Substance misuse isn't something you should joke about. It happens when you use alcohol, professionally prescribed medication, and other lawful and illicit substances too much or in an incorrect manner.
Substance misuse varies from addiction. Numerous individuals with substance misuse issues can stop or can change their harmful behaviour. Addiction is an illness. It implies you can't quit utilizing in any event when your condition causes you harm.
The substance misuse team within NHS Forth Valley is an integral part of the wider area approach to the challenges of substance misuse. It is divided into two teams based on the area (Stirling area & Falkirk area). The majority of referrals come from the GP although other sources of referral come from other services.
The service offers, to those referred, a specialist assessment of an individual’s substance misuse problems. From here staff can offer information on appropriate treatment pathways or advice and signpost to other services.
