About DASSA Outpatient Services – Port Augusta
DASSA Outpatient Services keeps a clinic at 36 Flinders Terrace in Port Augusta, South Australia, where Drug and Alcohol Services (SA) provides free, confidential assessment and treatment for severe or complex alcohol or other drug problems. The reach extends far inland, and no referral is needed to make contact.
Few clinics cover as much ground: alongside Port Augusta, the service takes in Woomera, Roxby Downs, Coober Pedy, Hawker, Quorn and Leigh Creek. Assessment and referral, outreach, withdrawal management and counselling are what the site lists, with outreach doing much of the work across those far northern towns. Enquiries start on 1300 131 340.

DASSA Outpatient Services Alcohol and Drug Services
Care at the Port Augusta clinic covers assessment and referral, outreach, withdrawal management and outpatient counselling, all of it non-residential. An individual attends Flinders Terrace for appointments, or is seen by an outreach worker closer to home, and goes back home the same day.
Withdrawal management appears on the list without a stated setting, which matters in a district this spread out, so put that question to the intake team early. Substances treated, medications used, therapy types and support services such as housing or family work are not set out for this clinic, and the opioid treatment programme is not listed here.

How Much Does Treatment at DASSA Outpatient Services Cost?
Nothing is charged for treatment at the Port Augusta DASSA clinic. The service states no cost to the client, with Drug and Alcohol Services (SA) funding assessment, counselling, outreach contact and withdrawal support through the public health system rather than billing individuals or their families.
Distance is the real expense in this part of the state. Travel from Coober Pedy, Leigh Creek or Roxby Downs can cost more than the treatment, which is free, so ask the team whether an outreach visit can save the journey. No Medicare rebate, NDIS or WorkCover arrangement is listed for this clinic.

DASSA Outpatient Services Reviews
Reviews of the Port Augusta DASSA clinic from around the web are limited, which is typical of a public outpatient service spread across the far north of South Australia. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for this clinic, and anyone who has used it is invited to describe how it went.
Accounts from individuals in the outlying towns would be particularly valuable, since the experience of being seen on an outreach visit at Quorn or Hawker is not the same as walking into Flinders Terrace. Notes on waiting times, the assessment itself and the counselling that followed all help the next reader decide.
Very friendly staff and consultants.
absolutely the best mental health professional I've ever seen by a long way was seen here, the only problem for me is more of a problem with the overall service (program? idk) as funding is apparently done by LGA or… something so I had to switch to seeing someone else because of being priced out of my home by the rental market (the new professional is also fine it's just that we've only had like 2 appointments and I'm scared of just having another person to grow attached to and lose now) idk this is probably getting a bit long and personal for a review but the main point is the actual staff here are very good at what they do and very friendly
