Substances Alcohol is the primary substance of use, accounting for 61% of all young people in treatment during 2009/10. Indications suggest that the frequency of which young people drink alcohol is decreasing, but there is still a need to continue the focus on alcohol and young people. Cannabis is the second largest primary substance, accounting for 36% of young people in treatment. There is concern that cannabis skunk use is becoming an increasing issue. With the sharing of drug taking equipment, there is concern of the risks of hepatitis B. Class A drug use is low. Heroin Use remains at very low levels.
