SNP drugs spokesperson Stewart Stevenson MSP has welcomed the announcement of money for new drugs rehab places across Scotland.
Speaking today Stevenson said:
"We know that the favoured option for drug addicts is to 'get clean'. The focus has for too long been on harm reduction.
"New money for abstinence programs will start to redress an historic mismatch between the Executive's funding for methadone and users wish to stop taking drugs.
"It's time to extend access to abstinence programs to the whole of Scotland. Further delay simply fuels further crime and drug user deaths."
