The East Kimberley's Wunan Foundation is set to deliver a first-of-its-kind Aboriginal community-controlled low medical withdrawal service.

The service, which will be delivered in Kununurra, will see Wunan become the first Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisation (ACCO) to deliver such a service in Western Australia.

The service will provide the local Kimberley community with a safe place to withdraw from alcohol and other drugs, and stabilise before receiving further treatment.

Kimberley MLA and proud Yawuru, Nimanburr and Bardi woman, Divina D'Anna said the service will address the needs of the local Kununurra community.

"Specialist alcohol and other drug community treatment services in rural and regional areas are essential to support the needs of local communities," Ms D'Anna said.

"This unique service will provide treatment options to support people with alcohol and other drug problems in Kununurra."

The establishment of the low medical withdrawal service in Kununurra will address an existing gap in services in the Kimberley, as identified in the Western Australian Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drug Services Plan 2015-2025.

Western Australian Health Minister, Amber-Jade Sanderson, said engaging Wunan to deliver the first-of-its-kind service will support people in Kununurra and throughout the Easy Kimberley in recovering from substance abuse.

"A safe, culturally appropriate and secure place to receive treatment is vital to support people's recovery from issues with alcohol and other drugs, and their mental health," Ms Sanderson said.

The service will also provide treatment options to support people experiencing co-occurring issues with alcohol and other drugs, and mental health.

For mental health, alcohol and other drug support and information call 'Here For You' on 1800here4u (1800 437 348) from 7am to 10pm, 7 days a week.
