This follows a similar small rise last year. There were increases in the other 2 substance groups (a 4% increase in the non-opiate group and 6% in the non-opiate and alcohol group). The number of those fell by 1% since the previous year (from 75,555 to 74,618) and follows a large year-on-year decline from a peak of 91,651 in 2013 to 2014. People in treatment for alcohol alone make up the next largest group (28%) of all adults in treatment. Section 2.1 has more information about what the different substance groups are. Over half (52%) the adults in treatment were there for problems with opiates, and this remains the largest substance group. The number of people in treatment for opiate use was similar to the previous year (going up slightly from 139,845 to 140,599). The numbers of people entering treatment for the first time now seem to have stabilised after falling steadily since 2013 to 2014.

The number of adults entering treatment in 2019 to 2020 was 132,124, which is also very similar to the previous year’s figure (132,210 in 2018 to 2019). This is similar to the previous year (268,251). There were 270,705 adults in contact with drug and alcohol services between April 2019 and March 2020.
