WE’RE ALL ABOUT YOU
THE LWB APPROACH
We see people as individuals who have unique needs and tailor our services to meet their needs by adopting a client centered approach.
We adopt a harm-minimisation framework in the Alcohol and Other Drug programs, supporting our clients to identify and achieve their identified treatment goals.
Our goal is to help each person see their personal strengths and use these to achieve long lasting changes in their lives.
Our services are designed and delivered in ways that are inclusive, appropriate and respectful to all people.
DRUG AND ALCOHOL COUNSELLING SERVICE
Counselling is voluntary.
Counselling sessions are held at our local offices and will operate within normal business hours - telephone and online support sessions will be available where significant barriers to accessing office based appointments exist.
Services intervene at the earliest possible point of crisis to minimise ongoing dependency on services.
LWB collaborates with other agencies, ensuring a comprehensive and holistic approach in meeting the client’s needs, safety and recognising/addressing the needs of the client’s children where applicable.
Where there is a wait list we will work with the individual to remain connected and engaged.
Group sessions utilise a recovery methodology which provides relapse prevention strategies through education and group activities.
