In particular, the switch to a recovery model represented the recognition that the resolution of addiction problems involves not only the drug user, but also their families and communities. It also recognises that recovery is a complex process likely to endure over a number of years after the point of stabilisation or abstinence, and that it is likely to involve fundamental changes in an individual s social functioning and personal wellbeing, as well as in their place in their community and wider society. The aim of this review was to assess the current state of the evidence base that will help underpin the delivery of the Scottish Government s drugs strategy The Road to Recovery. The review examined both the published research base and also the policy context in which the strategy sits, this provides the link between the evidence base on addictions and the wider context of social inclusion, public health and economic development. Rationale and methods: The project team divided the review into two phases an initial documentary phase and a subsequent testing phase. The documentary phase of the project involved the following components: 1. A review of the international literature in relation to what we know about recovery in the addictions field and an evidence-based appraisal of what works in this area. 2. An overview of the international literature on drug treatment effectiveness and of international, UK and Scottish studies that have assessed treatment outcomes. 3. A review of what lessons can be learned from other academic and applied areas particularly the evidence around the mental health recovery movement, given the prominence this has achieved through the work of the Scottish Recovery Network. Other domains assessed in this area included community development, positive psychology, alcohol outcomes and developmental approaches to crime careers. 4. A review of the recently published literature examining three questions: recoveryfocused research; treatment effectiveness; and treatment outcomes. The synthesis of these four strands of work led to the production of an initial report that was shared with the research advisory group and the National Drugs Evidence Group in Scotland. Initial feedback was collated prior to the testing phase of the review, in which key experts were identified and interviewed, (where possible), about: The quality of the evidence base for recovery in Scotland; and more generally, about treatment research; Their views on key omissions in the local and international knowledge base; 712 What they perceived to be the key steps in moving the evidence base forward in Scotland; and Their views on the links between the evidence base and policy in Scotland. The key findings from each of these stages are outlined below. What are the evidence requirements of The Road to Recovery? There is strong and supportive evidence for the transition from models of acute care to recovery based on: 1) international evidence and extrapolations from the mental health field; 2) alcohol research; and 3) from a growing UK research interest in recovery from drug dependence. However, there remain many unanswered questions in a Scottish context relating to long-term changes to sustained recovery, the role of treatment and other forms of community intervention and engagement, and the catalysts and mediators of change. This will include variability in recovery pathways depending on problem severity and personal characteristics, as well as the recovery supports and recovery capital available. There are three areas that require significant research commitment - recovery-specific research; treatment and interventions; and prevention and public policy. The challenge is to build up sufficient human and research resource to allow these three areas to be linked to ensure that the innovations in recovery practice in Scotland are evidenced and brought to bear in ensuring that the recovery goals of the strategy are achieved. What do we know about recovery? There is little UK-based research and the international evidence base on recovery is limited by three factors: 1) Much of the evidence is dated; 2) Much of it is based on alcohol rather than illicit drugs; and 3) Almost all the evidence originates from the United States. Despite this, this review has found that some key conclusions can still be drawn from the existing evidence: Sustained recovery is the norm although the time to recover, and the pathways involved are highly individualistic. For this reason, a narrow, diagnostic definition of recovery is not advisable. The best predictor of the likelihood of sustained recovery is the extent of recovery capital or the personal and psychological resources a person has, the social supports that are available to them and the basic foundations of life quality, i.e. a safe place to live, meaningful activities and a role in their community (however this is defined). Barriers to recovery include psychological problems (mental illnesses and the absence of strengths, such as self-esteem and self-efficacy), significant physical morbidities (including blood borne viruses), social isolation and ongoing chaotic substance use. While structured treatment has a key role to play, it is only part of the support that most people will need. Ongoing support in the community is essential for the ongoing recovery journey and often includes mutual aid and other peer support. Recovery is not just about the individual, but impacts on families and communities. 813 Switching to a recovery model requires a fundamental change in the culture and attitudes of professionals and communities. What is the evidence for treatment? There is a considerable history of cohort studies assessing the short-, medium- and in some cases the long-term outcomes of a range of mechanisms of delivery of drug treatment which consistently show significant improvements across a range of indicators, including health, offending, risk-taking, substance use and social functioning. Differences in effectiveness between modalities of treatment (such as community detoxification, methadone maintenance and residential rehabilitation) have been less consistently reported in the evidence base, although the Scottish outcome study, DORIS undertaken between 2001 and 2004, reported low rates of sustained abstinence from stabilisation-focused community treatment in Scotland. The more recent USA outcome studies have switched focus from overall effects to the mechanisms of change with increased emphasis on the importance of service functioning and delivery, on therapeutic alliances and the process of client engagement and participation in treatment process. Other key findings have been that: There is a consistent evidence base supporting methadone substitution treatment in maintenance settings, based on meta-analytic data, but this requires not only prescribing but adequate psychosocial support and links to wraparound care. Scottish outcome research has shown that while methadone maintenance leads to improved outcomes in a range of domains, it is associated with low rates of sustained abstinence. Continuity of care is a critical component of effective treatment systems, and there is a strong supportive evidence base around linkage to 12-step and other community aftercare supports. There is an ongoing problem with psychosocial interventions while there is a strong evidence base from trials, there is little evidence that these are routinely translated into everyday clinical practice. The issue of technology transfer is part of a recent transition to assessing what allows the evidence base to be applied in real clinical settings with increased focus on the structure of services and their organisational functioning. What can we learn from other disciplines? Scotland has been at the forefront of the mental health recovery movement. The key underlying principles of recovery are: the empowerment of the person in recovery. focusing on the enabling role of the professional. a much greater role for family and community engagement in recovery. These principles have been key drivers for changing the way that professionals engage with their clients and have required major shifts in professional cultures and workforce development. 914 From the evidence reviewed here and within the context of this review, there remain concerns (Care Services Improvement Partnership, Royal College of Psychiatrists and Social Care Institute for Excellence, 2007) about the lack of hard evidence in the mental health recovery movement and mental health recovery remains at an early stage in its knowledge base and practical implementation. Much of the evidence to date in this field has been drawn from personal experiences, and systematic analysis has been more limited. Equally as important as the changing role of professionals and the empowerment of the person in recovery, is the increased role of communities as both a setting for recovery to occur and a foundation for supportive relationships and opportunities for vocational and personal growth, as well as a developmental platform for recovery. Finally, there are lessons to be learned from the criminal justice research field where the assumption is that desistance (or recovery) is the norm and that it is life transitions, rather than interventions, that will be part of a maturationally-based recovery (i.e. individuals will naturally move on from these behaviours without intervention). While all of these approaches necessitate caution, the common themes that they promote are the central role of self-empowerment, the centrality of the community rather than the clinic and the recognition of an ongoing and dynamic process of change. What are the key findings of the literature review and what do these mean for policy? The analysis of published research papers largely supported the findings of the earlier reviews, with the most dominant themes emerging around recovery emphasising: There is clear support for effective engagement in recovery housing and in training and vocational support as parts of a recovery package of care. While there is some support for specific psychological or psychosocial interventions, there is increasing evidence that the context of treatment, in particular, the therapeutic alliance (the working relationship between the client and the worker or programme) and the level of client engagement, is an equally important predictor of treatment outcomes, with worker motivation and efficacy central to this effect. Effective continuity of care is essential with an increasing international evidence base around the benefits of assertive linkage (active attempts by workers to ensure engagement rather than simply passing on contact details or addresses) to aftercare and community support and for the use of recovery management check-ups. There is a strong and consistent evidence base around the benefits of engaging in mutual aid and ongoing support. There is some supportive evidence for recovery in three key population groups adolescents, offenders with drug problems and drug users with co-morbid mental health problems but the evidence is more limited than in each of the other areas reviewed. The key recovery finding from the review emphasises the importance of ongoing support after structured treatment, the positive outcomes associated with mutual aid and peer support in the community and the importance of assertive follow-up support 1015 as aftercare. In Scotland, there is no adequate research or evaluation base on aftercare for drug treatment. What did the key experts conclude? There was an overall consensus that a clear strategy is needed for developing an evidence base that will both support and test key aspects of The Road to Recovery. The summary below does not do justice to the considerable diversity of opinion and expertise that was expressed during these qualitative interviews. Some of the common views were that: There was general agreement that there has not been enough support for drug research in Scotland and that the local evidence base is poor as we are too reliant on international studies. There remain major limitations in what can be done with the local monitoring data, although this is likely to improve and there may be important lessons to be learned from the experiences of the National Treatment Agency (NTA) in England. Nonetheless, there were seen to be examples of innovation and good practice, but these frequently lacked the rigorous evaluation and dissemination to justify replication elsewhere. There were also concerns expressed about the culture of Scottish drug treatment and interventions, and a recognition that the implementation of a recovery model would not be possible without significant work done on workforce development and training. Key areas identified as needing further research were around long-term outcomes, the effectiveness of alternative medications to methadone (buprenorphine and suboxone), the effectiveness of community and residential rehabilitation, and technology transfer work on effective implementation of research. So what are the conclusions? Recovery is a philosophical approach to addressing drug problems based on personal choice, empowerment and strengthening communities, and it also has a growing evidence base, which clearly demonstrates that recovery-focused approaches can augment and enhance treatment interventions, as well as maximising their benefits to families and communities. The review confirms the need for a more strategic, programmatic approach to developing the drugs recovery evidence base in Scotland. To ensure that the implementation of The Road to Recovery is informed by the best possible evidence, the authors suggest the following actions: 1. Introduce a Drug Research Forum under the auspices of the National Drugs Evidence Group. 2. Split the Forum s work into three areas: recovery-specific; treatment and interventions; and prevention and public policy. There are solid foundations for developing a treatment effectiveness programme of work in Scotland that should be linked to, but separate from, the more flexible, exploratory and innovative work around recovery, which in turn will build more on innovative practice and narratives of change. 3. Develop a key focus on the transitions to abstinence and the continuity of care in the course of recovery journeys with a significant focus on community and mutual aid groups. 1116 4. Improve the understanding of treatment delivery and the technology transfer of evidence within a framework of generating an improved evidence-based culture. 5. Improve our understanding of the benefits and costs of long-term prescribing and how to generate recovery communities within maintenance treatment services. 6. Task the forum with research prioritisation and negotiation with key bodies around sustainable funding support for research and broader evaluation and audit work within Scotland and as a player in international recovery and addiction work. 7. Develop appropriate collaborations and funding opportunities outside the addictions silo looking to the key areas of recovery gain to evaluate and fund recovery-oriented activities. What we are lacking in Scotland (as in the rest of the UK) is a clear evidence base about the long-term pathways to recovery and their impact on families and communities. The transition suggested within recovery perspectives to a developmental model necessitates a transition in both research and monitoring to a more longitudinal perspective that maps treatment and recovery journeys to sustained recovery (estimated as 5-7 years after achieving abstinence from ongoing street drug use), and that examines the treatment and support factors that precipitate that change. This also necessitates a switch in focus to a model that is focused less on the individual in isolation and more on the community and the family and so assesses outcomes in this wider context including the quality of life of children and partners and active engagement in local community affairs. What this will provide is a coherent model for testing and evaluating current practice; linking standard data monitoring to the development of a knowledge base; and developing a flexible and innovative research model that tests key aspects of implementation of The Road to Recovery and allows for a consistent mechanism for assessing the micro- and macro-impact of policy implementation in a systematic and evidence-based manner. 1217 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION Research Project Overview 1.1 In May 2009, the Justice Analytical Services Division of the Scottish Government commissioned a review of the drugs evidence base with the aim of establishing what we need to know to implement Scotland s National Drugs Strategy, The Road to Recovery: A New Approach to Tackling Scotland s Drug Problem. The review was commissioned to support the aims of Scotland s National Drugs Evidence Group. 1.2 This report provides the evidence which will help the National Drugs Evidence Group make recommendations to Scottish Ministers about where the drugs evidence base is already robust, the lessons that can be drawn from the evidence base, as well as the further research and information priorities required to inform the delivery of the national drugs strategy. Additionally it helps provide the basis for a more integrated, considered and longer-term approach to commissioning and conducting research and analysis in this field in Scotland. Background 1.3 Scotland's national drugs strategy, The Road to Recovery: A New Approach to Tackling Scotland's Drug Problem, 1 was launched in May The strategy focuses on recovery and reinforces the message that services should support people to move towards a drug-free life as active and contributing members of society. The Road to Recovery also emphasises the importance of evidence-informed drugs policy and practice. In order to deliver real change for people who are affected by drug use, it is essential that drugs policy is informed by what works, how it works and why. 1.4 As such The Road to Recovery committed to establishing the National Drug Evidence Group in order to advise Scottish Ministers on the evidence priorities required to deliver the new drugs strategy. By overseeing the development of an integrated evidence plan the group is contributing to strengthening the knowledge base for the prevention, identification, management and treatment of drug misuse in Scotland. 1.5 The strategy acknowledged that in some areas good evidence is available to guide decisions, but in other areas the research evidence and data could be improved in order to develop further our understanding of the Scottish drug-using population, the factors affecting people s substance misuse, the harms experienced and the most effective interventions in education, prevention and treatment. 1.6 There is no formal mechanism for identifying research and information priorities around drug misuse in Scotland. New drug-related research in Scotland might be commissioned by a number of bodies including the Scottish Government, 1 Scottish Government (2008) The Road to Recovery: A New Approach to Tackling Scotland's Drug Problem, Edinburgh: Scottish Government, (accessed 4 March 2010) 1318 the Chief Scientist Office, the NHS s Information Services Division (ISD) Scotland, NHS Health Scotland and research grant bodies, such as the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, the Economic and Social Research Council, the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and the Robertson Trust. There is a need to explore opportunities for pooling together resources more effectively, assessing capacity in the field and being more strategic in funding research and analysis. 1.7 This review focuses on what the existing drugs evidence base tells us in relation to the priorities of The Road to Recovery. However, the work is also intended to have a wider impact and allow for a more integrated, considered and long-term approach to addressing data requirements and commissioning and conducting research and analysis. In addition, as a key resource setting out existing evidence and future needs, it is intended to facilitate better knowledge exchange with other experts in the substance misuse field and associated areas. 1.8 A number of recent policy and structural developments have occurred that make a comprehensive review of the evidence opportune. These developments have included a number of Scottish Government policies and actions with a direct or indirect relevance to drugs, e.g. The Early Years Framework 2, Changing Scotland s Relationship with Alcohol: A Framework for Action 3 and Towards a Mentally Flourishing Scotland 4. In addition, as prioritised in the final chapter of The Road to Recovery, the environment in which local partnerships tackling alcohol and drugs misuse operate has evolved with an increased emphasis on outcomes-focused planning. A New Framework for Local Partnerships on Alcohol and Drugs 5 was launched in April Aims & Objectives 1.9 The main aim of this review was to show where the evidence base is already strong, what the evidence tells us and what we still need to know in order to implement the drugs strategy Specifically, the objectives of the programme of work were to: Map the evidence requirements of The Road to Recovery. Review the findings of existing evidence, assess the quality and identify key gaps in the literature. Synthesise evidence of effectiveness (including cost-benefit analysis) especially in relation to what works in drugs treatment in Scotland, the UK and further afield. Identify and assess existing datasets with an appraisal of their potential for further analysis and linkage. Frame the gaps in good quality evidence required to implement the Drugs Strategy. Pinpoint potential providers of evidence and funders that might help to fill those gaps. 2 [accessed 4th March 2010] 3 [accessed 4th March 2010] 4 [accessed 23the April 2010] 5 [accessed 4th March 2010] 1419 Report on the review to the National Drugs Evidence Group. Prepare a draft framework on current and future research and information priorities for discussion by the National Drugs Evidence Group and the Scottish Government. Overview of Methods 1.11 The aim of the research was to review the evidence base, building on existing reviews, to assess the quality of the evidence available and to identify the evidence gaps specific to The Road to Recovery. It also looked to generate a logical method of mapping the evidence requirements of The Road to Recovery in research terms, to assess the applicability of evidence to the Scottish context, accounting for other levels of evidence (including unpublished and ongoing work around recovery) and to test this within a framework that utilised existing data sources, data systems and the views of key evidence experts in Scotland While the core of the project involved a literature review combined with a search of local knowledge and evidence, this was embedded within an open and iterative research process that set parameters for the review in terms of the local policy and monitoring framework and that enabled a process of consultation around the preliminary findings and recommendations. The aim was to generate a methodologically robust and replicable systematic search approach, where relevant, and to test this in the context of an expert review process, which was also conducted with research rigour around mapping knowledge and expertise as a developing and evolving process. For this reason, the design involved a number of stages that can be characterised in two broad phases: 1. Review and systematic search of documentary sources. 2. Testing the resulting findings in the local context of Scottish policy and practice. Key Evidentiary Issues 1.13 Throughout The Road to Recovery, reference is made to key evidentiary statements. One of the key aims of this report is to highlight these issues and to provide assessment and comment on the level and strength of evidence underpinning these. This approach has two advantages: first it sets out the scope of the study; and secondly it provides an evidence checklist. A number of these issues are addressed in different chapters within this report and, where this is the case, we have signposted relevant connections. 1520 16 View more
