Darrin Morrissey is chief executive at the HRB: "Problem drug use continues to seriously impact people throughout Irish society.
"This is evident in the drug treatment data presented today, as well as the HRB's recent drug-related deaths and alcohol treatment reports.
"Over the recent period of economic recovery, drug treatment trends are changing and the data we analyse from the HRB information systems helps to inform health services provision and the health policy responses to problem drug use in Ireland".
