About Our Alcohol Abuse and Drug Abuse Support Services 

Our team state-wide are working with Queenslanders to provide a hand-up, not just a hand out.

We offer both residential and mobile outreach services across Queensland.

We want to ensure you get the right help. If you're ready to get assistance, read below for eligibility and next steps.

About Our Outreach and Continuing Care Services 

The St Vincent de Paul Society QLD is a trusted place for Queenslanders to turn to for help.

We offer before and after residential recovery support if you live in Greater Brisbane, Mackay, Townsville, or Cairns. If you are transitioning into, or leaving, one of our residential recovery programs, this service will help you get back on track, or stay on track, with your recovery.  

Pre-treatment support: We provide information on how to avoid harm, stay well, get ready for the detoxification process, and offer you any crisis support you need before you start one of our programs. 

Post-care support: We arm you with the skills you need to live independently and re-integrate back into your community without relying on substances. We can connect you with local support groups, help you find accommodation, help you gain employment, and support you in managing your finances. 

Please call us on 1800 846 643 for assistance.
