These services intervene to help young people overcome their substance misuse problems and prevent them from becoming problematic users in adulthood. Figures from the report reveal that: 19,126 young people received help for alcohol or drug problems; 71 per cent had cannabis as their main problem drug; and 79 per cent of young people left services having successfully completed their treatment.

This guidance supports the commissioning and provision of effective care for people with co-occurring mental health and alcohol/drug use conditions. It is aimed at commissioners and providers of mental health and alcohol and drug treatment services. It also has relevance for support services that have contact with people with co-occurring conditions, including people experiencing mental health crisis. The guidance supports the principles of ‘everyone’s job’ and ‘no wrong door’, which emphasise the joint responsibility of alcohol and drug, mental health and other services to work collaboratively to meet the needs of people with co-occurring conditions. It encourages commissioners and service providers to work together to improve access to services which can reduce harm, improve health and enhance recovery, enabling services to respond effectively and flexibly to presenting needs and prevent exclusion. Links to additional resources are included. The guidance supports implementation of the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health and represents an action from the Mental Health Crisis Care Concordat national action plan.
