Drug addict gets rehab help after Sky News report

A drug addict who featured in a Sky News report about those unable to secure a place in rehab due to council cuts is now being helped by a charity.

Sky revealed last week that councils are in real terms spending half of what they did on addiction treatment services 10 years ago - and the number of drug-related deaths has doubled.

Craig spent a decade trying to get help - he's now been offered a place in rehab thanks to the charity ADAPT in Oxford.
