Drug Interventions Programme
A critical part of the Government's strategy
The Drug Interventions Programme (DIP) is a key part of the Government's strategy for tackling drugs and reducing crime. And it's working: drug-related crime has fallen by a fifth since the programme started and record numbers of people are being helped with their drug misuse.
Introduced in 2003, with new elements having been phased in each year since, the programme aims to get adult drug-misusing offenders out of crime and into treatment and other support. Some interventions operate right across England and Wales, while additional "intensive" elements operate in those areas with the highest acquisitive crime.
