voluntary residential drug treatment and rehabilitation programmes run by non-governmental organisations. There are 40 drug treatment and rehabilitation centres and halfway houses in the territory (20 of them are subvented by Department of Health or Social Welfare Department); | ||||

community-based counselling services, including 11 counselling centres for psychotropic substance abusers and two centres for drug counselling under subvention of Social Welfare Department; | ||||

Following a series of consultation among the stakeholders, the Narcotics Division released in December 2010 the first edition of a tiered, multi-modality approach of treatment and rehabilitation services for drug abusers in Hong Kong as a reference for the service sectors, the service users and the public. This was a first attempt to conceptualise the broad array of services in the landscape in a more systematic manner. The tiered framework embodies a continuum of services from identification, treatment, rehabilitation to reintegration, and highlights the complementary roles of social welfare, healthcare, education, and aftercare services.
