Alcohol

Directions Health Services have provided support to those impacted by alcohol, drugs and other addictions for more than forty years.

They are a specialist drug treatment service funded primarily by ACT Health and the Australian Government Department of Health.

The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) eASSIST provides a questionnaire which screens for all levels of problem or risky substance use. The ACT eASSIST provides an evidence based structured and consistent way for health, community and other workers to:

  • identify is someone is experiencing alcohol,tobacco or other drug problems,
  • determine the level of risk of their use , and what to do next,
  • provide a 10 step brief intervention & information,
  • provide a feedback report card for clients regarding the risks associated with their drug use,
  • identify an appropriate referral point for treatment and support.
