What the petition asks
The Government should provide additional funding for services to support people suffering from addiction. There were 270,705 adults in contact with drug and alcohol services between April 2019 and March 2020. People in treatment for alcohol alone make up 28% of all adults in treatment.
There needs to be more treatment and aftercare to prevent relapses.
