Our PHN funds local residential, non-residential, culturally appropriate alcohol and other drug services to provide evidence-based treatment and support to help people achieve their goals and change their lives.
Residential Services
The Australian Government requires Darling Downs and West Moreton PHN to take a role in the planning and commissioning of drug and alcohol treatment services, to reduce the harm associated with drugs and alcohol, with a focus on methamphetamine use in the community, including culturally appropriate services.
The aims of the PHN commissioned activities are to:
- Increase service delivery capacity of the alcohol and other drug treatment sector through improved regional coordination, by targeting areas of need with a focus on methamphetamine use in the community.
- Improve the effectiveness of alcohol and other drug treatment services for individuals requiring support and treatment, particularly for methamphetamine use, by increasing coordination between various sectors, and improving sector efficiency.
