This program is for the individual who is desperate to become free of the slavery of drugs, and who has the guts to bulldoze addiction with determination and the help of a therapist, whilst living in their own environment.The program is based on therapeutic relationship, leading to psychotherapy and the discovery of the cause of the addiction. This is not a brief intervention, nor do we minimise drug use or problematic alcohol use.We do, however, offer a non-judgemental atmosphere for personal growth, combined with 15 years experience of helping individuals to achieve a long term drug free solution, leading to a fulfilling and abundant life.

Going to an AA meeting is simple. You find out where and when there is a meeting convenient for you and you just turn up. That's it. There's no signing in, no money to pay, no appointment to make. There are no intrusive questions, no obligations. Your privacy and anonymity will be respected. You'll never be met with a demand to come back to any meeting or indeed to AA. You can go to different meetings as often or as little as you wish.

Many of us had no idea what to expect of our first meeting. For some of us the idea was quite scary, so we were greatly relieved to find that our fears were groundless. AA meetings are relaxed, friendly and open. To find a meeting in your area visit http://www.aa.org.au/findameeting/or call 1300 222 222
