TREATMENT SERVICE
THE SERVICE
A live-in alcohol and other drug rehabilitation program on Gumbaynggirr Country at Coffs Harbour, run by Lives Lived Well for young people aged 13 to 18 who live in NSW and have had contact with the youth justice system. The program runs 12 weeks with 24/7 staff support, psychoeducation, group counselling, one-to-one therapy and tailored work on wellbeing and life skills. Young people entering from community complete a one-week detox first, and everyone receives 12 weeks of aftercare.
Published as not offered here: detox / withdrawal management, outpatient / day program.
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.
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.
