The Victorian Alcohol Statistics Handbook series

All publications in the series are available as a free down load

The information contained handbooks is derived from work conducted by the Turning Point EpiCentre under the umbrella of the Alcohol Epidemiology Project. This project has established key indicators of alcohol consumption and alcohol-related harm within the Victorian community.

Clinical Treatment Guidelines No. 14:.
Methamphetamine Dependence and Treatment

People who use methamphetamines regularly or in high doses present to treatment services with a wide range of complex issues, including mental and physical health problems. In addition, methamphetamine users are often reluctant to access specialist treatment services primarily because they are unclear about their treatment options. Services are not well oriented to manage these clients, who are often difficult to engage. These guidelines provide drug and alcohol workers with effective assessment and treatment tools to assist them with meeting the complex needs of clients who use methamphetamines.
