The St Vincent’s S-Check Model of Care provides guidance and tools for community-based specialist and non-specialist services to implement a low-threshold brief intervention for people who use methamphetamine and other stimulants and who are not yet receiving treatment. Implemented broadly, the Model has the potential to increase reach of interventions and promote earlier treatment seeking.
The model of care has since been translated into the Stimulant Check-In Clinic at St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney. The clinic is a stimulant-specific brief intervention program designed to enhance engagement and foster harm reduction in those not accessing traditional drug and alcohol services.
