Strengthening the Evidence Base for Aboriginal Alcohol and other Drug Residential Rehabilitation Services

This report details the process and outcomes of working with six Aboriginal residential rehabilitation services in NSW to embed a Standardised Assessment Tool into their service delivery processes, and using it for service improvement. It is the second project delivered by a partnership between the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre (NDARC) at the University of NSW and the participating Aboriginal residential rehabilitation services. The report from the first project can be found on the Understanding clients, treatment models and evaluation options for the NSW Aboriginal Residential Healing Drug and Alcohol Network (NARHDAN): a community based participatory research approach web page.
