Hi Raynor, welcome back to the forums. We can't recommend specific services on the forums, but this information might be useful for you:
VAC - LGBTI health service
Experienced counsellors can meet with you to discuss your concerns and goals around your alcohol or drug use.
You may wish to learn more about the effects of drug use on your health or mental health, find strategies to better control or reduce your drug use or access support to stop using completely and improve your well-being.
Directline Victoria (Victorian Alcohol and Other Drug help)
DirectLine is a statewide telephone and online service which supports people seeking alcohol and other drugs information, advice or referral. It is a useful first point of contact for alcohol and other drug users, and health and human service providers, including general practitioners.
Most clients identified as non-dependent users are offered telephone and online supports, including information and advice, brief interventions, worker-facilitated and self-guided supports, and referrals to other services. Clients identified as likely to require treatment for alcohol and other drug-related risk, harm or dependence are referred to catchment-based intake services.
DirectLine offers information, advice and brief interventions before, during and after treatment and operates 24-hours a day, seven days a week. It is staffed by professional counsellors at Turning Point, a centre of excellence for alcohol and other drug treatment, research and education, a part of Eastern Health.
DirectLine can be accessed over the phone on 1800 888 236 or at the DirectLine website on www.directline.org.au
