Data from the National Drug Treatment Monitoring System suggests that alcohol was the main problem for 35 per cent of under-18s receiving treatment in 2006/07.

To help inform this work, Alcohol Concern, with support from NCB, is inviting local providers and practitioners to give their views on the capacity of local services to meet the needs of young people with alcohol problems.
