Services
Addiction Recovery Programs
Our evidence-based recovery programs address substance use disorders through personalised treatment plans. Services include outpatient therapy, residential care, and aftercare support. We combine medical, psychological, and social interventions to promote long-term recovery and reintegration into communities.
Residential Treatment
The 26-week residential program provides structured recovery support in a therapeutic environment. Patients receive round-the-clock care, group therapy sessions, and life skills training to address addiction's physical and psychological aspects while preparing for reintegration into society.
Mental Health Support
Specialist mental health services address co-occurring disorders alongside addiction treatment. Our psychologists and counsellors use evidence-based therapies to manage anxiety, depression, and trauma, ensuring comprehensive care for patients' emotional wellbeing during recovery.
Detoxification Support
Short-term accommodation and clinical support for detoxification processes. This service provides safe withdrawal management under professional supervision, serving as a critical first step before entering longer-term residential or outpatient recovery programs.
Community Outreach
We deliver addiction awareness programs and resources to communities, families, and healthcare providers. These initiatives aim to reduce stigma, improve early intervention, and strengthen community capacity to support individuals affected by substance use disorders.

Worst place to go for treatment.if you don't get the naltrexone implant that they hound you to get instead of other options like methadone and suboxone..save yourself the time and money and avoid the place.

Fantastic field staff, supportive and put up with a lot of grief, i found the implant did nothing to stop cravings, it was more the supportive environment that I was in whilst in the residential facility at York Street, and once I was exited from York Street as I did not want to progress to their Northam facility or have additional implants 2 or 3 months later after the first one, I fell back straight back into alcoholism and now I also enjoy methamphetamine - Because the guys at the residential facility were so great I gave the facility them use of all my garden maintenance and lawn mowing mechanical
