TREATMENT SERVICE
THE SERVICE
Ballarat Community Health runs the region's non-residential alcohol and other drug service from its Sebastopol centre and other Ballarat sites. It offers individual counselling, family support, care and recovery coordination for complex needs, withdrawal assessment for home-based or residential detox, nurse practitioner-led opioid replacement and nicotine replacement therapy, a needle and syringe program, and youth outreach for 12 to 25 year olds. A free eight-week day rehabilitation program, Making A Change, is also run.
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.
Medicare, State funded
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.
