THE SERVICE
Canberra Recovery Services is a Salvation Army residential rehabilitation centre in Fyshwick for people aged over 18 with alcohol, other drug or gambling dependence. Residents must have completed withdrawal before entry. The three-month Foundations Program runs as three four-week phases, Connect, Grow and Live, using cognitive behaviour therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and motivational approaches, with case management, peer mentors and aftercare. The Salvation Army also runs a Braddon day program and transitional housing.

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.
Self funded, State funded
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.
