Person Centered
Person-cantered comprehensive care is an approach that prioritizes the individual's needs, preferences, and goals while providing a comprehensive range of healthcare services. It involves tailoring care to the unique circumstances of each person, considering their physical, emotional, and social well-being. The approach encompasses a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals who collaborate to deliver coordinated and integrated care.
Evidence-based care
Managing co-occurring alcohol, other drug and mental health conditions:
BailSafe provides direct therapeutic interventions as prescribed in the guidelines on the management of co-occurring alcohol and other drug and mental health conditions in alcohol and other drug treatment settings. https://comorbidityguidelines.org.au
The guidelines recommend an integrated holistic model of care that includes psychological approaches, pharmacological approaches, self-help groups, and e-health interventions.
Psychological approaches
Pharmacological approaches
The use of pharmacotherapies is a common practice in the treatment of both AOD use and mental health disorders. It is recommended, however, that when pharmacotherapy is used, this should be accompanied by supportive psychosocial interventions.
Holistic Health Care Framework
The multitude of risk factors for premature mortality and poor physical health among those with AOD and mental health conditions provides the impetus for interventions that focus on overall wellbeing.
Self-help Groups
Reviews in the research literature suggest that some clients of AOD services will benefit from joining a self-help group such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, SMART Recovery, or alternative self-help groups. ‘Dual diagnosis’ support groups are also an option, specifically for people with co-occurring mental health and AOD use disorders.
E-health interventions
E-health is the provision of health services and/or information via the Internet or associated technologies. Since its relatively recent appearance, it has been referred to as one of the most important revolutionary additions to modern healthcare. E-health interventions provide the opportunity to overcome traditional barriers to treatment that often prevent people seeking help, including social or cultural prejudices, stigma, difficulties accessing services, finding appropriate available services, as well as financial and geographical barriers.
BailSafe Model of Care
BailSafe is a rehabilitation treatment and monitoring program for adults on bail or seeking bail who require support and rehabilitation for substance use, addiction, mental health, and medical care. The program aims to reduce the likelihood of people re-offending by providing patients access integrated care to address the physical and mental health illnesses that directly contribute to anti-sovial behavior.
Integrated Care
Patients are assigned a case manager who meets with them weekly to co-ordinate care, review their progress and provide updates to the courts. Patients are supported by a General Practitioner, Psychologist, Accredited Social Worker, and Case Manager, supervised urine drug screen, E-health and digital support applications.
Digital Care
All medical and counselling appointments are online using Telehealth, except for twice weekly supervised urine drug screens (UDS) which the patient is required to attend in person at a nominated pathology centre.
Comprehensive Care
Individualized Care Plan: The treatment model involves developing an individualized care plan based on a comprehensive assessment. This acknowledges the uniqueness of each person and tailors the care plan to their specific needs, preferences, and goals.
Multidisciplinary Care Team: The treatment model involves a multidisciplinary care team consisting of healthcare professionals from different disciplines. This team collaborates and works together to provide comprehensive and coordinated care, reflecting the principles of integrated care.
Continuity and Coordination: The treatment model includes regular assessments, scheduled reviews, and ongoing monitoring activities. This ensures continuity and coordination of care over the 12-week duration of the program.
Patient Engagement: The treatment model emphasizes patient engagement and education, empowering individuals to actively participate in their care and decision-making process. This aligns with the person-cantered care approach, which recognizes the importance of involving patients in their own healthcare journey.
Holistic Approach: The treatment model incorporates various therapeutic activities, including individual psychoeducation, group therapy, and support group sessions, to address the physical, mental, and social aspects of the individual's well-being. This holistic approach considers the individual as a whole person, not just their addiction.

“Section 4.1 Immediate reporting
Immediate reporting Information sharing between CCS and AOD providers is critical to treatment engagement and completion and order compliance.

In line with legislative requirements and best practice, authorisation to share information between CCS, COATS and AOD providers is obtained from an individual prior to commencing referral, assessment, and treatment. The client’s signed authority for inter-agency information exchange and sharing underpins the Framework. Shared information may include but is not limited to:
