The misuse of household products such as gases, glues and aerosols (also known as Volatile Substance Abuse, or ‘VSA’) is a serious problem in the UK, but remains one of the least talked about forms of drug use.
Re-Solv is here to help anyone whose life is affected by volatile substance abuse, whether directly or indirectly. You don’t have to tackle this problem alone – we’re here to talk to (01785 810762), email (information@re-solv.org), or help you find a local support service. We also work closely with Solve It who offer an online counselling service through our partnership Community for Recovery project (01536 414691).
We have tried to answer the most frequently asked questions about VSA here. What you do need to know is that volatile substance abuse can and does suddenly and unpredictably kill, and that there is no ‘safe’ way to do it that avoids this risk.
Founded in 1985, Re-Solv is the UK’s leading agency working to end volatile substance abuse and support those whose lives are affected by it.
