ARTM -OUR VISION & MISSION
Vision
ARTM aims to be recognised locally and regionally as the leading AOD organisation that promotes and provides the Therapeutic Community (TC) Model of Care of the highest standard.
Mission
Our mission is to foster personal growth within an Alcohol and Other Drugs therapeutic programs, incorporating harm minimisation and co-existing mental health initiatives philosophy.
ARTM believes that the understanding of harmful substance dependence (including alcohol & gambling) and the treatment of people with problems related to harmful substance dependence can be greatly enhanced by involvement and interaction with people who have lived through the experience.
In this way, ARTM supports and adopts a self-help approach, which is based on peer support within the therapeutic community method of treatment.
By providing clients with the necessary skills to help themselves and each other, the “We” principle comes into being for the entire community, a sense of being part of a community is established or re-established.
