About DASSA Southern Metro
DASSA Southern Metro is the Drug and Alcohol Services (SA) clinic at 1/209 Main South Road in Morphett Vale, South Australia, offering free and confidential assessment and treatment for severe or complex alcohol or other drug problems. Medication assisted treatment for opioid dependence is included, and no referral is needed.
Serving Adelaide’s southern suburbs, the clinic lists the opioid treatment programme, assessment and referral, withdrawal management and counselling, and opens Monday to Friday. Two numbers are given: the statewide line on 1300 131 340 and the clinic’s own (08) 8325 8111, so an enquiry or intake call can go directly to the team at Morphett Vale.

DASSA Southern Metro Alcohol and Drug Services
DASSA Southern Metro lists four levels of care: medication assisted treatment for opioid dependence, assessment and referral, withdrawal management and outpatient counselling. The clinic is non-residential, so care is delivered through appointments at Main South Road, with the opioid treatment programme arranged through the same team.
Which medicines the opioid treatment programme uses is not stated, and neither is the setting for withdrawal management, so both are worth raising at the first appointment. Outreach is not listed for Southern Metro, nor are group work, a family programme or aftercare, and the substances treated are not named.

Where Is DASSA Southern Metro?
DASSA Southern Metro is at 1/209 Main South Road, Morphett Vale, South Australia, postcode 5162, in Adelaide’s southern suburbs. The unit number matters, as the clinic occupies part of a larger address rather than a building of its own, so look for the right entrance.
Opening is Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. No referral is needed, and you can call the clinic directly on (08) 8325 8111 or use the statewide line on 1300 131 340; health professionals can refer through the service’s own contact channels. Appointment availability varies, so confirm before travelling.

DASSA Southern Metro Reviews
Reviews of DASSA Southern Metro from around the web are limited, which is common for public alcohol and drug clinics in the Adelaide suburbs. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for this clinic, and anyone who has been treated at Main South Road is welcome to share what the service was like.
Because the clinic runs an opioid treatment programme alongside counselling, accounts of both strands would be useful: how quickly an assessment was offered, how the medication side was handled day to day and whether counselling was available in step with it. First-hand detail beats any score.
js didn’t like it tbh
Disgraceful services! The doctors absolutely do not have your best interests! appalling behaviour from supposed professionals, which I assure they are not! I’ve been laughed at, and talked to/understood in sarcastic… ways! They have no and give no understanding to personal circumstances, I would never recommend anyone in trouble to go to southern Dassa, they are by far the worst help I’ve ever tired to get when I’ve been in need of help, they would rather you be on “drugs off the street” than help you decrease on a medication at a safe rate for the individual person, with no compassion or empathy. If I could give minus starts I would and I’m sure everyone else would agree! Disgusting people
Under resourced. Rude and unempathetic and using an incredibly old approach to addiction. Shame SA Health
I am not going to provide details because it would be to critical
great caring people there to help and guide
didn't let me take any of my drugs in >:(
Disgusting behavior. "Punished" for their inadequacues on several occasions. I highly recommend going to a private doctor (Highly Reccomend Rhys Henning) for a personalized service and be treated like a human being.
