Welcome message from the director

Aranda House is a 20 bed residential service with spacious grounds and we also offer an eight week program for Volatile Substance Misusers.

Each client coming through our doors has a thorough assessment to look at their achievable goals and assigned to a counsellor. The program is loosely based on a therapeutic community model where clients are actively involved in their own personal recovery in a supportive and caring environment.

After clients have been discharged from Aranda House we offer an aftercare service. The guiding principle of all DASA programs is to recognize the sovereignty of the individual and their right to self determination and decision making, but also recognizing the responsibility of society to provide an environment where personal development towards a better lifestyle is supported and valued.

For over three years now we have been running the Outreach Program which is an intervention and referral program based on the further case management of the relationships established in the Sobering-Up Shelter and other services between staff and clients. These clients are encouraged to have further professional interventions to break the cycle of addiction.
