Services Provided
The Tobacco Alcohol and Other Drugs Clinical Services team (TAODS) provides
confidential treatment and intervention services for individuals and families who
are experiencing problems associated with substance misuse.
TAODS services include:
• information, brief intervention, education, referrals
• assessment
• counselling
• pharmacotherapies
• withdrawal services
• case management
The first point of contact with our service is usually through the triage and brief
interventions process and involves discussion regarding risky behaviour about
alcohol and other drug use and the provision of advice and information.
Service users are then referred to the appropriate stream of our service for
assessment and assigned a case manager to work with.
