Recovery

Are you or someone you know ready to make a change? Rehab is a chance at a fresh start, where you will be surrounded by people who not only understand your addiction but who are committed to seeing you recover.

The Normanton Recovery and Community Wellbeing Service (NRCWS) offers a range of treatment programs for people struggling with addiction, helping them live a sober, healthy and happy lifestyle. Our services are designed to align with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander concepts of social and emotional wellbeing and provide a holistic approach to individual’s needs and priorities.

Our team

We believe that recovery should be client-focused and tailored to individual needs. Our team is dedicated to delivering practical treatment options that enable clients to reach achievable goals, with a positive and culturally safe approach to health and wellbeing.

Services

Personal Wellbeing

As well as providing Alcohol and Other Drug interventions, we also focus on mental and physical health and wellbeing, preventative primary health care, chronic disease self-management, as well as dealing with grief, loss and trauma.

Social and Family Wellbeing

Social and family wellbeing support is designed to address individual needs, strengthen relationships and educate family members on how best to support recovery. We place an emphasis on family relationships and responsibilities, peer group pressures and domestic violence.

Healthy Lifestyle Choices 

We help to develop practical life skills, healthy daily routines and structures, while also focusing on financial and household management, and use of leisure time.

Community Connection

As human beings, we all need a sense of belonging. That’s why connecting with community is such an important part of recovery. Our program develops ways for clients to make a valued contribution to the local community and to regain a sense of self-worth.

Connection with Country

Cultural healing, tradition, language and spirituality are at the heart of our recovery program. Clients are encouraged and supported to strengthen their relationships with country and culture.

Education and Employment

To prepare for life after addiction, we provide skills development, work readiness and paid employment opportunities. This offers real hope for long term recovery and a healthy, happy life.
