Additional resources for specific populations with disorders of substance use or addictive behaviours

Some resources to support treatment of substance use or addictive behaviours focus on specific populations; these include:

• young people
• older people
• populations of diverse sexuality or gender
• females
• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
• people with mental illness
• occupational groups.

The national Alcohol and Drug Information Service (ADIS), available on 1800 250 015, may also be able to assist clinicians with referral enquiries for specific populations.

These resources should be considered in addition to those in Substance use clinical advisory services for clinicians (substance use clinical advisory services) and Specialist gambling therapy services for referral (specialist gambling services for referral).
