The services being purchased through this RFT are for the continued operation of the Rural Residential Adolescent Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) Rehabilitation Services in Coffs Harbour and Dubbo. 

The primary objective of the Rural Residential AOD Rehabilitation Services is to offer an intensive AOD program in a residential setting to assist young people to address their alcohol and other drug misuse connected with their offending behaviour. 

The Services provide a stable and secure environment where young people are assisted to address anti-social and risk taking behaviours while strengthening interpersonal skills and targets:

• Young people 13 to 18 years old who have a history of significant AOD use that contributes to their offending behaviour
• Young people who have a dual diagnosis, as well as young people on medically supervised detoxification medications.

The services will continue to be provided in the premises currently being used for this purpose.  The successful Tenderer(s) will be responsible for the management of the services as well as the premises. 

Successful tenderer(s) will be expected to comply with the Juvenile Justice Tender Specifications for the Services in Dubbo and Coffs Harbour and implement the X-Roads – A CBT Based Intervention targeting substance misuse for young people.
