ADATS provides an intensive, trauma-informed, personalised service for each individual, and if appropriate, their families and partners. ADATS can also assist people presenting with alcohol and other drug (AoD) issues who are assessed as also having mental health co-morbidities and/or at risk of homelessness.
ADATS can provide prevention and early interventions through community information and education, screening and brief interventions, counselling, case management and relapse prevention support.
ADATS is delivered face-to-face, by telephone, or email offering assertive outreach and counselling, and may be undertaken individually, in family sessions, or client group sessions (SMART Recovery Groups)
