There are a number of treatment options available in Australia. While abstinence may be suitable for some, many programs understand that for others this may not be realistic or possible. Most programs use strategies that have an overall aim of reducing the harms and risks related to the person's drug use.

Some treatment options include counselling, withdrawal (detox) and pharmacotherapy (like methadone). Residential and 'out-patient' programs are also available.
