What we treat
Addiction Types We Support
Australia's Gambling Crisis: The World's Biggest Losers
Australia has more poker machines per capita than any country except Monaco. Sports betting via apps like Sportsbet and TAB has exploded, particularly among young men. Problem gambling affects an estimated 500,000 Australians. LiveLibro's gambling programme is grounded in the frameworks used by Gambling Help Online.
Alcohol: Australia's Most Harmful Drug
Alcohol is responsible for more harm in Australia than all illicit drugs combined. Binge drinking culture, particularly in regional areas, drives high rates of alcohol use disorder. LiveLibro provides a structured, private alternative to waiting for a counsellor appointment.
Ice (Methamphetamine): Australia's Drug Crisis
Australia has one of the world's highest rates of methamphetamine use. 'Ice' (crystal meth) has devastated regional communities. LiveLibro's substances programme provides evidence-based steps aligned with Australian clinical guidelines for drug treatment.
