The Sunrise Way is a non-government community organisation working to establish a Therapeutic Community in Toowoomba. The organisation is planning to use a model of treatment encompassing short-term assessment, referral and rehabilitation for individuals committed to recovery from alcohol and other drug dependency.
The Therapeutic
Community model is composed of diverse individuals who choose to belong.
The program is long term and residents will progress through the various
phases of treatment and responsibility at their own pace and according
to individual needs and abilities.
The Therapeutic Community model of treatment develops a sense of belonging,
within a warm, family environment. The model of treatment establishes
the structure, support and continuity necessary for the healthy growth,
change, development and recovery of each individual resident.
Sunrise Way residents will be assigned daily tasks within the facility,
engage in vocational projects, and structured recreational activities.
People who
are:
Eighteen years of age or over
Have a history of substance abuse
Medically suited to the program
Willing to accept an abstinent treatment program
Agree voluntarily to the rules and regulations of Sunrise Way.
