Following a renovation in 2024, Watershed is now open and ready to provide you with a safe and comfortable environment designed for healing and growth.
Our six-week residential program is designed to help you overcome substance use challenges and build a foundation for lasting recovery. Developed by experts, it includes case management and a personalised treatment/early intervention plan.
Watershed is dedicated to empowering clients on their journey to recovery, providing support and supervision for those who have completed detox (either at Watershed or another facility). Here, you’ll receive one-on-one counselling to set your own goals, ask questions, and shape your treatment.
You’ll also be encouraged to participate in community living and take on daily tasks and responsibilities. Here you can learn life skills, build confidence, and gain insight into how you can relate to others… always in a supportive environment.
We believe that you are the ultimate decision-maker in your journey, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
