Help and support for young people

Help for young people who use drugs (including alcohol)

The Young People Substance Use Services (YPSUS) is a partnership of Edinburgh agencies working with young people (up to the age of 21) who use drugs (including alcohol)

What we offer

  • Advice and information: accurate and factual information about drugs and alcohol.
  • One to one support: We offer a range of holistic support and will work with young people to explore what will best meet their needs. This includes creating a safe, confidential space for young people to talk to a worker about their concerns, set goals and/ or explore positive coping mechanisms
  • Treatment: In addition to providing support, NHS Lothian’s Adolescence Substance Use Service (ASUS) can facilitate medical treatment for young people when indicated
