Abstract
Excerpt from the Executive Summary: "The total social and economic costs and harms of alcohol consumption in the Northern Territory (NT) equates to $1.38 billion per year (Smith, Whetton, & d’Abbs, 2019). A comprehensive strategy is required, that includes alcohol treatment services to curb these costs. Typically, alcohol treatment services are defined as clinical interventions such as withdrawal, counselling, residential rehabilitation and pharmacotherapy. However, a broader definition would include a broader range of interventions, such as brief interventions in primary care, and social and emotional wellbeing services provided in the context of reducing alcohol consumption."
