SUBSTANCE USE RELATED FAMILY SUPPORT
Family support work linked to problematic substance use became a key
area of work in the drug and alcohol sector in Ireland following the

their family. Informed by this approach to intervening with problem
substance use, the overarching aim will be to increase effectiveness
and efficacy of existing local family support interventions and
increase integration with the universal family supports.
