Uniting can support your withdrawal from alcohol or other drugs (AOD) through our residential and non-residential services for young people and adults in Victoria.
Many people in the community refer to withdrawal services as ‘detox’ services.
Our withdrawal services include medical and psychological support and are usually part of a longer-term treatment plan to assist with change.
Curran Place is our residential withdrawal unit for adults who want to withdraw from alcohol and other drugs. Located in Melbourne’s north, the 16-bed service provides a residential program of 7 to 10 days. We help you set realistic goals and make practical changes to your substance use. To find our more, please contact our Intake Team on 1800 700 514 to discuss your options.
Located at Curran Place, the Mother and Baby Withdrawal Service is available for up to 4 mothers and their babies for 7 to 10 days. It helps mothers and babies remain together during withdrawal. Only babies under 14 months can stay at the facility with their parent. Mothers participate in activities and groups at Curran Place, while the their baby is cared for by specialist staff.
Non-Residential Withdrawal supports people to safely withdraw from substances while staying in the community, instead of being admitted to a residential withdrawal service. The team can work with you and your doctor to put a safe withdrawal plan in place. We also offer outreach, meaning our team can come to your home to support your progress. We can also support you to prepare for an admission to one of our residential services, or help you step-out of a residential withdrawal service back into the community.
