Patrick Plunkett has seen it all. Young people drunk out of their minds, often having taken illegal drugs. Heroin addicts in the grip of overdoses. People from all social classes who have found themselves under his care because they didn't know when to stop.

He has treated people after binges for the past 20 years. But what has changed is that more people are using a wide range of drugs, and "unusually" mixing cocaine with alcohol.
