PARENTS/CARERS - WELCOME

If you are worried that your child, a relative or a family member might be using drugs, it is important to know where to go to for help and sound, non-judgemental advice.

Many of the signs seen in young people such as mood swings, changes in eating and sleeping habits and poor skin can also be part of the growing up process.

Equally, with our busy, often very stressful lifestyles many adults can also suffer from erratic behaviour, moods and changes in physical appearance.

Although it is natural to worry, it is important not to panic if you think someone close to you could be using drugs. We hope that you find the information on this section of the site helpful.

If there are any areas you think that we could improve, or you have any suggestions for information you think should be included, then please get in touch

DAAT has produced a new leaflet called Understanding Drug Services in Worcestershire - a Guide for Families, which gives helpful advice on what to expect from treatment services, and how to get support for yourself as a family member.
