The national policy context
• 2010 drug strategy:
• “Substitute prescribing continues to
have a role to play in the treatment of
heroin dependence, both in
stabilising drug use and supporting
detoxification. Medically-assisted
recovery can, and does, happen. ...
• However, for too many people
currently on a substitute prescription,
what should be the first step on the
journey to recovery risks ending
there. This must change.”

William White’s particular contribution
As William White has commented:
“How recovery is defined has consequences, and
denying medically and socially stabilized
methadone patients the status of recovery is a
particularly stigmatizing consequence”.
UK Drug Policy Commission (UKDPC)
Recovery statement
The process of recovery is characterised by
voluntarily sustained control over substance use
which maximises health and well-being and
participation in the rights, roles and responsibilities
of society.
RODT - Where we start from …
• Treatment retention is not recovery
• Abstinence is not recovery
• ‘Medication-assisted recovery’ – different types of
medication (and many more to come)
• The evidence-base of MMT/BMT maintenance; and
the danger of complacency
• Recovery importantly is to do with positives
• Nurture aspirations – empower and enable individuals
RODT Interim Conclusions
• Intolerance of sub-standard interventions (‘the poor
results of treatment are sometimes the results of poor
treatment’)
• Attention to evidence base (and invest in objective
examination)
• Look for synergies across modalities (e.g. CM and
medication adherence; maybe rehabs and maintenance
or relapse stunters)
• Nurture achievable desired aspirations (self; family?;
society?)
• Safety net planning and special services (to support
stumbling; and to respond quickly to tripping up)

Heroin is often silent, and particularly ‘sticky’
OST is important part of high-quality treatment
system that substantially improves health and
wellbeing
For the right patient at the right time, OST can
be heath-conferring, recovery-enabling and
life-saving
Bad OST or wrongly-applied OST can do
harm
Leaving treatment might be important but
treatment termination isn’t recovery
Degrees of recovery – realistic aspirations
Some people recover fast, some slow – but all
need recovery support
Done right, OST is effective but it should be
viewed as a platform for recovery
Don’t end it too early: premature OST
termination is hazardous
OST termination carries risks: clinicians and
agencies have responsibilities – increased
case monitoring, extra support, ‘safety net’
planning and resources
Conclusion: challenges and concerns
• Institutional inertia, therapeutic complacency and
the distracting effect of the pursuit of cheapness
• Nurture aspiration in time of austerity – challenge
for individuals in treatment/rehab; and challenge for
practitioners and agencies
• Be prepared – alert to realities of individual
situation and hazards of different pathways
• The crucial importance of ‘safety net’ planning to
stabilise ‘stumbling’ and capture during ‘fall’
Thank you
• Our report describes
how more can be
achieved: the task is
now to achieve this.
