THE SERVICE
About Sobering Up Service - Port Augusta
An SA Health funded sobering up service run by the Aboriginal Drug and Alcohol Council (SA) Aboriginal Corporation at Port Augusta. Its published purpose is to provide a safe, care-oriented environment in which people found intoxicated in public may sober up, reducing the risk of harm to themselves or others and diverting them from police custody. The service operates seven days a week from 5pm to 9am, is free, and requires no referral. It is targeted at Aboriginal people, and a needle and syringe program also operates from the site. The telephone number published is ADAC's head office rather than a number for the Port Augusta site.

COST
What a stay costs here.
Ask the service for their current figure.
We hold what this service publishes, and we do not put a price at the top of a profile for the public to sort on. The cheapest service on a page is rarely the right one for a particular person, and a quote that comes with the conversation about what is included is worth more than a band. Professional referrers see the figures in their workspace.
