1 Hertfordshire Young People s Substance Misuse Strategic Plan
2 1. Introduction and context Young people misusing substances can cause harm to our communities through crime and antisocial behaviour, and they can also cause harm to their own mental and physical health. By reducing levels of substance misuse, we can reduce these negative impacts, as well as reducing the public funding required to manage them. Substance misuse is linked to many other health inequalities and risk taking behaviours in vulnerable young people. By reducing substance misuse, we will also impact on reducing mental health problems, unsafe sex and teenage pregnancies, general health and wellbeing, educational attendance and achievement. Finally, substance misuse interventions for young people contribute towards outcomes measured within the Public Health framework, and Drug and Alcohol Harm is a priority of Hertfordshire s Health and Wellbeing board. 2. Scope of this Plan This plan links to several other local strategies, importantly the Hertfordshire Children s Services Plan, Youth Justice Plan, Drug Strategy, Alcohol Plan, Tobacco Control Strategy, Public Health Strategy, and Health and Wellbeing Strategy. This is an action focussed plan which aims to: Prevent young people in Hertfordshire from taking drugs, drinking alcohol or smoking. Minimise the potential harm experienced by young people in Hertfordshire who may be taking drugs, drinking alcohol or smoking, as well as the harm they may cause to the wider community. Treat young people in Hertfordshire who have a problem with drugs, alcohol or smoking. The plan is a partnership document, owned by the Young People s Substance Misuse Joint Commissioning Group, who is responsible for setting an annual action plan and monitoring performance against it. The scope of the plan includes drugs, alcohol and smoking and defines young people as those under the age of 25. 2
3 3. Mapping young people s substance misuse in Hertfordshire summary of needs assessment A full needs assessment using data revealed the following key findings: General trends: The number of under-18s in Hertfordshire engaged with the A-DASH (Adolescent Drug and Alcohol Service Hertfordshire) specialist service during was 182. This is a decrease of 5% from (192). This decline in under 18s accessing specialist treatment follows a trend that started in nationally and supports the fall in the number of young people who report using substances currently. Evidence collected from the Health Related Behaviour Survey 2012 supports the treatment data which suggests that drug and alcohol use among young people in Hertfordshire is falling. Young people in Hertfordshire had a rate of 21.2 hospital admissions per 100,000 population due to alcohol and due to drugs compared with regional rates of 30.9 and respectively. The rate of hospital admissions for alcohol has dropped significantly since 2006/07 and is the lowest rate in the region. However, there is still a lack of robust, reliable data collected from Accident and Emergency departments on the number of drug and/or alcohol related admissions for young people. In % of Common Assessments (CAFs) identified substance misuse issues, of which; 83 were for the young persons drug and/or alcohol use and 106 for parental substance use. Treatment population and referrals: 50% of Hertfordshire s population aged 9-17 are male compared with 64% of the young people in treatment with A-DASH. Young people resident in North Herts, Stevenage and East Herts accounted for over half of all clients accessing specialist treatment in Referrals from Broxbourne remain the lowest in the county, which is reflected in the number of those accessing treatment. The main sources of referral to A-DASH in were from Youth Justice and Children and Family services. 3
4 Substances used: As with previous years, the majority of young people are receiving help for problems associated with cannabis and/or alcohol. Together these drugs account for nine out of ten of all cases of young people receiving help during the year. Proportionally, the percentage receiving help for primary cannabis use has gone up in the past year. In , 77% of young people were engaged in treatment for primary cannabis use. For the first time in three years, cocaine was cited as a primary drug. 1 young person presented to treatment services with cocaine as their main drug. Cocaine remains the second most popular secondary/tertiary drug of choice (26%, n=48) after alcohol (35% n=64). This continues to reflect the current national trend of increased recreational cocaine use by young people. The use of New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) among young people in Hertfordshire remains a significant concern with anecdotal evidence suggesting its use is on the increase. The number of under-18s treated for problem drug use associated with the use of heroin and crack remains low. In there was only one young person in treatment for secondary heroin use and two for crack cocaine use. 31% of young people in Hertfordshire say they smoke now or have smoked in the past, and 9% of year 8 and 10 students report having smoked at least one cigarette in the last week (HRBQ, 2012) Treatment process The majority of young people accessing services in received harm-reduction support to address the impact of substance misuse on their physical, sexual and mental health. Psychosocial and Family interventions were also used to address the underlying causes and consequences of their substance misuse. The length of time that young people are in treatment for in Hertfordshire is slightly less than the national position, with the average length of time in services being 18 weeks compared to 22 weeks nationally. The number of planned exits has increased significantly since and is now in line with the national figure; however, the number of unplanned exits has remained at around 1 in 4. Those who left in an unplanned way were more likely to be a poly drug user, have started using substances earlier and be involved in offending. 4
5 Most young people entering specialist substance misuse services in Hertfordshire have not been using alcohol and/or drugs for long. When they do use, some are using heavily and experiencing physical or psychological problems along with behavioural problems associated with increased risk-taking, such as exclusion from school, family breakdown and offending. TOP Outcomes data shows that young people s physical health is not following treatment in line with national levels. In addition, of the 10 young people who stated they were practising unsafe sex at treatment start, 8 (80%) said they were still practising unsafe sex at treatment exit; an additional two young people also said that they were engaging in unsafe sex at treatment exit but were not at the start of their treatment Vulnerable groups In % (n=188) of recorded drug offences in Hertfordshire were attributable to under 18 s. 1 in 5 drug related offences by under 18 s were recorded as occurring in Dacorum. According to NEET (Not (In) Education, Employment or Training) figures collected during % of year olds had a substance misuse issue. In the same period 36% of A-DASH clients aged were not in Education and/or Employment. In , 21% (n=37) of young people in treatment with A-DASH were looked after, however the data shows that referrals directly from CLA teams only accounted for 2 of the young people in treatment during the year. Compared to national figures, in , Hertfordshire had higher proportion of young people with 4 to 7 risk indicators (24% Hertfordshire, 17% national) and lower proportion of young people with 1 to 3 risk indicators (74% Hertfordshire. 4. Strategic Priorities for (in additional to ongoing core work) The following priorities have been agreed for They are in addition to ongoing work to address young people s substance misuse. 1. Targeting treatment and support services: at those who are most vulnerable and/or who are not accessing help. The needs assessment demonstrates that certain groups are more at risk of substance issue problems and may not be accessing services, particularly care leavers and children looked after. Certain localities, 5
6 particularly Broxbourne, also have low referral rates to treatment, suggesting that further exploration as to reasons is required. 2. Cocaine: a focus on reducing the use of cocaine in young people. Local data shows that use of cocaine is increasing, in line with national trends, and is the second most common popular secondary drug of choice. 3. Holistic treatment: ensuring that young people receiving treatment and support from A-DASH, receive holistic assessment and support around their wider health and wellbeing. Local TOP outcomes data shows that young people are not improving their physical health following treatment. 4. Alcohol: a focus on reducing drinking among young people. This will help to deliver the Health and Wellbeing Priority for 'Reducing the harm from alcohol' across all ages. Local data indicates that in 2012 around 16,000 young people aged between 9 and 15 drank alcohol in the last week 5. Age thresholds of treatment services: considering how service provision can support vulnerable young people over the age of 18. Local reports indicate that the management of transition to adult services could be improved. 6. Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS): a focus on reducing use of, and minimising the harm of, NPS (legal highs) which we have evidence are becoming more popular among our young people, with a recent survey of students indicating 50% had either tried or knew someone who had tried these drugs. Local data shows that 50% of university students had tried or knew someone who had tried an NPS. 7. Parental awareness and parental substance misuse: helping parents to understand their role in reducing take-up and minimising the harm of drugs, alcohol and smoking in their children. Helping to reduce the impact of substance misusing parents on children. Local data shows that 72% of primary school pupils said they would like their parents/carers to talk to them about drugs, and in there were 106 CAFs relating to parental substance misuse 8. Emotional wellbeing: a focus on addressing emotional wellbeing in young people and the link to alcohol, drugs and smoking, including dual diagnosis and self harm. 6
7 National data indicates that there is a very strong link between these two areas. For more information regarding the action plan please contact: Ruth Fennemore, Health Inequalities Manager, Services for Young People Tel: ruth.fennemore@hertfordshire.gov.uk 7
