A reporter from the local press has also been invited by Sandwell DAAT on 5th June to ‘walk-through’ the Drug Interventions Programme (i.e. DIP) and report on her experience. After being ‘drug tested’, ‘assessed’ and ‘referred’ for treatment by arrest referral and court workers, she will be given an overview of the treatment and support services available.
