TREATMENT SERVICE
THE SERVICE
Cape York Family Centre is a residential alcohol and other drug rehabilitation service at Cooktown run by Pinangba, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-led arm of UnitingCare, under the BlueCare brand. It admits whole family units, adults and children together, from the Cape York communities of Aurukun, Coen, Hopevale, Mossman Gorge, Wujal Wujal and Laura and the local Cook area. The four to six month program uses a modified Systemic Family Therapy Framework with compulsory daily sessions, withdrawal management, counselling, case management, parenting and cultural activities. Children attend school or childcare.
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.
Client contribution, Commonwealth 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.
