Health - Substance Misuse
It’s your life and you can decide what you will and won’t do. But before you make those decisions, you need to be armed with the facts.
If you use illegal drugs like ecstasy or heroin, if you misuse legal drugs like tobacco and alcohol, if you experiment with solvents, then you are risking your health, risking your life, risking a criminal record and risking your chance of achieving the life that you would want for yourself.
Those are the facts. What you decide to do is up to you, but make sure you are fully informed before you make that decision.
These contacts will give you information and lead you to any support that you may need.
