TREATMENT SERVICE
THE SERVICE
A voluntary therapeutic community for adult men held at the Alexander Maconochie Centre, run by Karralika Programs in partnership with ACT Corrective Services. Men who identify as having alcohol or other drug dependency move through readiness, treatment and graduate phases, with one-to-one case management, groupwork, peer support, creative therapies, literacy and life-skills work, health programs and Centrelink linkage. Outreach support continues for up to six months after completion. Referral is made through a Sentence Management Officer.
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.
Not published. Ask before you assume any route is available to you.
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.
