Thank you very much!
Tony D’Agostino –
Thanks Dominic
Vicky –
Really useful document. There’s such a lack of researched information around PS, so it’s great to have reliable guidance.
Explains the types of PS in a comprehensive yet understandable way.
Also covers aspects such as the process for why use is repeated, good harm reduction advice and risks of using.
The treatment information is great, and the tools are useful for helping clients explore their use in a visual way.
Thank you so much!!
