What does ADIC mean in DRUGS

The Alcohol Drug Information Centre (ADIC) is a national service providing support and advice to individuals and families affected by alcohol and drugs. ADIC aims to provide comprehensive, up-to-date information on alcohol and drug use and its consequences, as well as support for people impacted by these issues.

There are many ways to get in touch with ADIC. You can contact us directly through our website or toll-free hotline number. You can also join one of our interactive webinars or speak to an advisor online via chat. Our staff are available 7 days a week from 9am - 6pm AEST.

Yes we do! Our treatment programs are tailored to meet individual needs and focus on helping people develop skills that help them manage their behaviour in healthy ways. We offer one-on-one counselling in addition to group therapy sessions run by experienced professionals.

Depending on your situation, there may be a number of government organisations that have funds available for treatment programs such as those provided by ADIC. To find out if you’re eligible for financial assistance you should contact Centrelink or your local state government department responsible for mental health or drug/alcohol services.

Yes we do! We understand how difficult it can be living with someone who struggles with substance abuse so we provide ongoing family support groups where family members can talk openly about their experiences without judgement or stigma. We also offer education sessions for families aimed at improving understanding of addiction and including strategies on how best to approach it from both an individual and family perspective.

At ADIC, we strive to ensure accurate information about alcohol and other drugs is provided so that individuals can make informed decisions about their own behaviour and wellbeing. Our trained advisors are able to provide relevant advice based on current evidence related to prevention, harm reduction, education and treatment options associated with substance abuse.

Everyone’s situation is different so there is no set amount of times you should seek advice from us - it depends completely upon your individual circumstances however if you feel like you need assistance then do not hesitate to contact us whenever necessary!
