Call for unity in anti-drug fight
The manager of an agency that helps alcoholics and drug addicts wants aid groups to work together more closely.

Ian Rodger of the Jersey Addiction Group says the number of people with drug and alcohol problems is rising.

An eight-week course costs �600 a week, but he says States funding restrictions mean it does not receive as many clients as it needs.

The group provides residential treatment for people with serious addiction problems.
