St Vincent De Paul, AOD Continuing and Coordinated Care Program

The Continuing Coordinated Care Program (CCCP) provides case management to coordinate care for people experiencing alcohol and other drug (AOD) use issues and other significant health and social issues that cannot be addressed by their AOD treatment alone.

The CCCP focuses on reducing drug related harms and improving broader health and social functioning. CCCP does not provide direct counselling or other therapeutic alcohol and drug treatment interventions but the CCCP can link people into these types of services.

Aim

To reduce the risk of harm and improve health and psychosocial outcomes for people who have alcohol and other drug use issues and complex support needs.

Objectives  

• Support retention in and access to AOD treatment.

• Improve access to and coordination of health and psychosocial services.

• Reduce alcohol and other drug use and related harm.

• Address barriers to accessing services by providing individual and systemic advocacy to achieve access to AOD, health and psychosocial services.

The CCCP services are available to people 18 years or older with:

• Complex psychosocial support needs that require intensive case management to support achievement and/or maintenance of AOD treatment goals, and

• current or recent harmful AOD use; or

• current or recent (within the last month) engagement with AOD treatment or requiring support to access AOD treatment.

The CCCP is an outreach service covering South West Sydney and the Southern Highlands.

Referral

People will only be accepted into the CCCP if their involvement is voluntary. Referral to the CCCP can be made by anyone with the person’s consent or self-referral by phoning or applying online.
