DAWN Clinical Nurse Specialist
13 January 2017

Our Clinical Nurse Specialist will be part of a shared care team and work alongside local GPs to help people to withdraw from methamphetamines or other drugs.

 This new innovative service is in partnership with Cyrenian House with funding from the Mental Health Commission.  

It’s been set up to help those who don’t have the support they need at home.  From this inpatient service they can then transition to another support service that will assist them with their longer term recovery and reduce the burden on hospital based detox services.

DAWN typically provides a home based service that assists people to reduce or cease their substance use.
