This is a form of substance abuse that is highly hidden and
kills an average of 44 people per year in the UK.
It is prevalent across all ages, particularly young people as
they can easily access these household substances.
It is practiced by adults across all socio-economic groups,
reaching 57,000 in 2021 and as living costs rise, it is likely
there will be a increase in volatile substance use.
Suitable for all staff as well as Addiction Champions and apprentices
