TREATMENT SERVICE
THE SERVICE
Uniting Vic.Tas delivers community services from 105 Dana Street, Ballarat. Its alcohol and other drug team provides counselling for adults and young people, culturally safe Aboriginal alcohol and drug support, harm reduction, a needle and syringe program, group treatment and education, outreach and withdrawal programs. Youth treatment services cover ages twelve to twenty-five. The service runs Monday to Friday, nine to five, face to face, by outreach or by telehealth, and is entered through ACSO central intake. Mental health counselling, meals, emergency relief and housing services also operate here.
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.
