Leeds is set to receive millions to improve drug and alcohol treatment and recovery across the city as services see an increase in demand.
The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities has awarded Leeds City Council £2.8m over the next three years so it can offer improved treatment and intervention for addictions. The grant will be used to invest in Forward Leeds, a drug and alcohol service.
Forward Leeds has experienced a rising need for its services, and the money is hoped to help plug the gap.
