Funded by SEMPHN, ResetLife is an intensive outpatient Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) treatment program, based on the evidence-based Matrix Treatment Model, for people in South Eastern Melbourne.
It involves 16 weeks of structured, intensive outpatient treatment, followed by 36 weeks of continuing care. During the intensive phase, clients attend formal treatment three days per week and informal treatment the other days. The formal treatment consists of:
- individual and conjoint therapy sessions
- early recovery skills groups
- relapse prevention groups
- family education groups (adult program)
- youth education (youth program)
- continuing care social support groups (youth and adult programs)
- weekly mandatory (random) urine/saliva and breath testing (to inform treatment only, not used to exit people from program).
Evening and weekend sessions may be available, which means that people can continue to work, study and live at home while they’re participating in treatment.
There is no cost for participants, but eligibility criteria applies.
SEMPHN commissions the following organisations to deliver ResetLife:
- First Step — St Kilda
- Peninsula Health — Frankston (Adult)
- Windana — Cranbourne (Adult), Moorabbin (Youth) and Frankston (Youth)
