Below is a draft for a new entry on the National Treatment Agency for Substance Misuse. This is a work in progress – please do not edit this article until it is a live page.
The National Treatment Agency for Substance Misuse (NTA) is a special health authority of the National Health Service. It was set up in 2001 to improve the availability, capacity and effectiveness of treatment for drug misuse. The agency's remit is England-wide and it oversees adult drug treatment, and drug and alcohol treatment for children and young people.
The NTA is not a treatment provider, but works to improve the commissioning of services, promote evidence-based practice in drug treatment and improve the skills of the drug treatment workforce.
The agency's headquarters are in Lambeth, south London; in addition, there are nine regional offices covering the whole of England.
