Drug and Alcohol Counselling Services
Providing you with effective services to address mild to moderate substance use
If you are aged 16 years and over, are concerned about your drinking or other drug use, our team of psychologists and mental health clinicians can provide a range of drug and alcohol services to you. The services currently offered by Hunter Primary Care include:
- Counselling and brief interventions with a psychologists or mental health clinician delivered face-to-face, via video-call or over the phone
- Aftercare support focusing in relapse prevention
- Treatment of existing mental health symptoms
- Services suitable for people who would benefit from short term interventions across 6-12 sessions
We work closely with Drug and Alcohol services in the Hunter New England Local Health District to ensure that you have access to the most appropriate level of care at any point in your treatment journey.
Unfortunately, our program is not appropriate if you:
- Require long-term or ongoing support
- Experience severe dependence or polydrug use requiring medical care
- Are requesting work development, court-ordered or probation and parole treatment reports
