FOR LOVED ONES OF THOSE SUFFERING DRUG ADDICTION

Optimal Health Group and AAIC have partnered to offer a new and free family support group. Call 0481 844 555 to book in.

Families are provided with some valuable basic tools to teach them how to help their loved one through the costs vs benefits and to challenge them to work towards treatment as a goal.

They will be given resources that will include a range of treatment and intervention services. If families need further intervention, a resource referral list will be given, that will have further intensive and useful help.
