Drop In Clinic
Monday to Friday (closed Wednesday) 8.30am to 12pm
The STP Drop-in clinic is open for anyone who uses stimulants. People can attend without an appointment and are provided with 30 minute sessions to address immediate concerns or needs related to their use of methamphetamine or other stimulants.
Outpatient Group: The Link Group
Wednesday 5.30pm to 7.00pm
This is a topic discussion group using strengths based approaches to support resilience and decision making. We run a mixed, friendly group that is open to the public. The trained staff are there to invite friendly, considerate discussions on topics that are more about life experiences than drug use which many people find helpful and refreshing. No booking or assessment required, just turn up.
Checkup clinic: S-Check – Stimulant Checkup Clinic www.scheck.com.au
Monday – Friday 8.30am to 5pm
S-Check at St Vincent’s Hospital is a Stimulant Check up, specifically designed for anyone who is using stimulants whether it be a little or a lot, all the time or only sometimes. It’s a place where people can get a non-judgemental, confidential health and wellbeing check with trained professionals. This is not treatment or a rehab service; it’s much more like making an appointment for a skin check, a dental check-up or any other health check except this one is for people who are using stimulants.
Counselling Service: STP – Stimulant Treatment Program
Monday – Friday 8.30am to 5pm
This was the first integrated and collaborative treatment program to deal systematically with stimulant related problems. Our counsellors are experienced in working with people who use stimulants and are aware of their specialised needs. The team endeavours to work creatively with their clients in addressing the broader psychosocial factors that both contribute to, and result from problematic stimulant use. Our therapeutic work draws from Strengths base approaches: Mindfulness, Gestalt, Client-Centred and Narrative.
