Logan House
Logan House is a 36 bed residential drug rehabilitation facility situated in a picturesque semi rural setting on the banks of the Logan River, midway between Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
Logan
House operates as a Therapeutic Community and offers a comprehensive recovery
oriented experience for persons grappling with a severe alcohol or other drug
related problem. Our goal is to support
people to make health enhancing
behaviour and lifestyle changes – including, but not limited to, their drug use.
The
recommended length of stay is approximately six months but a shorter program
may be negotiated for those with specific needs.
Throughout
their stay residents participate fully in the day to day activities of community
living – including cooking, cleaning, maintenance etc. Issues that emerge within the community are
addressed and resolved by the community.
We
believe that this extended immersion and engagement in the community process -
responding to it’s challenges and harvesting it’s learnings - provides a
powerful recovery experience.
Staff
facilitate the delivery of a range of proven recovery based activities
including case management, individual counseling, group work, health education,
mindfulness and life-skill development. All
activities have a strong emphasis on relapse prevention.
Residents
are encouraged and assisted to explore and develop community based support
networks including Alcoholics Anonymous
and/or Narcotics Anonymous during their admission.
A
specialist parenting program provides
intensive support for residents who are experiencing significant challenges in
this area.
While
contact with children and other immediate family members is actively encouraged
at all times, phone calls are limited for the first ten days and leave from the
program does not generally occur during the first ten weeks.
Residents
who have completed the program can remain connected with Logan House in a
volunteering or purely social capacity.
Those wishing more formal support can access the services of our Continuing Care
Coordinator.
To
be considered for admission to Logan House you will need to be over 18 years of
age and undertake an initial telephone assessment – this can be arranged by phoning (07) 55463900 during business hours.
Enquiries
from persons with a mental health condition or disability is encouraged.
