TREATMENT SERVICE
THE SERVICE
A statewide ten-bed inpatient withdrawal unit run by Tasmania's Alcohol and Drug Services on the ground floor of the Carruthers Building at St Johns Park, New Town. Admissions are planned, last seven to ten days and are made by the unit's doctors Monday to Friday, with a discharge plan arranged in advance. The unit provides medically supervised withdrawal from alcohol and other drugs, health education, stress management, relapse prevention and discharge planning. It is smoke-free, free of charge and accepts self-referral.
Published as not offered here: residential rehabilitation, outpatient / day program.
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.
