Abstract
This summary is based on the Review of alcohol and drug treatment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It provides an overview of the available evidence for treatment approaches to help a person reduce or stop substance use. These are treatments for when a person has evidence of either hazardous use or problem alcohol and other drug (AOD) use (see Box 1 for terms used). Some approaches to address substance use are not included in this summary (e.g. for tobacco cessation or volatile substance use). This summary presents information on:
• the available research and other evidence that underpins AOD treatment approaches for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
• considerations for specific groups and settings
• policy, future research and recommendations...
