TREATMENT SERVICE
THE SERVICE
Residential rehabilitation for young men and women aged 16 to 24 with alcohol and other drug problems, run by Mission Australia on a farm property in the NSW Southern Highlands. The program runs up to 12 weeks and combines individual, group and family counselling with case management, accredited vocational training in areas such as hospitality and creative arts, life skills, and sport and recreation. Up to six months of aftercare follows. It specialises in young people with co-occurring mental illness.
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.

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.
