Mission Australia’s Triple Care Farm is a residential alcohol and other drugs (AOD) program. Triple Care Farm is located on 110 acres in the NSW Southern Highlands and accepts referrals from young people Australia wide.
Triple Care Farm is an accredited health and community service provider through the Australian Council on Health Care Standards, Equip 5.
Withdrawal Program
The withdrawal program supports young people for up to 28 days, providing supervised withdrawal and a range of holistic supports and therapies. Initially, the program focusses on managing the physical symptoms of withdrawal and the development of an individual treatment plan. As treatment progresses and physical symptoms are reduced, the focus shifts to addressing psychosocial issues.
The program offers a range of multi-disciplinary supports to young people including:
Individualised case management: Support for young people from the point of referral to the program, through the 28-day detox and the six-month aftercare program.
Safe and supported withdrawal: Young people are supported with 24/7 nursing supervision, help managing symptoms of withdrawal, and pharmacotherapy where required. All young people have an individual room with en suite to maximise their safety, privacy and dignity.
Medical care: Provided to young people throughout the withdrawal process as well as for general health and wellbeing. Severe and complex withdrawals and emergencies are managed through partnerships with NSW Health services.
Counselling and therapeutic intervention: Individual and group counselling is offered, including engagement with the young person’s family where appropriate. An adapted Dialectical Behaviour Therapy group program is also available.
Educational and recreational programs: Includes living skills, relapse prevention and ‘How to cope without a smoke’ workshops; sporting and leisure activities and outings; and wellbeing and fitness programs utilising the onsite gym.
Family support: Families are given opportunities on weekends to visit program participants.
Young people leaving the program may move on to the rehabilitation program at Triple Care Farm, alternative rehabilitation programs, other treatment services, or may be ready to transition back to the community.
All young people completing the program are offered up to six months of individually tailored aftercare support. This ongoing support is essential to sustaining long-term positive change and reducing the likelihood of relapse as they transition to other treatment services or back to the community.
Residential Rehab
Triple Care Farm also runs a holistic psychosocial rehabilitation program based on harm minimisation and health promotion.
