Service description

Calvary Drug and Alcohol services provides a range of services for people experiencing problems with drug and or alcohol use.

Offering both inpatient and outpatient treatment options for individuals seeking support with alcohol and drug issues in the Murrumbidgee region.

The residential program operates as a modified therapeutic community, offering three phases for completion:
• Phase 1: 6 weeks
• Phase 2: 6 weeks
• Phase 3: 12 weeks
Throughout the program, clients have access to six counselling sessions. An onsite counsellor will assess each client’s individual needs and can refer them to a suitable clinician if necessary. Weekly case management and a schedule of group education sessions from Monday to Friday aim to enhance knowledge about substance use, mental health and wellbeing, self-care, harm minimisation, and relapse prevention. Our onsite General Practitioner is available three days a week to support clients’ medical needs

Eligibility

Eligibility for programs is assessed during the initial intake and assessment phase. All people seeking treatment undertake a comprehensive psychosocial assessment to determine the program that meets the individual’s needs. If the service is unable to meet the client’s needs we will support a referral to the most appropriate service that will. The intake assessment can be done in person or by telephone.

There are fees associated with the inpatient withdrawal and residential program. A base rate of $47.00 a day is incurred, but consideration is required for additional costs including medications and essential needs.
