Alcohol & Other Drug Programme
Waipiro me Ētahi atu Hōtaka Rongoā

Alcohol and other drugs (AOD) in the workplace pose a threat to health, safety and performance. Tackling this issue requires a comprehensive approach which is fully integrated into the operational procedures of the organisation.

When applied consistently, an Alcohol and Other Drug programme can provide long-lasting positive results for the individual and the organisation. 

We ensure our AOD programmes are facilitated and run by a Registered and Accredited Addiction Practitioners’ Association Aotearoa New Zealand (DAPAANZ) professional.
