Rehabilitating in their shared houses

In this program, you live in a shared house as you work on your treatment plan. This involves weekly counselling sessions on your own and in a group. The program is based on a five-month stay, but this is flexible.

There is no wait list or a need to phone in. If the residential program is full, they can offer group support and counselling until a place becomes available.

This program is for people aged 21 and over. 

Home detox and day program

If you are in the Limestone Coast area, you can access detox services while you stay in your home. You will receive medical and therapeutic support from GPs, nurses and counsellors.

You can also choose to do a day program known as ‘Continuum of Care’. Treatment involves group and individual counselling, and is tailored to best suit what you need. 

Counselling

Even if you’re not part of one of their rehabilitation programs, you can attend counselling. You can come to counselling sessions on your own or join a group. These can help you to understand and change your use of alcohol and other drugs.
