TREATMENT SERVICE
THE SERVICE
Alcohol and Other Drugs Services Central Australia is the Northern Territory Government health service providing alcohol, tobacco and other drug treatment and support to adults in Alice Springs and the Barkly. It works from Building 2, Stuart Terrace, The Gap, delivers community education and professional training, operates the Alice Springs Alcohol Assessment Service, and supplies clinicians to a partner low-acuity withdrawal program. Self, medical, court and agency referrals are accepted.
Published as not offered here: residential rehabilitation.
Ask the admissions team how withdrawal would be handled and how a transfer into treatment works.
CARE & DAILY LIFE
Ask about staff qualifications, medication policy, accessibility and any specific support needs before you decide. Almost no service in this directory publishes what it will and will not admit.
COST
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 programme 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.
State funded
AFTER THE STAY
This service has not published what happens after a stay. It is one of the most important things to ask about, and one of the least often published.
PROFESSIONAL ENDORSEMENTS
Endorsements come from registered professionals — psychologists, addiction GPs, lawyers, social workers — who have referred someone here and put their name to what happened. None yet does not mean poor ones: it means nobody has written one.

Rating not published
No reviews here does not mean poor reviews. We only collect and verify reviews for providers who have claimed their profile, which is a paid service for private providers.
Compiled by RehabFinder from this service’s own published material and public records. The provider has not claimed this profile, so nothing here has been confirmed by them. Anything marked “not published” means exactly that — we do not guess. Corrections are free: admin@rehabfinder.com.au.
