The latest National Wastewater Drug Monitoring Program findings will help guide and inform Bendigo Community Health Services’ Alcohol and Other Drugs programs.
BCHS looks to the monitoring program’s regular report to confirm what staff already know is happening on the ground, and reinforce its education and response services.
The report provides national research and intelligence on illicit drugs and licit drugs that can be abused, and is funded by the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission.
Senior Leader Alcohol and Other Drugs Clinical Service Sheenah Van Eck said the 19th report, released in July, was “interesting, but not surprising”.
