PRIVATE RESIDENTIAL CARE
THE SERVICE
Bayside Transformations is a Christian faith-supported residential therapeutic community at Hervey Bay, run by the charity Bayside Transformations Limited as the local campus of Transformations Program Australia. It takes adults 18 and over with drug and alcohol dependence into separate men's and women's houses, 25 men and 10 women, for a minimum of twelve months across four stages. The peer-led program combines individual counselling, group therapy, case management, psychoeducation and work therapy. Entry requires seven days clean and a clean urine test.
Published as not offered here: detox / withdrawal management.
Ask the admissions team how withdrawal would be handled and how a transfer into treatment works.
CARE & DAILY LIFE
Ask about staff qualifications, medication policy, accessibility and any specific support needs before you decide. Almost no service in this directory publishes what it will and will not admit.
COST
We hold what this service publishes, and we do not put a price at the top of a profile for the public to sort on. The cheapest service on a page is rarely the right one for a particular person, and a quote that comes with the conversation about what is included is worth more than a band. Professional referrers see the figures in their workspace.

AFTER THE STAY
Details of ongoing support are not published here. Ask the service what support is available when your treatment ends.
PROFESSIONAL ENDORSEMENTS
Endorsements come from registered professionals — psychologists, addiction GPs, lawyers, social workers — who have referred someone here and put their name to what happened. None yet does not mean poor ones: it means nobody has written one.
