A tool kit for : building capacity for community-based treatment and continuing care of young drug users in the Greater Mekong Subregion

Abstract

This tool kit was developed in response to requests by people working to build capacity for community-based treatment of young drug users in the Greater Mekong Subregion. It uses relevant examples from the subregion, accessible web-based resources and templates in order to enhance an understanding of the problems many young people face with regard to substance use and related risks. The tool kit aims to provide ‘how to do it’ guides for assessment of individual, group and family counselling interventions that can be applied in community or residential settings.
