Substance abuse prevention
The aim of preventive substance abuse work is to prevent the social, psychological and physical harms associated with the abuse of intoxicating substances (alcohol, drugs and medicines) and to promote the functional capacity and safety of problem users and their loved ones.
Substance abuse prevention workers help people with substance abuse problems and their loved ones in various situations concerning substance, drug, medicine and gambling addictions. The services support, advice and direct the client to various social and healthcare services and outpatient care support measures, which are given based on the need for help, support and care.
You can also come to outpatient treatment services as a preventive measure, when you suspect that your substance use is getting out of control. More information about the outpatient treatment services for substance abuse:
