TREATMENT SERVICES (Tier 3)
Access
to Treatment Services is often through referral from another
service (a GP or an Early Intervention Service) but young people
and parents/carers can contact these services directly to
discuss their situation and seek help and advice.
Treatment Services are young people’s specialist drug services,
and other specialised services, that work with complex cases
requiring multi-disciplinary, team-based work. The aim of Tier 3
services is to deal with the complex and often multiple needs of
children or young people, and not just with the particular
substance problems. Tier 3 services also work towards
reintegrating and including the young person into their family,
community, school or place of work.
Tier 3 services will also provide referral to
specialist medical forms of treatment (Tier 4) where
appropriate.
