NADA member services are diverse in their structure, philosophy, and approach to service delivery. They provide a broad range of alcohol and other drugs services, including health promotion and harm reduction, early intervention, treatment and continuing care programs.
This factsheet [PDF] describes the various treatment options, including community based programs, harm reduction, specialist AOD counselling and psychosocial support, day programs, withdrawal management and residential rehabilitation.
When referring to the NGO AOD sector all treatment modalities need to be known to make appropriate referrals to evidence-based treatment services based on individual preference and need. It is important that referring services discuss with their clients the approach that would suit them best to ensure they are matched with the right service.
