4. Health Needs Assessment: Snapshot4
5. What we know: Methamphetamine treatmentPeople who use methamphetamine often experience relatively high levels of harm.Treatment for methamphetamine use can be more resource-intensive than treatment for use of other drugs. 2022-23 ACT Budget committed $1.282 million to enhance integrated services for methamphetamine dependence and co-occurring physical and mental health problems.5
6. What we know: Family and carer supportFamilies and carers are crucial in supporting and advocating for their loved ones who use ATOD. Three broad categories of interventions involve families and carers: Working with family members to promote entry and engagement of people who use ATOD in treatment Joint involvement of family members in treatment Interventions to help family members in their own right.Family members and carers accessing services are more likely to maintain their support-giving role and their service use is linked to better treatment outcomes and recovery of people experiencing ATOD use issues.We have heard there is a need for additional support for families and carers.2022-23 ACT Budget allocated $1.591 million for a support service for families and carers of those experiencing problematic alcohol and other drug use. 6
