THE SERVICE
Bairnsdale Regional Health Service operates an inpatient withdrawal bed program at its Day Street hospital campus for people in the Gippsland catchment who are dependent on alcohol or other drugs and likely to experience withdrawal symptoms. The service is free and funded by the Victorian Government. Entry is through the regional intake provider ACSO Connect, followed by a Victorian AOD comprehensive assessment and a documented pre-admission process managed by the hospital's AOD referrals team.
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 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.

ONGOING SUPPORT
Details of ongoing support are not published here. Ask the service what support is available when your treatment ends.
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.
