"There is growing anecdotal evidence to support the research suggesting that the prevalence of comorbid mental health and substance use problems are increasing, especially in younger people. The Youth Substance Abuse Service (YSAS) was established in 1997 in response to the need for accessible, effective and engaging alcohol and drug interventions for young people between the ages of 12 and 21 years who are experiencing significant problems with their alcohol and or drug use. YSAS provides a range of youth-specific outreach, treatment, withdrawal, rehabilitation and support programs in a number of locations in Melbourne and regional Victoria."
