ABOUT BRADAAG

BRADAAG has responded to these challenges by establishing a range of programs that provide a continuum of care for Alcohol and other Drug Clients, so clients can receive the necessary, appropriate and on-going support to address their needs, within their local area. BRADAAG has recently developed a strategic model for the delivery of care, known as Pathways, with community and culturally safe, evidence-based, professional and integrated therapeutic care central to this new model.
