The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has released a new report late in August, titled ‘Alcohol and other drug treatment services in Australia 2011-12.’

Almost 700 agencies provided more than 150,000 treatment episodes for alcohol and other drug issues in Australia in 2011-12.

Most of the closed episodes provided in 2011-12 were for clients receiving treatment for their own drug use, and these clients tended to be male and in their 20s and 30s.

Alcohol was the most common principal drug of concern, accounting for almost half of these closed episodes, and counselling was the most common type of treatment.
