Drug Testing and Treatment Order (DTTO)
Drug Testing and Treatment Orders (DTTO) were introduced by the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and rolled out in phases from 1999 onwards. DTTOs are designed to reduce or stop offending by addressing problem drug use through the provision or access to a closely monitored treatment programme.
