The Substance Misuse Service is a Forth Valley wide service based between Stirling Heath and Care Village and Falkirk Community Hospital with outpatient clinics held in a number of locations across Forth Valley.
The service comprises of treatment services for people experiencing drugs and/or alcohol problems and is supported by a multidisciplinary team with input from a range of medical, nursing, psychological and allied professional staff. The majority of referrals come from GPs although referrals can also be made by other health and care staff and partner organisations such Change Grow Live.
Following a specialist assessment of an individual’s substance misuse problems, staff can offer a range of treatment, support and advice as well as providing information on other services which may be helpful. Alcohol detoxification programmes can be offered as an outpatient or inpatient, depending on a treatment plan which has been mutually agreed by the individual and the service.
