Assessing Local Needs Toolkits

These toolkits support the systematic assessment of local needs related to drug use disorder treatment systems for psychoactive substances. They guide the collection and analysis of population-level data, service capacity, treatment gaps, and contextual factors influencing service delivery.

They align with the handbook’s emphasis on evidence-informed planning, equitable access, and alignment of services with identified needs, supporting the development of coherent, recovery-oriented systems for the treatment of drug use disorders.
