Description

What we do

A coordination and resource centre for alcohol and drug issues. A key role of this service is to facilitate access to the Canterbury AOD treatment services. The service provides screening and assessment to help link the person win with the appropriate AOD service.
This includes access to Residential services, Day Programmes, Individual Counselling and Group Work. The service has social workers, AOD counsellors, nurses, peer support workers and psychologist on the team.
