Additional information and context
Background information In cases where an individual has more than one admission into the drug treatment system in a financial year, the most recent episode is counted. Drug users are regarded as in continuous treatment, if they move from one episode of treatment to another but where the time elapsed does not exceed 21 days from discharge at one agency to modality start date at a subsequent agency (inclusive of discharge and modality start date). Or where episodes run concurrently and a modality has commenced in the later episode.
Notes on using Good performance is typified by an increase in the number of drug users recorded as being in effective treatment.
