THE SERVICE
This is the residential rehabilitation program run by Wayback Committee Ltd, listed by NSW Health among its funded withdrawal and residential rehabilitation services as long-term supported residential care. Adult clients live in furnished houses across Western Sydney rather than in an institution, receiving individual counselling, group sessions and living skills support from counsellors, social workers and welfare workers. Both abstinence and harm minimisation pathways are offered, including methadone and buprenorphine.
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.
