Refocus Drug & Alcohol Rehab Melbourne

I arrived at refocus 10 months ago having lost everything and in desperate need for help. I tried numerous other solutions, but couldn't stop.
Over the 3 month period, Refocus taught me how to live. With the guidance and support from the counselors and staff I now have my life back and am an asset to my family and the community as a whole. I can't speak highly enough or express my gratitude for my new found piece of mind. Thank you

This place changed my way of living, I got an awareness here about the patterns that ruled my behaviours in my life. The best counselling I’ve received, after five years of seeing counsellors elsewhere. The residents in the community help each other through it all. If I needed somthing someone would put there hand up no matter what. It’s a fantastic program. I will never forget it!

Refocus was amazing. The help from the staff and community was 5/5. I received overwhelming love and laughter from the community. It was a great 28 days and restart of my healthy and clean life, if anyone is wanting to start clean and free life I highly recommend you do that at refocus.

When I first took my relative to refocus I felt hopeful, optimistic and terrified. I wanted recovery for so badly for him and so did he but I didn’t know if he could do it, but with the staff support and knowledgeable insightful no b/S approach making all residents accountable yet held with loving hands so to speak he emerged a different person, now a decade later the “normal” successful life he has with his wife, children, a great job and continuing NA meetings our family is so happy and relieved, I can’t thank you enough.

Refocus has not only been a life changing experience for me, it’s been life saving. The diverse team of counsellors and support staff at Refocus provide a dynamic, inclusive, therapeutic program of recovery and provides a safe, supportive environment for self exploration, personal development and healing which has given me the life skills, coping tools and self discovery that has allowed me begin living a life beyond anything I could have imagined.

Most incredible life changing experience I have had. There are amazing staff with so much support and love. It has a great theraputic community feel and I have changed and grown into the person I always wished to be.
I highly recommend refocus if you want to stop using and want to change your life.

This place changed my life in more ways than one. Getting off the drugs was the easy part, what refocus does that is so amazing is show you path and give you the tools to deal with life and the problems that come with it that most of us struggle to deal with and so we turn to drugs. The beautiful staff at refocus really make the time you spend there so enjoyable and the support they give the clients is what stands out the most about this place.

Being an emotional drug addict I struggled to show any emotion and or discuss any emotions. But as I spent more time here at refocus with the help of the staff and residents I learnt quickly to feel again, to be able to deal with my emotions and to express them in a healthy way.

Every aspect of this program is thought about and is put in place for a good reason. Even simple things, living in a clean environment, eating healthy, meditation, the importance of reflection, I could go on and on.

One of the most appealing parts about the staff at refocus is that each and every one of them has lived and breathed addiction at some point in their lives. So they can fully understand and relate to what we all are going through.

This experience is life changing and to be honest I would go on and say it’s priceless. Worth every dollar and every minute of the 3 months I spent.

Barb and the crew are amazing thank you all so much for the last to months you guys saved my life and saved me so much pain i love you guys!

When i arrived in Refocus Id been using drugs for 20+ years. I couldnt communicate and i was just angry. I am now 1 year and 21 days clean. Ive got my family and my life back. Refocus taught me how to communicate and how to be patient and gave me the tools to stay clean and help others. I am healthy and happy. I smiled more getting one year clean then i did in 20 years of using. I am grateful for everything Refocus taught me and the path of recovery that they put me on.

My life was unmanageable.
I was addicted to Meth and GHB and damaging my body recklessly. I've ad been using for over 12 years. I'm now 32.
My usage would sometimes cost me over $600 a day. I've lost my self, my family, my finances, my career, friends and love life. Life was crumbling below my feet.
I've lied to my parents, stole money from family, work and also did so many illegal activities to just get a needle in me - I was a complete embarrassment.

I was very scared coming into refocus for the consultation but i had to. Or my life was heading towards the grave.
I met Peter Daily (super nice) and had a super intimidating one on one.
I then met with Barb (CEO)
I've been to other rehabilitation such as Ray Hayden in South Melbourne.the Staff (Barb, Peter daily, Peter Harvey, Ralph (my current counselor), and the gorgeous Marnie is the utmost genuine people on this planet.) here compared to others, were all ex addicts. They all understand us.

My life has now turned around.
I now love life, I love my family and i haven't used.
I've met some beautiful people inside rehab that i still keep in contact with.

I am grateful.

If your life is depending on the next hit, Please, give these guys a call. You are more worth it. Its so much better sober!

Stay strong guys.

I attended refocus in November of 2016. When I arrived at refocus, I was broken, fragile and so desperate to find help. Refocus changed my life more than anything ever has. I felt so at home and so welcomed by all the stuff, it was exactly what I needed and I would spend the money again in a heartbeat. The in depth counselling sessions made me feel like a lifetime of trauma, hurt and anger had all been taken away. The staff felt like best friends I had known for years, I was so incredibly comfortable. I left refocus a changed person and I have never looked back since!

I had a life transforming experience at Refocus and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to make important changes in their life.
At 40 years old I found myself unhealthy, unhappy and lonely. I had been stressed and uncomfortable for years and my solution was to medicate with alcohol and drugs. It worked well for years but I couldn't deny that things had gone too far and I couldn't stop if I tried. It was hard to accept but that was the hard truth.
I was apprehensive to go into treatment of course but the alternative was either a mental hospital or death. After a 28 day detox I went to Refocus for three months. It was very challenging and very rewarding. The program was disciplined and well structured. I learnt so much and was able to develop and maintain new habits that made a big positive impact on my physical and mental health. The councelling I got was outstanding and as a very stubborn, cynical and willful guy, (did I mention controlling and manipulative?), I had a team of professionals that I couldn't talk my way around and knew me much better than I knew myself. In fact, that was the main benefit of the program, I got to know myself.
Gradually I got my happiness back and was on the way to becoming the man I always wanted to be but had given up on. I'm over six years clean and sober now and my life is amazing. I am healthy, happy and I have a peace of mind that I never thought possible. My life is full of loving relationships and so much joy. I have Refocus to thank for helping me lay the foundation for change and for supporting me in establishing new habits and life learnings.
It's the best thing I've ever done in my life, money well spent. I would always recommend this place to anyone seeking a solution to their misery and chaos. I certainly got one.

I stayed at Refocus in 2014 and have been clean & sober since then. After attending many detoxes and rehabs, Refocus offered me a solution that I could take into life. The therapy is of the highest standard I've experienced. Refocus offers a therapeutic community structure, which I learnt responsibility and formed companionship from. This has helped me live free of drugs and alcohol.

Refocus has changed my life! I had been battling a drug addiction, primarily ice, for over a decade and it was when my family brought me to Refocus that I finally got the help I had needed. The supportive staff and therapeutic environment are top notch. The counselling and education I received around my addiction have been vital to my recovery. I would recommend it to everyone looking for a rehab facility.

What I got out of Refocus is me. My family back, my structure back, my integrity. I became open, honest and willing to create a new life. I got friends for life out of here. It was a warm and comfortable environment. I recommend it to anybody who wants to take that next step towards a drug free life.

Refocus was recommended me by my counsellor when in hospital. We knew I would use once I got out of detox. I knew I could not do it on my own. I needed some boundaries set up around me. I surrounded myself with people who wanted recovery. It got me out of my own head and stopped me from thinking of using. I still attend counselling. If someone asked me if I should go to Refocus I would say "yeah, go, it was alright"
