What you need to know
Pre-admission
All participants seeking admission to Impact Recovery programs and supports are required to undertake a 40 minute telephone assessment.
Assessment
During assessment you will be asked questions relating to:
- Drugs use and drug history
- People who support you and your current living/financial situation
- Your mental health and your mental health history
- Your family and your past
- Your criminal history
Your honesty is important in answering these questions as they will assist us to determine the best individualised care and treatment plan for you.
On completion of the phone assessment, and if we can support you, a time and date will be allocated for admission.

Impact Recovery can accept the following clients:
- In custody referrals

If you are not able to be admitted
If for any reason we are not be able to support you in your decision to choose recovery, we will work with you to find a solution that best fits with your needs.
You cannot be admitted without having completed the telephone assessment.
Supporting Families and Friends!
The devastating impacts of an addiction don’t stop at the person who is affected.
Close family and friends often find themselves sharing the rollercoaster ride of emotions that go with any attempts to support or assist, from confusion and hopelessness to desperation.
We fully understand the impact that alcohol and drugs can have on families.
Our dedicated team empower many families to overcome their challenges by listening, responding and referring to other organisations that may also bring them a circle of care where it is deferred or non existent.
If you would like to talk to one of our team to get help, or for advice about how another person can get the assistance they need, please contact us.
