This study investigates the pathways between probation services and substance misuse treatment services in Wales.
Main findings
Of all individuals sentenced to community sentence treatment requirements:
- 83% transitioned into treatment services
- around two thirds were either already in treatment when sentenced or engaged within three weeks
- almost half completed treatment or were still in treatment by the study’s end, with success varying by substance type (drug or alcohol)
- older age groups and those with later sentence dates were more likely to transition successfully and complete treatment
