- Withheld by the service. It is in Port Augusta, SA. The full address is given to you when you are admitted.
- Map
- Approximate only. The shaded area is centred on Port Augusta, SA — it marks the district, not a building.
Withholding the address is common for residential rehab and is usually about the privacy of the people staying there, not secrecy about the service. Ask the provider how far it is from you and what travel they arrange.

COST
What a stay costs here.
Ask the service for their current figure.
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.
