Notes:

 Percentages are of clients whose source of referral is known (n). 

 (1) Last available data refer to 2005 and to outpatient centres and low-threshold agencies (aggregated data). Data do not cover Brussels Capital Region. 

 (2) All cases are reported as self-referred. 

 (3) Estonia collects data on 11 variables, while EMCDDA collects data on 8 variables. Due to the differences some variables do not match and Estonia categorized their variables. 

 (4) Last data available refer to 2007 and to outpatient and prison treatment centres (aggregated data). 

 (5) Last data available refer to 2006 and to outpatient, inpatient treatment centres, low-threshold agencies, units in prison and dual-diagnosis unit of psychiatric hospital (aggregated data). 

 (6) Data refer to outpatient treatment centres, inpatient treatment centres and low threshold agencies (aggregated data). 

 (7) The category "Other" also includes jobs services and school 

 (8) The Portuguese information system cover more items than the ones presented and therefore those cases were included in the "Other" option. Option "Other" includes 249 persons referred by risk reduction agencies, 87 persons by School Institutions and 105 persons by the Commissions for the Dissuasion of Drug Use and under other 584 persons. 

 (9) The category "Other" also includes prison.
