Substance Misuse

Substance misuse services include the provision of support in reducing or stopping dependence on drugs and/or alcohol, advice & assessment with benefits and dealing with general health & accommodation queries. Social Workers working within this field are generally required to have had previous experience with drug and/or alcohol users, due to the specialist nature of this client group.

The Drugs Intervention Programme (DIP) places renewed emphasis on the need to break the cycle of crime and drugs by providing opportunites for drug misusing offenders to access programmes of help at all points of contact within the Criminal Justice System.

The Criminal Justice Intervention Team (CJIT) can help break the cycle of drug use and offending. It does so by providing a comprehensive, holistic service to substance- misusing clients who are involved with the Criminal Justice System.

If you are GSCC registered or have experience of working with substance misuse we would love to hear from you!
