Drug workers

Drug Workers: What you need to know about: Mental Health, Welfare Rights, Housing, Blood-Borne Viruses, Young People.Children of Drug-Using Parents.

Drugs work is increasingly carried out in a multi-agency environment where workers have to communicate with a range of different professionals including medical staff, social services and housing in order to deliver the best support and care for their clients. It is good practice for drug workers to refer clients into these specialists and not feel they have to know everything themselves. However, they should be familiar with the basics of some of the main issues that face clients over and above drug problems. This is the principle behind this book - both to assist the client and to promote a sense of personal empowerment allowing workers to answer some key questions on the topics covered.
