsupported. As a result, those who use substances often experience avoidable crisis escalation, or remain in extremely difficult situations, and support services miss opportunities for early, harm-reducing interventions.
The Preventing Harm, Promoting Recovery: Scotlandâs Alcohol & Drugs Strategic Plan 2026 â 2035 specifically addresses the crucial need to tackle early intervention and widen an individualâs âcircle of supportâ. This âcircle of supportâ is at the heart of this Challenge, and a successful solution would enable people to access the right support sooner, regardless of locality. It should harness the power of existing trusted services, family and community to reduce avoidable demand on emergency and NHS services â and if possible, create a âfeedback loopâ of learning, intelligence and insight so that the overall issue can be tackled in a continually improving manner.
