We provide a number of programs to help people and their families with alcohol, tobacco and other drug issues.

Our services include:

  • intake and assessment
  • case management and coordination of care
  • withdrawal management (detox services)
  • relapse prevention
  • secondary consultation
  • brief intervention
  • counselling, group work and therapy
  • health promotion, information and community education.

We are located in Launceston, Hobart and Ulverstone with services provided to rural areas.

Service

‘Your say’ advocacy is all about helping you to be heard and understood.

If you are unable to speak for yourself, or find it difficult, an Advocate can help you.

We can provide information about your rights and help you to deal with problems or complaints.

Best of all, everything we do for you is: free, confidential, independent and professional!

What can we help with?

Something you don't understand.

The way you're being treated doesn't feel right.

Not getting what you're asking for.

Who can we help?

We work with older people, people living with disability or mental health issues, and people who use alcohol or drugs.
