The capacity of mainstream alcohol and drug treatment services to respond to the needs of Indigenous Australians

Ann M Roche, Kenneth J Pidd and Vinita Duraisingam

MJA 2009; 190 (10): 582

To the Editor: Compared with non-Indigenous Australians, Indigenous Australians are more likely to smoke, drink at risky levels and use illicit drugs.1 These alcohol and other drug (AOD) use patterns contribute to or exacerbate a wide range of health conditions and are significant contributors to premature death and morbidity among Indigenous Australians.2
