About DASSA Outpatient Services – Gawler
DASSA Outpatient Services at Gawler East is the Drug and Alcohol Services (SA) clinic for Gawler and its surrounding districts, offering free and confidential assessment and treatment to individuals with severe or complex alcohol or other drug problems. A referral is needed before an appointment is made.
The clinic lists medication assisted treatment of opioid dependence, assessment and referral, withdrawal management and counselling. Gawler sits at the top of Adelaide’s northern corridor, so the clinic is within reach of both the outer suburbs and the southern Barossa. A GP can write the referral, and the statewide alcohol and drug line on 1300 131 340 can help work out where to start.

DASSA Outpatient Services Alcohol and Drug Services
Four services make up what DASSA Outpatient Services offers at Gawler East: medication assisted treatment of opioid dependence, assessment and referral, withdrawal management and counselling. The clinic is non-residential, and because the setting for withdrawal management is not listed, the assessment decides how that part is managed.
Counselling and opioid pharmacotherapy are listed as open to all audiences. Beyond those four services, no therapies, further medications, assessment tools, support services or programme lengths are listed for Gawler East, so the team itself is the best source on what is available locally and what would involve travelling into Adelaide. A referral is the starting point either way.
