Post-rehab transitional housing program

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.
