Commissioning treatment for dependence on prescription and over-the-counter medicines: a guide for NHS and local authority commissioners

It has been produced with input from experts on addiction to medicines, and outlines a number of sources that commissioners can use to identify the scale of misuse or dependence, and in relation to what medicines in their area.
