Lives Lived Well is pleased to be given the opportunity by the State Government to deliver an evidence-informed alcohol and drug treatment program out of a new rehabilitation recovery centre to open in Rockhampton in 2021.

On Friday 11 October we launched Lighthouse, a new community-based treatment service for young people with severe and/or complex mental health needs, at our new space in Southport. Lives Lived Well CEO Mitchell Giles and GCPHN Director of Commissioning (Programs) Libby Carr spoke at the launch.

About 45 people gathered on Friday 21 June, to help us launch the Day Rehabilitation Program in our new space in Woolloongabba. Minister for Transport and Roads, the Hon. Mark Bailey, and Lives Lived Well Chair, Damian Wright, spoke of their support for the state-funded program.

Our Mackay team is now delivering the Day Rehabilitation Program in our new service space at 123 Victoria Street, with the official program launch held on 18 June 2019. Many from the community gathered for the event to meet the team and learn more about the free and in-depth option in drug and alcohol recovery.

Many gathered on 10 June 2019 to help us launch a Day Rehabilitation Program in Toowoomba. It is the first time we have been able to offer this kind of comprehensive recovery program in the region and it has led to us doubling our service space in Neil Street.

Lives Lived Well is now consulting with the community about its plans to open a residential recovery service in Caboolture in December 2019. Construction activities will commence in June. This project has come about thanks to the support of Commonwealth funding.

Lives Lived Well has entered into a partnership with the Bila Muuji Aboriginal Corporation Health Service with the aim of working together to improve health and wellbeing outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in NSW’s west and far west region.
