Is drug treatment better than no treatment?
Philosophy of chronic care versus acute care: continuity of interventions The impact of the intervention can be evaluated only DURING the intervention and NOT after Is drug treatment better than no treatment? Effective treatment typically incorporates many components — pharmacotherapy, behavioural therapy and social support. The scientific evidence is clear that the best available treatments for individuals with drug dependence are those that are ongoing, able to address multiple problems in numerous life domains — such as medical and psychiatric symptoms and social instability — and are well integrated into the community, making them available and accessible to such individuals.

Conclusions Alternative development (AD) is in a constant state of flux; success has often been a result of piloting new and more sophisticated approaches. National strategies vary considerably, but most address food security and quality of life Success is still mainly viewed in the context of reducing illicit cultivation– but impact of programmes is more broadly assessed, in term of MDG indicators Sustainable Development Goals add elements of rule of law, governance and environmental protection to the traditional pillars of socioeconomic development. A new framework for AD? AD approach to be extended beyond illicit drug cultivation into communities affected by other illegal activities (illegal mining, wildlife and forest crimes)?
