Young People
The Young People's Substance Misuse Service (YPSMS) is a community-based countywide service for young people up to the age of 18 years who have problems with drugs and/or alcohol.

The service comprises Specialist Nurses and GINI workers (employed by the Council). The service works closely with the non-statutory agencies within the county and has strong associations with social services and other community-based treatment providers both in Primary and Secondary Care, specifically CYP and Early Intervention. The service is based at:
