TREATMENT SERVICE
THE SERVICE
North Richmond Community Health runs free, walk-in alcohol and other drug services from 23 Lennox Street, Richmond. The published programs are a needle and syringe program open weekdays, the PORI Community Overdose Response Initiative providing naloxone and overdose response training, an Advocacy and Client Empowerment service, and an AOD outreach and community engagement team serving the North Richmond Housing Precinct seven days a week with case management and referral. No appointment or Medicare card is needed.
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.
Not published. Ask before you assume any route is available to you.
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.
