St Vincent de Paul’s Rendu House is a non-residential Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) treatment service offering three programs.
Rendu House’s Before and After Care (Outreach) and Complex Support Needs programs (both commissioned by SWSPHN) complement the Day Program (commissioned by South Western Sydney Local Health District).
GPs or other health or welfare services can refer to the programs or patients can self-refer by calling 4621 5500 or email Rendu.House@vinnies.org.au
The Before and Aftercare Program prepares clients to enter the Rendu House six-week non-residential day program, and provides aftercare for up to 12 months following completion of the day program.
The Complex Support Needs Service provides treatment for people who may have barriers to entering the Rendu House Day Program, including a new initiative to provide individualised psychosocial programs to assist clients to reach their treatment goals.
Rendu House can provide clients with:
- psychosocial counselling
- case management
- educational and support groups for alcohol and other drugs and co-occurring alcohol and other drugs and mental health needs
- nursing services for health assessments, medical guidance and support for home-based withdrawal in partnership with GPs
- outreach services are available in Liverpool, Fairfield and Warwick Farm
