Public Health England, in 2020 published statistics on drug and alcohol use in Doncaster. The report focused clients first presenting for treatment between the 1st of April 2019 and the 31st of March 2020 (the financial year)   During this period, 644 new clients sought treatment for drug and/or alcohol misuse. Of concern is that  20% of this number (128) had children living with them.
