Addiction support

Support for adults who want to understand or change their relationship with substance or behavioural addictions, including alcohol, drugs, gambling and gaming.

Start with what is happening now

You might be concerned about how much you are using, losing control of a behaviour, or the effect on your relationships, work or wellbeing. You do not need to have everything worked out before asking about support.

What we can work on

Sessions can explore the situations, emotions and patterns connected with substance and behavioural addictions, including alcohol, drugs, gambling and gaming. Together, you can discuss your goals, ways of responding to urges, and practical changes that fit your circumstances. Stress, mood and relationship difficulties can be part of that conversation too.

A plan suited to your needs

An initial appointment is a chance to discuss your concerns and whether this service is suitable. Psychological support may form part of a wider plan with your GP or an alcohol and other drug service. Our admin team can explain appointment options and referrals.

Medical support and withdrawal

This practice provides psychological appointments, rather than medical detoxification. Withdrawal from some substances can be dangerous. Speak with your GP or an alcohol and other drug service before stopping or reducing substances if dependence or withdrawal may be involved.

Appointments in Townsville & online

Face-to-face appointments are available at two locations in Townsville. Telehealth and phone appointments are available across Australia. Our admin team can explain availability, fees, referrals and the appointment format suitable for your enquiry.
