How to access
To access the Care Coordination service you must be referred through the Alcohol and Drug Services (ADS) by you, your GP or by another service or health professional.
ADS is a free alcohol and drug treatment service funded by the Tasmanian Government Department of Health. They have clinics in Hobart, Launceston and Ulverstone.
Care Coordination is supported by the Crown through the Department of Health (Tasmania).
Tyson's story*
Before I started the Care Coordination program, my life was a mess.
I used drugs, gambled my money, had nowhere to live and suffered from depression and anxiety.
I started the program ten months ago.
Since then things have improved heaps as a result of the support I got from my worker.
I have somewhere secure to live, I’ve reduced drugs and gambling and I’ve got a more optimistic outlook on life.
