Response
Hauora a Toi Mental Health and Addiction Services does not have a documented list of therapeutic
interventions/treatments
that are provided. Mental Health and Addiction Services provide community
care focused on recovery and harm reduction.
The Bay of Plenty Addiction Service is a specialist regional service working with adult (18+) clients
with moderate to severe alcohol and other drug problems. They offer specialist services such as
detox and Opioid Substitution (Methadone) Treatment, and work with a multi-disciplinary team
approach. The services are supported by a 24-hour seven-day-a-week acute/crisis service and
acute admission inpatient services.
The Tauranga acute inpatient unit, Te Whare Maiangiangi, provides 24 beds and the Whakatāne
acute/crisis inpatient unit, Te Toki Maurere, has 10 beds.
The main community services focus on:
• community alcohol and drug
• mental health services for older people
• child and adolescent mental health
• community mental health.
Some of these services also help with eating disorders, maternal mental health, early intervention,
consultation and liaison. Consumer and family/whānau advisors are available to help people in our
communities, their families and staff with consumer and family issues.
Te Pou Kōkiri cultural advisors are available to provide cultural support to Māori. They work closely
with community services including accommodation providers, iwi-based groups, family groups and
consumer groups.
