Abstract

How confused are young people about cannabis reclassification? Who do they really trust when talking about drink and drugs? Do they believe the health warnings and ‘the messages’ to stay away from drugs? Michelle Duffin draws on her national discussions with young people to explore their perceptions of drugs and alcohol and to assess their awareness of young people services and preferred methods and sources of information for drugs and alcohol.

Abstract

This article reports findings from qualitative research conducted in a rural county. Crack cocaine is often used in combination with heroin with the latter drug acting as a ‘downer’ after the intense experience of crack. Users see their heroin use as a problem but not their crack use. Services are geared to opiate misuse and there is a need to consider provision for crack misuse.

Abstract

Drawing on research conducted by Perpetuity, a research and consultancy service specialising in crime and community safety, this article provides an overview of the housing needs of drug and alcohol users. The article is based largely on feedback from consultation with service users, and outlines some of the barriers they face when accessing supported housing and mainstream housing; and some of the potential difficulties they can experience when trying to maintain a tenancy. It summarises the importance of partnership working when addressing housing needs among this vulnerable client group. It is essential that these matters are taken seriously and addressed accordingly.
