Fresh hope for youth
We have just opened NSW’s first youth detox facility, David Martin Place.
The $3 million facility will support 10 young people at a time through a substance withdrawal and detox program for up to 28 days.
David Martin Place joins the highly effective Triple Care Farm youth drug and alcohol program in the state’s Southern Highlands, adding another vital layer of support for vulnerable 16 to 24 year olds.
Triple Care Farm program manager Gabriella Holmes says the new service will help young people take the crucial first step out of the cycle of substance abuse.
“We have a dynamic and professional team ready to go, to ensure we are delivering effective and engaging support to assist young clients to withdraw from illicit substances and alcohol.”
Young people are becoming increasingly concerned about alcohol and drugs, labelling it the top issue facing Australia today.#
