Receive care for alcohol and drug concerns, while staying together with your family.
When parents have concerns with alcohol or drugs, it can be tough to find support and manage the needs of young children too.
At Logan Family Recovery, parents are welcome to come and stay with their young children and participate in a residential treatment program within a quiet, rural setting.
We will work with you to reduce the harms associated with alcohol and drug use and help support positive change for you and your family.
All photos on this page are of the Logan House Family Recovery Units, located at the front of the Logan House property. Residents staying at Logan House are in different accommodation facilities towards the rear of the site.
Our friendly and professional team has a wide range of life experience and qualifications, including a Clinical Lead, Treatment Facilitators and Specialist Support Workers. Logan Family Recovery offers 24/7 support, with an overnight support worker available who works at our Logan House program, co-located on the same site.

Admission and referrals
You don’t need a GP referral. You can self-refer through our website here. If you have limited access to the internet or would prefer to speak to us to request a referral, please phone our Contact Team on 1300 727 957.
We also accept online provider referrals from other health professionals, services and community and government organisations or they can fax referrals to 07 5546 8223.
Admission timeframes vary. Be assured, you will be supported by our Pre-Treatment Team until you can be admitted into our live-in service. Once your referral is received, your support begins.
How much does it cost?
We aim to provide accessible and affordable residential treatment. You are required to pay some money towards your stay, usually a portion of your Centrelink payment. The amount depends on the type of payment or benefit you receive. If self-funding (not receiving Centrelink benefits), you will be required to pay for your full six-week cycle treatment in advance, which is currently $2070 for people 21 and under, and $2220 for people 22 and over.
There is also an upfront admission fee of $690 for people 21 and under, and $740 for people 22 and over (this fee includes your first two weeks of treatment and a medication levy).
How long is the program?
The Logan Family Recovery live-in program is delivered over a three-month period, in two six-week cycles. You can receive support from the moment you contact us, until you are fully settled back into the community through our Continuing Care program.
You can also access our services before, during and after your stay.
More FAQs about Logan Family Recovery Units
Logan Family Recovery works with two local daycare centres near its facility. Once you express interest in our program, the pre- and post-treatment team will provide information to help you contact these centres and arrange a smooth transition for your child into daycare before treatment begins.
Parents are fully responsible for their child while attending Logan Family Recovery, so having support networks in place—such as daycare or family assistance—is essential. The program includes structured time to support parent-child bonding outside of the daily psychoeducation sessions.
As some sessions occur across both Logan House and Logan Family Recovery, parents must ensure their child is enrolled in daycare within the first week of treatment. If your child is of primary school age, school arrangements must be made prior to starting the program. If your child attends a nearby school, we can assist with transportation in the morning and afternoon to support parents in picking up and dropping off their child.
The program supports parents with children under the age of 10. Units can accommodate parents with two children, though families with three children can be considered on a needs’ basis. The program also supports parents who may not have full custody of their child but are actively working on a reunification plan. This could involve a parent entering treatment while maintaining frequent visitation with their child. We also accept joint family applications for treatment; however, these must be supported by Child Safety to ensure the wellbeing of the family unit and child.
Before entering our units, families will be able to access free support from other Lives Lived Well services, to help them get ready for residential treatment.
The Logan Family Recovery Units are not a detoxification facility. People come to our program drug-free (other than prescribed medications) and alcohol-free. Many residents will have had to participate in a detox program provided by another service before they will be accepted into our program. If you need help to find a detox service, please reach out to our pre-and-post team, who can help you.
Families will be welcomed and settled in. Parents will meet their treatment facilitator who will seek to understand their needs and treatment goals and will work with them throughout their program in recovery. Children will be provided appropriate supervised care and will have access to play equipment.
The Logan Family Recovery live-in program is delivered over a three-month period, in six-week cycles. The program will provide:
- specialist support to help take the stress out of entering and leaving the program
- alcohol and drug counselling, using the latest research in recovery treatment
- a safe, drug, alcohol and smoking-free environment, with nicotine replacement therapy offered
- parenting and relationship support
- a focus on health and wellness including support around food and nutrition.
Parents will also benefit from the skills and experience on site. We can help parents access Centrelink and other government, professional and medical services if required.
Families will be provided with free support to help with a smooth transition back into the community after completing the program, including access to ongoing free community counselling.
Logan Family Recovery is located on the same site as Logan House, a long standing alcohol and drug rehabilitation centre, which provides support to the family program. Logan House is situated midway between Brisbane and the Gold Coast at 75 Kirk Road, Chambers Flat.
During your stay, you’ll have scheduled access to your mobile phone in dedicated sessions, at which time you can call other family members. You can also send and receive letters. Phone messages can be left at reception for you.
As you progress through the program, you will earn privileges for weekly day leave. These leave requests must align with your treatment goals. All leave requests must be submitted to the clinical team in writing for assessment weekly.
