==Overview==
The Drug Interventions Programme (DIP) is the UK's main Criminal Justice initiative aimed at engaging substance misusing offenders in drug treatment. It does this through a variety of methods, some [[coercive]], such as the Tough Choices programprogramme, and some relying on voluntary engagement. Class A drug-misusing offenders are identified on their journey through the CJS and steered towards treatment and wraparound support. Key points of intervention include following a positive drugs test in police custody, and following release from prison.
 
DIP's key partners include [[police]], the probation service, prisons, courts and other criminal justice agencies, as well as the [[National Treatment Agency for Substance Misuse|National Treatment Agency]] and the [[Department of Health (United Kingdom)|Department of Health]].<ref>{{cite web
