The SCAN Network of psychiatrists is making recommendations on "how best to configure inpatient services" in the addictions field. The author asks whether this is possible if they do not fully involve clinicians who are treating similar populations in different settings, for example those in residential rehabilitation or treatment centres. It is argued that much of what is being proposed in the SCAN recommendations for inpatient units is what short-stay residential rehabilitation units have been providing for over 20 years.
