THE SERVICE
About Glebe House
Glebe House is a seven-bed men's therapeutic community in two heritage-listed Victorian terraces in Glebe, inner Sydney, running since 1974 and at this address since 1993. It takes men with substance dependence, gambling, dual diagnosis and complex trauma, about half referred straight from custody. The twelve-week residential program combines case management, psychological counselling, psycho-educational and life-skills groups, yoga, Pilates and ceramics with two daily 12-Step meetings, followed by open-ended free aftercare and supported housing.

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.
