Addiction to alcohol and drugs is a major health and social problem in the UK. There has been a steady increase in spending on treatment services for substance misuse problems in the past 10 years, and with this has come a demand for a skilled, professional workforce that has outstripped existing training structures.
Mood altering substances’ have been around virtually since the dawn of time, so some people argue that there is every reason to accept them as part of everyday life. However, for some people, the maladaptive use of such compounds devastates their lives. Initially, a pleasurable diversion, the substance in question may gradually acquire a dominant part in the person’s life, insidiously wreaking havoc on relationships, finances and career, and threatening the very continuation of their lives.
