WE ARE HERE FOR YOU.
Youth Alcohol and Other Drug (Youth AOD) service
We work alongside young people with alcohol and drug issues to help stop or reduce their intake.
You can make an appointment with our team, or ask your school, doctor or family to make a referral on your behalf. All of ACADS services are free, confidential and non-judgemental. We will work with you on a support plan and are here to answer any questions you may have.
We can also provide support if you are concerned about a family members alcohol or drug use. At any stage, you are welcome to bring a support person with you, such as a mate or a family member, if they would help you feel more comfortable.
