DASSA Outpatient Services - Yorke Peninsula
About DASSA Outpatient Services – Yorke Peninsula
DASSA Outpatient Services – Yorke Peninsula operates from 1 Ernest Terrace at Wallaroo, South Australia, with Drug and Alcohol Services (SA) providing free, confidential assessment and treatment for severe or complex alcohol or other drug problems. Medication assisted treatment for opioid dependence is offered, and a referral is required.
The service covers towns across the peninsula, among them Maitland, Yorketown, Minlaton, Ardrossan, Wallaroo and Moonta, and lists the opioid treatment programme, assessment and referral, withdrawal management and counselling. Opening runs Monday to Friday. Because entry needs a referral, a general practitioner or another service usually makes contact first, with 1300 131 340 for general enquiries.

DASSA Outpatient Services – Yorke Peninsula Alcohol and Drug Services
Four levels of care appear for the Yorke Peninsula service: a medication assisted opioid treatment programme, assessment and referral, withdrawal management and outpatient counselling. All are non-residential, so treatment is built around appointments at Ernest Terrace rather than any stay, and a referral opens the door.
Outreach is not listed for this site, even though the catchment covers much of the peninsula, so ask how individuals in Yorketown or Minlaton are expected to attend. The medicines used in the opioid treatment programme, the setting for withdrawal management, the substances treated and the therapies offered are all unstated.

DASSA Outpatient Services – Yorke Peninsula Reviews
Public feedback on DASSA Outpatient Services – Yorke Peninsula is limited around the web, as it tends to be for government clinics serving a scattered rural catchment. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for this service, and anyone who has attended at Wallaroo is welcome to describe how the experience went.
Practical detail would help most: how long the referral took to turn into an appointment, how often attendance was needed for the opioid treatment programme and whether the travel from towns like Yorketown proved manageable. That is the kind of information you or someone you care about cannot get anywhere else.
