Rural/Home Based Withdrawal Service
The Rural/Home Based Withdrawal provides confidential support, advice, education and referral to clients and families of people with drug and alcohol problems who want to safely stop or reduce use.
Our specialist nurses work in the community visiting clients in their homes or in hospital.
We work with you to plan withdrawal and recovery. We support you through the withdrawal period and help to organise ongoing support.
