<p>Drugs can devastate lives, ruin families and damage communities. This Government’s
approach to them remains clear - we must prevent drug use in our communities and support
people through treatment and recovery<strong>. </strong></p><p>Our Drug Strategy,
published in July 2017, sets out a balanced approach which brings together police,
health, community and global partners to tackle the illicit drug trade, protect the
most vulnerable and help those with a drug dependency to recover and turn their lives
around. We will consider the recommendations contained in the report, <em>Desperate
for a Fix: Using shop theft and a Second Chance Programme to get tough on the causes
of prolific drug-addicted offending, </em>as part of our ongoing work programme.</p>
