Binbi Yadubay Family Recovery

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 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.

Before entering our units, families will be able to access free support to help them get ready for residential treatment.

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.

Our friendly and professional team has a wide range of life experience and qualifications and is made up of an alcohol and drug senior practitioner, two treatment facilitators and specialist support workers. The service will be supported 24/7 with an overnight support worker available. Parents will also benefit from the expertise on site at our residential treatment program.

We can help parents access Centrelink and other government, professional and medical services if required.

We aim to provide accessible and affordable residential treatment. You will need to pay some money towards your stay, usually a portion of your Centrelink payment. The amount depends on the type of benefit or payment you receive.

For self-funded clients, contributions are based on an equivalent cost to those receiving Centrelink.

There are no additional fees or charges—what is sometimes referred to as an ‘upfront fee’ simply refers to the first two weeks of client contributions.

We understand financial situations differ, so we offer fee relief to ensure no one is denied support due to an inability to pay. If you have any questions or concerns about costs, please call our friendly Contact Team on 1300 727 957.

Finances should never be a barrier to getting help.

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 the 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.

The program is located in Parkhurst, on the same site as our withdrawal and rehabilitation services. The family units are separate from the other program areas.

We understand that choosing to participate in a live-in program with your children is a big step and you are likely to have many questions. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch to find out more. For inquiries about the program, give us a call on 1300 727 957 or send an email to [email protected].
