TREATMENT SERVICE
THE SERVICE
A Sydney Local Health District Drug Health site inside Redfern Community Health Centre. It is one of the district's two primary walk-in needle and syringe programs, open during business hours, with a 24-hour automatic dispensing machine outside it, and it hosts an anonymous community-based primary healthcare clinic for people who use drugs. It does not run an opioid treatment clinic; the district's opioid treatment programs sit at Royal Prince Alfred and Canterbury Hospitals.
Published as not offered here: residential rehabilitation, detox / withdrawal management, counselling & therapy.
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.
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.
