Self referrals are preferred although another person may make a referral with the persons consent and knowledge.
Service criteria/eligibility is adults, 20 years and older, however treatment will be provided to younger people in some circumstances due to service gaps. This is particularly relevant for rural areas. Clients younger than 20 years of age may be seen if no other provider exists in the area.
Our entry criteria requires that the individual will have issues associated with substance dependence. In rural areas significant others who identify as being affected by another’s alcohol and drug use maybe seen by the service.
