Abstract
For many years discussions about British drugs policies could be summed up by the catchwords ‘treatment’ and ‘rehabilitation’. Policy-makers, doctors, agency workers, researchers and journalists have looked to the drug user as a focus for policy, object of treatment and help, and for explanations about the nature of drug problems. The ‘drugs’ problem was seen as a matter of people and their problems: what could be done, for example, to treat users, reduce harm, or encourage people to stop using drugs. These are, of course, admirable aims, for they deal with the real problems that individuals experience.
