Safe, substance-free shared housing
Peer support and accountability
Continued access to therapy
Help with work or study
Our transitional housing gives you a safe, supportive home after rehab where you can continue your substance addiction recovery with structure, guidance, and a strong community around you. We consider it part of our commitment to helping our clients as best we can on their sober journey.
As with all of our rehab programs, you’ll have access to therapy, peer support, and help getting re-settled in the community — from finding work or study to developing healthy routines and planning for the long term.
We offer transitional housing to clients who have completed our 90-day inpatient rehab program at our Essendon residential facility. This program provides more time, guidance, and support before returning to full independence. If you’re feeling unsure about facing life on your own again, transitional housing offers a bridge between treatment and real-world recovery.
You’ll continue with individual therapy and group sessions, live in a stable, recovery-focused home, and receive daily support as you rebuild routines, develop life skills, and prepare for work or study. This recovery schedule helps you stay grounded while building momentum toward your goals.
Long-term success requires sustained support. Transitional housing gives you time, accountability, and a community of peers walking the same path. It’s a proven way to reduce the risk of relapse and build confidence step by step.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be supported with stable housing, continued therapy, peer support, and opportunities to re-engage with life at your own pace.
The program is built around three core stages, giving you time to stabilise, build life skills, and prepare to rejoin the world on your own terms.
Unsure where to start? Take a self-assessment or book a time to chat – both are 100% confidential.
You’ll move into a safe, supportive home designed for recovery, where you can adjust to new routines and build early momentum.
This phase focuses on rebuilding daily life, strengthening your recovery and developing practical independence.
As you gain confidence, we’ll support your transition into work, study, or volunteering, with a plan for lasting independence.
Our recovery housing stands out for its structure, transparency, and support. We offer clearer outcomes, more flexibility, and stronger integration than other providers.
This short, confidential quiz takes less than two minutes and can help you make sense of what’s going on. Choose the category that feels most relevant to you — whether it’s alcohol, drugs, mental health, or a mix of concerns — and we’ll guide you through a few simple yes/no questions.
At the end, we’ll let you know if your answers suggest it might be time to consider rehab, and share safe, confidential options for getting started.
We keep costs clear and straightforward, so you can focus on your recovery, not the paperwork or confusion.

To join the program, you’ll need to have completed rehab, be willing to stay for at least three months and be ready to take part in structured recovery support.
We have a few criteria to ensure every resident gets the right support. You’ll need to have finished an inpatient rehab or equivalent program, be ready for a 3-month commitment, and actively engage in recovery. If you're self-funding, you’ll also need to contribute to housing costs unless you’re covered by DVA or financial assistance.
Once you’re ready, our admissions team will guide you through every step, from checking your funding options to setting up your housing plan. We'll make sure the transition is as smooth and supportive as possible.
You don’t have to figure this out alone. We’ll listen, answer your questions, and help you explore whether transitional housing is the right next step in your recovery.

Our transitional housing program provides accommodation at two key locations. One is at our Essendon rehab clinic in Melbourne, offering proximity to recovery services, public transport, and employment opportunities. The other is in Ocean Grove, a peaceful coastal town where residents live in shared homes designed to support recovery in a calm and grounded setting. These environments allow clients to reintegrate into the community while remaining connected to care.
Yes. Both our Ocean Grove and Essendon sites offer separate, gender-specific housing options to ensure comfort, privacy, and a supportive environment for all residents. These shared spaces are designed to foster connection and mutual support among recovering addicts while also promoting stability and safety during this critical stage of transition.
The treatment program includes ongoing individual counselling and guidance, group therapy, recovery coaching, and relapse prevention planning. These sessions take place within a therapeutic community environment and are grounded in evidence-based approaches. Continued support after our residential rehabilitation program is critical, and our therapy offerings help reinforce healthy behaviours and reduce the long-term risk of relapse.
You’ll learn practical, confidence-building life skills like cooking, budgeting, self-care, time management, and regular living routines. These living skills help you move from recovery into independent living, with personal growth built into every part of the program. The goal is to help you build stability and learn how to work and live in a way that feels balanced and sustainable.
Our transition house facilities are fully furnished and designed to feel like home. Each property includes shared living spaces, kitchens, private or semi-private bedrooms, and access to wellness spaces for exercise and mindfulness. Residents benefit from on-site support and monitoring, ensuring safety and structure throughout their stay. These homes are purpose-built to build social connections and community.
The cost includes accommodation, access to therapy, recovery group sessions, coaching, workshops, relapse prevention training, wellness activities, and support for employment or study. Transitional living isn’t just about housing — it’s about structured recovery. Everything included in your stay is aimed at helping you rebuild confidence, develop independence, and integrate safely back into life.
Each day offers a balanced mix of structure, support, and personal development. Mornings often start with goal setting or reflection, followed by group therapy or personal tasks like job applications. Afternoons may include counselling, volunteering, or wellness activities. Evenings offer shared meals and peer support. It’s a second phase of residential treatment, one designed to help you recover while building connections and routines.
We understand that recovery looks different for everyone, and that challenges like homelessness, cultural identity, or stigma can make it harder to ask for help. That’s why we partner with trusted organisations, including the Ngwala Willumbong Aboriginal Corporation, to provide culturally appropriate support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients. We also create safe, respectful rehab spaces for all people, including LGBTQ+ individuals, seniors, pregnant mothers, and even faith-based rehab support for Christians, Muslims, Jews, and Seventh-day Adventists. As an accredited provider, we’re committed to personalised, inclusive care that honours your background, protects your dignity, and gives you a real chance to heal.
