Pandemic drinking: Alcohol misuse treatment up 10%

Pandemic drinking: Alcohol misuse treatment up 10% The number of adults treated for alcohol misuse in England climbed 10% in the year to March 2022, fuelled by a rise in drinking during lockdown.

New government data shows this rise pushed the number of people receiving treatment for all types of substance misuse to 289,215, a seven-year high.

And experts say there are many more people struggling with drug or alcohol use who are not receiving treatment. BBC News
