Drug, Alcohol and Substance Misuse Services
Drugs and alcohol often play a significant role in the lives of young people, whether that be curiosity, experimentation, recreational or problematic use and very infrequently, dependent use. Public Health has a role in ensuring the availability of appropriate services to support the identified needs of the local population.
These services support young people to recover from problematic substance use that is impacting on their day-to-day life and relationships with family. These services can be accessed via self-referral or another referral from any source. Duration of intervention is not time limited and is flexible and responsive to support the individual needs and preferences of the children, young people, and their families.
In Stockton, Change Grow Live offers a range of services for children, young people, and young adults up to the age of 25.
