DASSA Outpatient Services - Tanunda
About DASSA Outpatient Services – Tanunda
DASSA Outpatient Services – Tanunda operates from Pfeiffer House at 15 Mill St in Tanunda, South Australia, where Drug and Alcohol Services (SA) provides free, confidential assessment and treatment for severe or complex alcohol or other drug problems. A referral is required before entry to this site.
Tanunda is unusual among the DASSA outpatient sites because rehabilitation appears here too: assessment and referral, withdrawal management, non-residential rehabilitation, counselling and residential rehabilitation all appear. Opening runs Monday to Friday, and because a referral is needed, the first step is usually a health professional or a call to 1300 131 340.

DASSA Outpatient Services Detox and Rehab Services
Tanunda’s DASSA entry spans five levels of care: assessment and referral, withdrawal management, non-residential rehabilitation, outpatient counselling and residential rehabilitation. That mix means treatment can run from a single assessment through to a rehabilitation programme, with the residential option the most structured of them.
How long either rehabilitation programme lasts, where the residential component is based and which medications or therapies are involved are not set out, and no setting is stated for withdrawal management, so these are questions for the intake team. Substances treated and support services are not named for this site either, and entry depends on a referral.

DASSA Outpatient Services Reviews
Public comment on DASSA Outpatient Services – Tanunda is limited around the web, which is common for government alcohol and drug services in smaller South Australian towns. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for this service, and anyone who has gone through assessment, counselling or rehabilitation here is welcome to share their experience.
Given that Tanunda lists rehabilitation alongside outpatient care, an account of how the referral was arranged and what the programme actually involved would be particularly helpful. Notes on waiting times, the support offered to family members and life after the programme all add to what you or someone you care about can learn beforehand.
Great place when in desperate need of help. Although they had made some admin errors in my appointment times, the staff, including admin, nursing, support and docs took the time to thoroughly assess my situation and… acted professionally and with empathy. They efficiently organised and immediate solution for my withdrawals and a plan moving forward. Little things like offering cold bottles of water on a 40+ degree day to everyone waiting and after consult goes a long way.
One star organisation. See you off the street one day then won't see you for 5 days when in need. 5 minutes is all it would have taken.
Will be clean and sober for 5 years in July, and I can safely assume I will never drink again. Started treatment at DASSA Elizebeth in July 2019, and ceased in March last year. Had several different treating doctors,… however, it was the resident psychologist at DASSA Elizabeth, that really helped me ensure I will stay on the sober path. She really helped me process my horrendous childhood and helped me understand what I went through. If you suffer addiction due to trauma DASSA can really help.
Useless
Absolutely bull I've been trying to get help 4 weeks I've waited for my appointment just for it to be cancelled on my an hour before it and now back where I started people looking for help just don't get any
