The Client Services and Development Directorate works with key stakeholders to plan, develop and resource a network of drug and alcohol treatment and support services across the state. The aim is to ensure all Western Australians have access to a range of services that are culturally secure and meet their needs.
Contracted services include:
- residential treatment services
- outpatient counselling services
- specialist drug and alcohol services
- sobering-up centres and detoxification services.
The Client Services Directorate coordinates the WA Diversion Program which aims to reduce crime by diverting drug-using offenders into treatment.
The directorate also operates the Alcohol and Drug Information Service, the Parent Drug Information Service and provides the Western Australian counselling component of Quitline, a helpline for tobacco users.
