Part of Karralika Family Program (published by the provider as the Families Residential Program / Families Therapeutic Community)
THE SERVICE
Karralika's Family Program is a live-in therapeutic community in Canberra for single and dual parents with children up to twelve, run by the charity Karralika Programs Incorporated. Parents follow the full therapeutic community day of groups, counselling and community work while children attend childcare or school, with evenings and weekends kept for family time, parenting work and play therapy. Stays generally run three to six months. No detox is provided, so applicants must be withdrawn before entry.
Published as not offered here: detox / withdrawal management.
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.

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.
