CRS provides a three-month residential rehabilitation recovery program for people with AOD and/or gambling dependencies group program and aftercare support.
The group-based component of treatment is based on The Salvation Army’s ‘Foundations Program’, which is a three-phased 12-week program aimed at helping participants better understand and manage substance use, find community, meaning and independence. The program is based on contemporary, internationally recognised methods, such as cognitive behaviour therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and motivational enhancement strategies.
An essential part of the recovery journey is in forming relationships, feeling a sense of belonging and having a routine. We have a program timetable that schedules daily groups and other wellbeing and community participation activities to support life balance and independent living skills.
Canberra AOD Services aims to provide opportunities for participants to further strengthen their connection to community, practice recovery skills and engage in peer recovery and social activities offsite as participants progress through the program.
