The Substance Use 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 use 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.

Residential Rehabilitation
Residential rehabilitation is a vital and potent component of the drug and alcohol treatment system and should continue to be so – not as a separate treatment setting, or as an alternative to community treatment, but as one potential element of a successful recovery journey.
