Illustration for Substance Addiction (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act 2017

When you look at the Ministry of Health's annual report, you will see certain information about people who were detained under the Substance Addiction Act. You will see how many people were detained. You will also see how long they were detained, which is grouped by the number of weeks they were kept.

The report will tell you how many compulsory treatment orders were made and how many of these orders were extended. You will also find out how many people who were discharged from treatment chose to get help on their own by living in a special residence or by getting outpatient services.

The Ministry of Health must include all this information in their annual report for the year it relates to.
