The NSW Health Award winning Alcohol and Drug Cognitive Enhancement (ACE) program is a ground-breaking intervention for people who are seeking treatment for their alcohol and drug use:
- the program’s tools and resources allow clinicians to screen for and help improve a client’s brain function
- improved brain function can help clients with things such as memory, planning, decision making and managing emotions
- this can greatly increase the likelihood of remaining in, and benefiting from, treatment.
The ACE program is a collaboration between the Agency for Clinical Innovation’s Drug and Alcohol Network, Advanced Neuropsychological Treatment Services and We Help Ourselves.
Use these communications assets, for health professionals and for people seeking treatment, on your channels to increase awareness of the program.
