Details
Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is an intervention that helps people to find and stay in paid employment.
Following a study between 2019 and 2021, IPS for adults in treatment for alcohol and drug dependence was expanded across England. The expansion of IPS will be completed in 2024 to 2025.
This report looks at the first outcomes of the expansion. It summarises the results of a data linkage between alcohol and drug treatment data held by the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities and employment records held by HM Revenue and Customs.
