Who we are
CareNZ supports anyone concerned about their own or someone else’s use of alcohol or other drugs.
We provide a range of services throughout the country, in both the community and prison settings.
We currently operate Community Services in Counties Manukau, the Waikato Region, Greater Wellington and Christchurch. Here you can access a variety of services, from assessment and individual counselling to group work and whanau support.
In addition, we are operating eight Drug Treatment Units (DTUs) in prisons around the country, in conjunction with the Department of Corrections. These programmes offer prisoners the opportunity to address their drug and alcohol issues while serving their sentence, and offer them a pathway to sustainable life changes after their release.
For offenders in the community or those who have been released from prison, we offer support through our Out of Gate Settlement Service and Single Point of Entry triage service.
What we do
At CareNZ, we offer people with addiction – and those who love them – a wide range of services and interventions to make significant changes in their lives.
Don’t be afraid to take the first step and make contact with us – it can make all the difference.
Everything we do will be tailored to your own situation – we recognise that everyone’s different.
We are here for all people, regardless of culture, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, faith, disability, financial situation or education.
Our counselling and group work services in the community and in prisons are free of charge. (Charges may apply for some services. Learn more)
We will work alongside you to find a solution that fits your individual needs. We’ll also work with those who are close to you, and we recognise the importance of whanau in the process of recovery and community re-integration.
