| Description |
| A national helpline open Monday to Friday 7pm - 10pm and Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10am - 4pm. The majority of their work is with family and friends of substance misusers but should a young person contact them, they will do their best to encourage that person to go and speak with their GP or will refer them on to their local CDT. Staff will also go into community settings to deliver drug awareness training to organisations and parents but at the moment they do not have any youth workers delivering education to young people. Will advise on all issues of substance misuse including advising what it would be like to undertake home detox. |
