Tuen Mun Substance Abuse Service started in April 1995 to serve the population of Tuen Mun & Yuen Long districts. It aims to develop a comprehensive service for drug abusers. The service mainly caters for the abusers of cough mixture, sedative-hypnotics, amphetamine, cannabis & organic solvents.
However, there is a great demand from those young heroin abusers in these districts, the service is flexibly open to this group of clients.
Consultation-liaison Service
Consultation will be made to patients who are admitted to Tuen Mun Hospital and are suspected to have substance abuse. Hence, the substance abusers can be identified earlier and motivated to receive further treatment.
Tuen Mun Substance Abuse Clinic (TMSAC)
This clinic operates at Tuen Mun Mental Health Centre in the afternoon on every Monday & Thursday and morning on every Tuseday. The service includes a physical & mental assessment, detoxification service & counselling, treatment of co-existing psychiatric & psychological problems, and referral service to other medical specialties if necessary. The Clinic accepts referrals directly from all social workers and private doctors.
In-Patient Service
There is no specialized ward for in-patient treatment of substance abusers. The team will consider admitting them to Castle Peak Hospital if they have severe psychiatric or physical complications such as drug-induced psychosis or withdrawal convulsion and those fail out-patient treatment repeatedly.
Community Service
The team will provide public education through talks, seminars and media coverage to lay people, teachers, social workers & nurses.
Through simple body check-up, individual medical consultation & educational talk, some of the young substance abusers & their relatives in the community were motivated to receive further treatment and attended our clinic. The Parents were educated on the way to help their children to abstain from substance abuse.
