Home About AOD

Welcome to the AOD Provider Collaborative 

From 2009-2020 we brought together alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment organisations and related services that worked in Counties Manukau.

We planned and implemented systems-level projects designed to improve services and outcomes for people living in Counties Manukau.

While we are not currently operating, you are welcome to browse through our site for the information, research and resources that we developed to support services in Counties Manukau.

The AOD Provider Collaborative is a group of passionate professionals and managers working in alcohol and other drug (AOD) services, who have come together to improve the system which supports people in alcohol and drug recovery.
