It's a simple site to navigate around and points young people and others to a range of support and advice. The Right Treatment for You flow chart is useful, however, the link to Alcohol Health Advice does not appear to be connected. Also placing Cannabis by the word stimulant could be misleading. As you will be aware Cannabis is a depressant drug. As sexual risk taking is linked to excessive alcohol/drug use, it may be good to have links to advice on sexual health. One last comment. I think it would be useful to have links to good information on what were/are known as 'legal highs'. Not trying to be critical. Hope my comments are of some use. And, just to say again, a good site.

For some, addiction is better understood as a disease that can respond to the standard handling of detox, group work and self-help programmes, AA in particular, that center primarily on addictive conduct. For others, addiction is a behaviour motivated by elemental disputes and topics that demand to be handled in a treatment process fashioned for each individual, one that addresses his/her peculiar elementary psychological dynamics.
