Further Information:
Midlothian commissions a DTTO service from City of Edinburgh Council. This service is available to Midlothian residents aged 16 plus. There are two types of DTTOs. Normal DTTOs may be used instead of prison for people charged with serious or high levels of offending. DTTO 2 is for individuals who are starting to offend because of their drug use. Currently DTTO are not accepting new referrals and it has been sometime since Midlothian had a client subject to a DTTO. Midlothian as part of the health and social care partnership has No11 Hub which includes our Substance Use Team who can provide support.
