The March-April Druglink has a special focus on young people - and how the goal posts are moving. Not only are they taking different drugs in a different way than they were 10 years ago, but treatment services now have to recalibrate themselves to deal with the wider issues which often come attached with young people's drug and alcohol problems. This issue also takes a look at how the internet, specifically drug forums, is taking a greater role in the provision of harm reduction advice; we warm-up for the general election with a piece by Paul Hayes about the political history of treatment and an article on how alcohol is the biggest drug issue for politician's to confront in the run-up to May.
