Volatile Substance Abuse: Evaluation and Treatment

Department of Community Child Health, Canterbury and Thanet Health Authority, 41 Old Dover Road, Canterbury, Kent CT1 3UJ, UK

1 A scheme for the identification and evaluation of volatile substance abusers is outlined which emphasizes the need for medical history, drug history, emotional/behavioural and dependency questionnaires and physical examination.

2 Poor initial evaluation may lead to non-recognition of dependent abusers who may present later with more serious problems.

3 Suggestions for prevention and treatment of chronic abusers are discussed and some advice for parents is outlined.
