• Providing this service through an integrated multi disciplinary treatment and support approach.

We hold to the evidence that a diagnosed mental health disorder will be negatively compromised by continued use and abuse of alcohol and other drugs.

We provide:

• Assessment and treatment planning
• Education
• Understanding
• We are Whanau centred, Strength based and Recovery focused.
