Need support services for drug and alcohol related issues? Co.As.It.’s Drug and Alcohol Program offers free counselling for the community in both English and Italian
As well as providing case management for individuals, the program is also focused on preventative campaigns aimed at both older and younger members of the community.

Our services are free, as they are fully funded by NSW Health. They do not require a GP’s referral or Community Treatment Plans.
Services are not limited to the residents of the Inner-West municipality or the Italian community. Our counsellor can communicate in both the Italian and English languages
The program offers ten sessions. However, the numbers are assessed on a case-by-case basis, and extensions are evaluated individually for each client.
Sessions can be conducted in our offices, via teleconferencing or by phone.
