TREATMENT SERVICE
THE SERVICE
Centacare North Queensland is the social services agency of the Catholic Diocese of Townsville, working from 410 Ross River Road, Cranbrook and centres at Mount Isa, Bowen, Cloncurry and Normanton. The Townsville centre delivers counselling, family support, mediation, disability and youth services. Its only addiction-related program is Gambling Help, which counsels people with harmful gambling behaviours and their partners, families and friends. No alcohol or other drug treatment is published.
Published as not offered here: residential rehabilitation.
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.
NDIS
ONGOING SUPPORT
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.
