Our Facility

The facility is situated in the southern suburbs. The location and structure of our facility aim to provide the best possible treatment at the lowest possible charge. Inside, it remains a therapeutic space.

No signage on the facility. After 8 years in operation, neighbours still do not know it is a rehabilitation centre. Privacy and confidentiality are protected at all times.

Clients go to the park, beach, skating rink, and farm for equine therapy. Basic amenities, gym equipment, and relaxation spaces are available between sessions.

Rooms accommodate between 3 to 4 clients.

A separate area distinct from the main house separates treatment spaces from living and leisure areas.

Large outdoor and lounge areas for games, movies, and relaxation.

Therapy Types

The success of a client’s treatment requires the support of an entire community. At New Journey Treatment Centre, we understand the heartache and pains of addiction and the strength that can be gained from successful treatment. Take advantage of this service to help in your healing process and get in touch for more information.

Individual Therapy

1-on-1 private consultations with professional therapists involving various approaches tailored to the client’s individual needs.

Group Therapy

Structured seminar, instructional, and process therapy in small group settings.

Family Therapy

We include, as far as possible, a focus on the family system to bring about understanding family dynamics, improve communication, resolve conflict, and build mutually supportive relationships.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Helps people identify, challenge, and change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns to manage difficulties and improve quality of life.

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)

Helps people manage intense emotions, cope with distress, and improve relationships by teaching mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Trauma-Informed Care

Involves creating safe, trusting, and empowering environments by prioritizing the physical, psychological, and emotional safety of everyone involved.
