TREATMENT SERVICE
THE SERVICE
The alcohol and other drug service of a Melbourne public hospital. Its Department of Addiction Medicine at 62 Gertrude Street, Fitzroy runs specialist medical consultation clinics by GP referral, counselling, group programs, peer support and a consultation-liaison service for hospital inpatients, and provides treatment under the Severe Substance Dependence Treatment Act. It also operates Depaul House, a twelve-bed community residential medically supervised withdrawal unit at 9 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy, averaging five to seven days. No charge.
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.
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.
