(1) Treatment and support services for high-risk populations are provided by a range of non-government and government providers. Service types include Community Drug Services (metropolitan) and Community Drug Service Teams (regional), residential treatment services, sobering-up centres, The Fresh Start Recovery Program, Aboriginal specific services, outreach services, pharmacotherapy options (including methodone, buprenorphine, naltrexone, acamprosate, and disulfram) and withdrawal management services (detoxification), inpatient, outpatient, and home-based.
(2) The figures below represent the proportion of the total budget allocation for the Drug and Alcohol Office to provide, purchase, and support alcohol and other drug treatment and support services. This includes the value of all service agreements and the cost of administering service agreements, a portion of workforce development costs, and a portion of corporate costs. The proportions for workforce development and corporate costs for the 2012/13 year onwards has been calculated using the actual calculated proportion for the 2011/12 year.
2011/12 = $54.5 million
2012/13 = $57.6 million
2013/14 = $59.3 million
2013/14 = $61.7 million
(3) Thirty-eight non-government providers and three government providers are currently engaged.
(4-5) The list of service providers engaged by the Drug and Alcohol Office and their funding for the 2011/12 year is provided in the table below. The annual funding of the other DASSOG member agency action plans is the responsibility of the respective Minister with the corresponding portfolio responsibility.
