Who we are

From the 1st September 2008, CRI is responsible for delivering Rebound as part of YDSS, to provide a substance misuse service to young people up to the age of 18. CRI will also be responsible for the employment of two named drugs workers, seconded to the YOT.

There is a worker linked to each of the youth hubs to work alongside other professions to provide a holistic service to young people.

Substance taking which harms health or social functioning is described as 'substance misuse'.

Substance misuse may be dependency (physical or psychological) or substance taking that is part of a wider spectrum of problematic or harmful behaviour (HAS, 1996).
