Police or Court Drug Diversion (PCD).

AOD Counselling Services: Recovery Pathways

We offer continuity of service for clients who have completed a PCD session with us, or for people who are over 18 years old, experiencing moderate-to-severe alcohol and other drug (AOD) challenges. This service is designed to work with the client, to develop a plan around goals they want to work towards to reduce the impact of substance use on their life, health, and wellbeing.

The Recovery Pathways service offers up to 12 one-hour counselling sessions with an experienced AOD counsellor in one of our offices, over the phone and via video conferencing.

Intake, assessment and referral

Self-referrals, referrals from friends, family, GPs, members of the community and health services are all accepted for people who are 18 years or older. Referrals from court services are also accepted. 

Initial assessments for the Recovery Pathways Program can be conducted over the phone, online via video conferencing, or in person at the client’s choice. Initial assessments for the Police/Court Diversion program can either be done online via video conferencing or in person.
