Drug & Substance Misuse
Substance misuse covers the regular use of illegal drugs and the abuse of legal drugs including alcohol and solvents. Included are illegal substances like heroin, cannabis and ecstasy together with prescription drugs like tranquillisers and sleeping pills.
Young people turn to substance misuse for many different and sometimes complex reasons and without full knowledge of these reasons it is unlikely that successful interventions will be made.
The Studio III approach is holistic and person centred, encouraging and exploring with the individual through functional assessment procedures, the true causes of their behaviour and reasons behind it. In this way strategies can be developed to address these issues with the individual in such a way as they fit with their own particular needs and circumstances.
Studio III offer a range of customised services aimed at helping young people with substance misuse problems and those entrusted with their care. These services aim to help break the cycle of drug misuse and help individuals come to terms with their experiences and to positively move forward in their lives to fulfil their future potential.
- Assessments for individuals affected (including psychological, cognitive, psychiatric and vulnerability aspects)
- One to one work and counselling with young people as individuals and within group settings
- Care plans, interventions and therapies together with monitoring and evaluation of effectiveness
- Follow up reports and ongoing assessments
- Liaison with outside agencies and professionals
- Staff support and training to help empower carers to make assessments, enhance their counselling skills, monitor and improve the effectiveness of care plans themselves
- One to one or group work with staff members to assist them in coping with their work pressures
