Drug services in recreational setting: Preventive and harm reduction programs for recreational drug users

Abstract

The dance scene and nightlife is a place where young people have often the first contact with the drug, legal or illegal. This environment is not covered by drug services enough or at all.

The paper provides a summary of possible interventions to prevent and reduce risk and damage, and proposes a theoretical analysis based on the standards of professional competence of those services.
