Inspiring a joint Jewish and Muslim treatment service

Few cultural clashes receive more press coverage than the Jewish and Muslim conflict. Beyond the headlines, both communities suffer from the same social problems ‐ drink and drug misuse. Though these are not uncommon, especially among young people, both communities suffer from shame and cultural blindness to their problems. In a controversial and bold pilot, an East London treatment service is uniting Jewish and Muslim communities by establishing the UK's first Jewish and Muslim drug and alcohol treatment service. Though still in its infancy, the project is drawing great acclaim, including that of Tony Blair.
