"Residential experience"

About: Lives Lived Well - Caboolture

(as a service user),

Before I entered the Wunya Residence for alcohol abuse, I wasn't sure what to expect. I'd heard and seen the negative stigma/stereotypes about rehab in the movies and from old institutionalised models of rehab and care.

Wunya and, Janelle as my treatment facilitator, has been a revelation with regard to my recovery. The 6 weeks of holistic treatment for addiction have been individualised, educational and practical in terms of strategies, as well as safe and supportive across the board. A great facility with a great team helped me recover so that I can be re-entered the world as the best version of myself. With the support and safeguards in place from their team, I feel any lapse or re-lapse happening is minimised. I wanted to stress how incredible I found the work that is being done there is.

Learning to let go of trauma, understand how my brain works and really heal from a self-compassionate perspective. Helping us unlearn destructive mental conditioning and re-learn self-care and compassion has transformed my life and my relationship with drugs and alcohol. I highly recommend Lives Lived Well organisation, Janelle and the Wunya Residential team.

Dear tucanakb58,

Thank you for taking the time to let us know how Wunya and your treatment facilitator Janelle helped you change your relationship with substances and 'rehabilitation' services!

It's great that you were able to learn so much at Wunya in a safe and supportive environment. Take what you have learnt and continue to be the best version of yourself.

Your journey is just beginning, keep up the good work, reflect regularly on what you learnt while in program, and always be kind to yourself. Reach out if you need additional support on 1300 727 957.

Regards,

Lara
