Alcohol & Drug Services
HDANZ has been approved by the New Zealand Alcohol and Drug Accreditation Board to audit and certify alcohol and drug services to NZS 8157:2003 - Alcohol and Other Drug Treatment Sector Standards.
This allows Alcohol and Drug services that are not required to be audited under the Health and Disability Services (Safety) Act 2001 to be audited against a specific alcohol and drug standard. It also allows services that come under the Act to be audited to an additional standard if they wish and we are able to provide this in an integrated manner so that both requirements are achieved.
This New Zealand Standard is presented in six sections:
- Client/tangata whai ora rights
- Organisational management
- Client/tangata whai ora engagement
- Service delivery
- Managing service delivery
- Safe and appropriate environment
