The Victorian Government has announced plans and funding for a new residential withdrawal unit especially for mothers and babies

Check out the press release here.This is great news considering the barriers many mother and parents face when trying to access residential withdrawal services. The new unit will be co-located with ReGen's current adult withdrawal unit and will be operational in 2016. From a youth perspective many youth AOD services have a strong tradition of tailoring withdrawal unit environments to meet the needs of young mothers with babies.
