We know that the use of alcohol and other drugs (AOD) can seriously impact all areas of your life. It can result in you feeling out of control and overwhelmed by the psychological, physical and psychosocial effects of AOD use and associated mental health issues. Our trained counsellors are here to help you.
cohealth alcohol and other drug (AOD) counsellors have specialist qualifications, experience and skills to work with problematic AOD and Mental Health. You can come to see us voluntarily or you can be referred by the criminal justice system and other services. Counselling typically occurs once a week or once a fortnight.
Counselling is trauma informed, strengths based and non-judgemental. We use evidenced based treatment models which are proven to give you the best chance with your AOD treatment. We aim to reduce harm to individuals, families and communities and to help people achieve meaningful goals within an integrated recovery framework.
Our counsellors can work with you to:
We also offer Care Recovery Coordination (CRC). This is a more practical AOD session and does not include counselling. It is a session where we can refer you to other services and coordinate your care without doing counselling.

We are trained and qualified in a range of evidence-based models which have been tested to be the most successful to work with problematic AOD Use.
