Welcome

DSlogoBloglegacy

Until March 2015, when we went into liquidation, DrugScope was the national ‘voice’ for the drug and alcohol sector and the UK’s leading independent centre of expertise on drugs and drug use.

Despite our demise, we decided to develop this DrugScope legacy website to preserve the reports and consultation documents published by DrugScope over its lifetime. In addition, the plan is to try and keep the drug information sections up to date – these were always the most popular areas of the original site We are grateful to SureScreen Diagnostics for supporting the launch of the new site, but we need your help to keep it going. If you are interested in sponsoring or advertising on the site, or if you have any comments, please contact me at harryshapiro67@gmail.com or Jackie on Jackie@dsdaily.org.uk

    Albeit a part of me feels frustrated that we had to say thanks and goodbye to Drugscope I am grateful we have the legacy website to help communities draw from excellent work to draw from so we can contimue to support people who have overcome an unhealthy relationship with substances.
