TREATMENT SERVICE
THE SERVICE
Rivendell is Sydney Local Health District's child, adolescent and family mental health service, housed in the heritage Thomas Walker Hospital buildings on Hospital Road, Concord West. It runs a non-acute inpatient unit for young people under 18 alongside outpatient care from about age five, with Rivendell School on site to support the return to schooling. The service takes referrals from across NSW. It publishes no alcohol or other drug treatment 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.
Medicare, 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.
