Referrals to Southcity Clinic are made through your GP or another health care professional working in the alcohol and other drug field

If you are unsure as to the appropriateness of your referral ask your GP or other health care professional to contact the clinic and consult with a member of the clinic staff.

The assessment process has two components:

1. an interview with one of the counselling clinicians at the clinic
   &
2. a medical assessment with one of the alcohol and other drug medical specialists

Where possible clinic staff will endeavour to arrange these two appointments on the same day, however due to time constraints, this is not always possible. In some situations the medical appointment will be the day after the initial assessment.

A referral letter needs to be provided to the clinic either before, or at the start of the assessment interview.
