Assessment
After individuals have contacted YAAS they will be invited for an assessment appointment.  During this session we will establish what has brought you to make contact with the service and talk about what happens next.

Alcohol Support
The core element of this service offers individuals structured motivational support which focuses on their relationship with alcohol.  During sessions we will look at, for example, patterns of use, triggers, practical changes, managing times of craving, dealing with social environments.  Alcohol is often one of many issues facing individuals and it is useful to discuss some of the other difficulties which have an impact on alcohol use.

Rehabilitation in the Community
One of the team at YAAS works specifically with individuals who alongside their problematic alcohol use need support with housing, employment or debts.  If this would be of benefit to you, please enquire when contacting YAAS.

Criminal Justice

Two workers from YAAS are also trained to deliver the Drink Impaired Driving programme run by the probation service.

Group work
