TREATMENT SERVICE
THE SERVICE
Yitjawudik is a 24-hour residential rehabilitation centre for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men aged 18 and over with alcohol or drug dependency. It sits on a 68-acre property at Toolamba in central Victoria, between Shepparton and Mooroopna, and takes referrals from across the state. The provider states the centre accommodates up to 12 men at a time and that the program runs for 16 weeks, which may be extended depending on individual needs. The program combines cultural knowledge, holistic alcohol and other drug treatment and the Twelve Step model, and includes individual and group counselling, narrative therapy, relapse prevention, on-Country visits, yarning circles and case management. Ngwala states there is a small cost to stay but does not publish the amount, and gives a typical wait of one to three months.
Ask the admissions team how withdrawal would be handled and how a transfer into treatment works.
CARE & DAILY LIFE
Nothing about treatment has been published for this service yet.
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.
