DRUG AND ALCOHOL RESIDENTIAL REHABILITATION

PROGRAM OVERVIEW RESIDENTIAL CARE

Each resident is allocated an individual Case Worker providing regular case management and care coordination. To support integrated treatment, Sunrise Way maintains formal linkages with partner agencies, providing access to medical services, in-house psychologists, a visiting psychiatric registrar and other services addressing residents’ co-occurring needs.

Sunrise Way recognises engagement with broader support networks strengthens social inclusion as residents transition into the community. Residents are supported to access peer-based mutual support, including 12-step fellowships (Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous).

Sunrise Way delivers a holistic, evidence-informed program with daily activities supporting residents’ physical health, social and emotional wellbeing, and building strong, supportive relationships. Structured activities include sport, mindfulness groups and creative and therapeutic groups, contributing to reduced psychological distress and improved quality of life.

AFTER CARE PROGRAM

The After Care program provides ongoing counselling, case management and support upon the completion of the residential program. With a focus on ensuring graduates exit the program into our transition housing, engaged in some type of purposeful activity (work, training / education or volunteering) and an ongoing healthy lifestyle.

Healthy relationships are an important aspect of a healthy and balanced lifestyle. We encourage residents to develop strong support networks which may include 12-step fellowships (Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous), church groups, sporting teams, book clubs and other social networks.

Upon completion of the residential program, graduates can apply for entry into After Care accommodation. This accommodation provides safe re-entry into the community with housemates who share recovery-oriented goals.

FAMILY SUPPORT GROUP

The Family Support Group is available to anyone with a loved one experiencing addiction. The group meets weekly. The primary focus is offering support. Along with this is the provision of information to assist loved ones in their journey and to better understand the effects of addiction. Attendees have provided very positive feedback about the groups, identifying this forum as a safe and secure place to share experiences and assist one another.

TESTIMONIALS

Jenny, Program Completion, 2020

"The first thing I learnt was that I wasn’t alone. I felt so alone while drinking. That question of ‘why don’t you just stop’ was answered. I drank to cope with feelings I couldn’t put a name to. It was my only way of dealing. I have learnt new, healthy ways.

I had low self esteem, no self worth to speak of from years of feeling judged. That I wasn’t good enough - My marriage was failing and it was all my fault. I was wrong. I am enough as I am. The understanding of what I can and can’t control and how to let go of the things I can’t. That living up to my values gives me so much honesty and strength in myself"

“Sunrise Way provided me everything I needed to change my life around after years of narcotics abuse, anxiety, and PTSD.

The regular psychology and counselling sessions gave me space to work through my trauma, my thoughts, and my emotions. The program educated me to such a degree that I was able to grow into a more self-aware person and to realise my worth, my qualities and my potential.

After successful completion of the program, I went on to become an award-winning student, a support worker, and volunteer for several organisations. I am thrilled with the success I enjoy today, thanks to my efforts to make the most of the Sunrise Way program.”

“The impact Sunrise Way has had on me is hard to explain in words, however I can say my values and beliefs are strong, my love for life is positive, the connections I have made are lifelong and my gratitude for everything I have been given is the greatest gift.

If you are considering Sunrise Way, I say “do it”! Give yourself a break, learn to love life, love yourself and best of all have a life without drugs and alcohol.

Thank you Sunrise Way – the most positive choice I have made in my life’s journey"

Justin, Program Completion, 2018

“Sunrise Way rehab absolutely changed my life! It taught me a range of skills that I now apply in my every day life. I learnt things about myself that I didn’t know before. Just in general I learnt a better way to live. I really have changed phenomenally. I barely recognise the man I am today. To be honest, it’s just amazing!

To those people who are struggling or having a hard time. If you want to recover, if you want to change your life, dedicate yourself 100% and do it because it is possible. I’m walking breathing proof. I’m healthy, I’m happy and I have the capacity to make the right decisions in my life now. None of that would have been possible if it wasn’t for Sunrise Way. Thank you”
