Introduction<br />

The Northern Territory Council of Social Service (NTCOSS) <strong>and</strong> the Northern<br />

Territory <strong>Mental</strong> <strong>Health</strong> Coalition are pleased to provide this <strong>Directory</strong> of <strong>Alcohol</strong><br />

<strong>and</strong> <strong>Other</strong> <strong>Drug</strong> (AOD) <strong>and</strong> <strong>Mental</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>Services</strong> (the <strong>Directory</strong>) for your<br />

information.<br />

The <strong>Directory</strong> is intended to enable users to easily locate <strong>and</strong> connect with AOD <strong>and</strong><br />

mental health services. It focuses on not-for-profit <strong>and</strong> government organisations<br />

providing AOD, mental health treatment <strong>and</strong> community mental health services<br />

within the Northern Territory. It does not include private practitioners or providers<br />

of these services.<br />

To cater for services working across borders, the <strong>Directory</strong> includes website links<br />

to relevant peak organisations in other states.<br />

There is also a section including links to useful websites that provide information<br />

about AOD <strong>and</strong> mental health issues.<br />

We know that people who use AOD <strong>and</strong> mental health services often have a<br />

range of related <strong>and</strong> complex needs for which they may require support from<br />

other types of services. In this <strong>Directory</strong>, we have not tried to achieve exhaustive<br />

coverage of all of those related services. Rather, we have tried to focus on<br />

organisations providing direct care or support for people with AOD <strong>and</strong> mental<br />

health issues. There are other existing directories that can be utilised to provide<br />

links to a broader range of services (e.g. domestic violence, housing) beyond the<br />

scope of this <strong>Directory</strong>.<br />
