An article from DB Recovery Resources reports that the British Psychological Society (BPS) supports a 10-year plan to expand the drug and alcohol workforce. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to improve the country’s response to substance misuse by increasing the number of trained professionals in this field. The plan aims to enhance the skills and capabilities of the workforce to provide better support and treatment for individuals struggling with addiction.

The BPS emphasises that bolstering the workforce is crucial for addressing the growing challenges related to drug and alcohol misuse. By investing in training and development, the plan seeks to ensure that professionals are well-equipped to deliver effective interventions and support services, ultimately leading to better outcomes for those affected by substance misuse.
