In reply to the Hon. C. BONAROS ().20 March 2025).

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State): The Minister for Health and Wellbeing has advised:

The Malinauskas Labor government is continuing with its $25.1 million investment to deliver more drug and alcohol rehabilitation and detox services.

This includes:

12 extra rehabilitation beds in metropolitan Adelaide—operational and located in Glenelg.

four extra rehabilitation beds in Port Augusta—operational.

Six extra rehabilitation beds in Mount Gambier, which is two more than the original commitment—operational.

$4.6 million to fit-out and operate two dedicated drug and alcohol detox beds in the Mount Gambier Hospital—under construction.

The location for a 12-bed purpose-built residential rehabilitation unit is now locked in for the northern suburbs. Land has been secured near the corner of Phillip Highway and John Rice Avenue in Elizabeth Vale, near other health services.

Since the new rehabilitation beds have opened in Mount Gambier, Glenelg, and Port Augusta, 35 people have received specialised care provided over an intensive three-to-six-month period.
