The four existing hospital‐based drug and alcohol units in New South Wales at Royal Prince Alfred, St Vincent's, Westmead and Newcastle are reviewed in terms of staffing, services offered, clientele outcomes and management practices. It is concluded that the basic premises under which the units were set up have been confirmed. Improved and standardised data collection is recommended.
