TREATMENT SERVICE
THE SERVICE
A free, non-residential alcohol and other drug service run by Bayside Health at Wonthaggi Hospital, with clinics at Phillip Island Community Hospital and the Grantville Rural Transaction Centre. It offers assessment and referral, individual and family counselling, care and recovery coordination, family support groups, SMART Recovery groups, and a needle and syringe program using dispensing machines. Residential withdrawal and rehabilitation are arranged by referral to external services. Intake is through the Access team or ACSO.
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.
