Matt Curran, Probation Officer with Northumbria Probation Service, identifies the conceptual confusions and definitional conflicts surrounding probation work with drug users. Drawing on his extensive experience in Blyth, Curran seeks models, stories and motives beyond the conventional medical perspective and suggests alternative ways of addressing drug users as people, not as bad patients.
