Space From Drug Use Programme

In 2020 alone, it is estimated that over 3 million , or roughly 1 in 10 people, in the U.K. used a drug.

The Space from Drug Use programme has been designed to help users self-identify an existing or potential drug use concern. Through this programme, users engaging in excessive, risky, or harmful drugs, will be encouraged to become more aware of their relationship with these drugs, learn the benefits of cutting back or quitting, and gain tools to reduce usage.

This programme was designed using Cognitive Behavourial Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) - in a confidential, judgment-free space.

The Drug Use programme is available in English.

Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET)

Motivational Enhancement Therapy focuses on improving an individual’s motivation to change with 6 basic steps called the FRAMES model:

  • Feedback: Deliver feedback on the risks and negative consequences of drug use.
  • Responsibility: Emphasise that the individual is responsible for making his or her own decision about his/her drug use.
  • Advice: Give straightforward advice on modifying drug use.
  • Menu of options: Give menus of options to choose from, fostering the participants involvement in decision-making.
  • Empathy: Be empathic, respectful, and non-judgmental. 
  • Self-efficacy: Express optimism that the individual can modify his or her drug use if they choose. Self-efficacy is one’s ability to produce a desired result or effect.

 

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

With CBT, participants will better understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and learn how to make positive changes - proven to reduce symptoms and better manage their mental health and wellbeing. Participants walk away with the tools to better manage their mental health now and in the future.
