Substance Misuse Services: Assessing Gas & Solvent Use
When assessing clients, please include gas and solvent use. Clients often use these substances as a secondary option and may not mention them alongside other drugs.
Please specify the product being misused on the TOPS forms. The NDTMS categories for gases and solvents are: gas (butane/propane), aerosols, nitrous oxide, poppers, petrol, glue, acetone, and other solvents.
Professional resources
- A guide to assessing for solvent and volatile substance abuse is also available here.
- An A4 poster, intended for in-service notice boards, with information about solvent abuse for adult users can be printed off here.
