The GIVIT is an Intensive Outreach Support Service for young people with problematic alcohol or substance use, commissioned by South Lanarkshire ADP. We can offer support at home, in the community, or in other suitable locations requested by young people. Referrals can be made by Practioners, Family, Friends or Self Referrals from Young People themselves.
