The effects and management of crack cocaine dependence.
The past two decades have witnessed a steady increase in the use of crack cocaine in the UK. In response to this trend the government produced Tackling Crack: A National Plan (Home Office, 2002a), which is designed to run parallel with the updated drug strategy (Home Office, 2002b). While all class A drugs have the potential to undermine individual health and the social stability of communities, it is believed crack has a particularly high potential due to its association with violent crime and community disorder (Home Office, 2005).
