Ratchet Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I had a feeling you may have seen this later than planned. Im 9 hours ahead of you, so its currently around 10pm on friday night. im not going to be in work now until monday. I will get there on your sunday night so will reply www.vic.gov.au search for drug and alcohol services www.dualdiagnosis.com.au VDDI Wheres the interveiw??? The treatment is very medical model and generally medic lead > which bloody annoys me. For ETOH - Diazepam. For OPI - Suboxone, Bup and Meth. Cannabis withdrawal and methamphetamin withdrawal is worth a google - treated with diaz:err:. Theres also a lot of gambling addiciton They like the AA and NA model out here. SMART recovery is making a name for itself. Very little family work >> its on the cards Most of this stuff is googleable. Oh and they dont appear to like alternative/complementary therapy.......its very much drug orientated and quick fixes > But thats due to the medics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
