How does the service work?
First, a trained counsellor conducts an interview with the person to determine how alcohol, drugs or gambling are affecting a number of life areas. Then, together they complete a comprehensive Addiction and Mental Health assessment from which a treatment plan is developed, which may include referrals to Residential Treatment Services and/or other Community Resources.
