"Lives Lived Well, Woolloongabba"

I recently completed the 3-4 week Lives Lived Well AOD recovery day program at Woolloongabba, Brisbane.

Last year I attended a similar program run by a similar service in Melbourne. It was excellent and it helped me a lot in recovery from alcohol addiction but recently needed some further support when I moved to Brisbane.

I would like to give the highest recommendation to this day program. I believe the facilitators/counsellors are highly trained, experienced and knowledgeable. Most importantly, they are very caring and totally non-judgemental.  

In my opinion, if a person was considering whether to do this program or not, do not hesitate. I believe you will be warmly welcomed and treated with great respect, care and confidentiality, no matter your age,  substance of choice, past history or current life situation.

I believe you will learn a lot in the group sessions (and even have a bit of fun). I found the learning to be very practical and offers us many skills and strategies and our individual needs can be met by one-on-one sessions with a counsellor/ case manager.  

I watched my fellow participants develop much confidence and change in positive ways and I loved the interaction with them. My self-esteem was really boosted. I think if we feel stronger and better about ourselves, we are more likely to create new habits and move ahead in our lives.  Even though I had done a similar course before, I still learned a lot more again, from this experience.
