The Drug Intervention Programme (DIP) is a crime reduction initiative, which provides a much needed support structure to encourage offenders out of crime and into treatment.

Drug Interventions Programme logo.It aims to break the cycle of drug misuse, offending behaviour and custody by intervening at every stage of the criminal justice system to engage offenders in treatment and provide aftercare support.

The Home Office funds the initiative however the Welsh Assembly Government implements it in Wales. A multi-agency National Implementation Working Group (NIWG) consulted with key stakeholders and decided that to maximise the benefits and cost effectiveness it should be delivered regionally.

To support regional delivery, four Regional Management Boards run the programme in their local areas. They have developed Local Implementation Plans as the starting point from which to commission services delivered by Criminal Justice Intervention Teams (CJITs).
