S-Check is a free health check-up for people who use Stimulants: methamphetamine, cocaine, ecstasy.
The clinic is a hospital outpatient clinic providing Bio-Psycho-Social assessments, information and referrals for people who use stimulants including crystal, base, ice, meth, cocaine or ecstasy.
The Stimulant Check up is a comprehensive health check where people can explore the impacts of their stimulant use on their health and day to day functioning. The clinic is free of charge and available for people who use stimulants and who are not particularly seeking drug treatment and who have some concerns or questions around their use of substances.
Through the assessments, people recognise and identify transitions in drug use, including transitions to injecting. This helps people to make informed choices around the level, intensity and impact of their drug use and issues of concern.
The Clinic:
• Operates from Monday to Friday, between 8.30am and 5.00pm.
• Is specifically designed for those who have concerns about the effect their use of stimulants is having on their physical, mental and/or emotional and social health.
• Provides thorough assessments for physical health, psychological health and social effects of stimulant use
• Provides patients with information and education on ways to reduce the harms associated with their use of stimulants and other drugs.
• Provides patients with referrals to appropriate services such as sexual health clinics, General Practitioners, counsellors, psychologists, mental health services and drug and alcohol treatment agencies, as required.
Patients are offered two x 2 hour consultations. The first for the assessments and at the second, patients are given a full report outlining recommendations for further actions and a take home care plan.
We recommend further appointments for check up at 3, 6 or 12 month intervals.
