Low Medical Withdrawal Unit 

Wunan has been engaged to deliver the first-of-its-kind Aboriginal community-controlled low medical withdrawal service in Kununurra, Western Australia. 

The service will provide the local Kimberley community with a safe place to withdraw from alcohol and other drugs, and stabilise before receiving further treatment. 

It will also provide treatment options to support people experiencing co-occurring issues with alcohol and other drugs, and mental health. 

The establishment of this low medical withdrawal service in the Kimberley will address an existing gap in services, as identified in the Western Australian Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drug Services Plan 2015-2025.
