Identifying and understanding clients' addictive patterns and behaviours is often challenging. Addiction comes in many forms; it can be masked and difficult to recognise. Until the addictive cycle is acknowledged, it can undermine the effectiveness of various types of care and/or therapy. 

 

Dovetail delivers a range of addiction education services for health professionals, including workshops and presentations, providing training and skills for them to identify and respond more effectively to their client, irrespective of whether the client is the person suffering from the addiction, a family member, co-worker or friend.
