NZS 8157:2003

Alcohol and Other Drug Treatment Sector Standard

This Standard specifies the minimum requirements for the provision of safe Alcohol and Other Drug Services to clients. As it is anticipated to come under the Health and Disability Services (Safety) Act 2001, it builds upon the Health and Disability Sector Standards and the National Mental Health Sector Standard, in order to provide a consistent framework.
