Your Recovery, Your Way

“I know I have a problem but there’s no way I have time to go to rehab.”

The Outpatient Program is a 12-day program specifically designed for people with substance abuse issues who are unable to take time out from their family or work commitments.

Our program is a quality, responsive and personalised day program which will help you identify personal recovery goals and assist in making the changes necessary to reach them.

We don’t believe that one size fits all and we don’t repackage the 12 steps. We have our own evidence-based programs. Come in for an assessment and we will tailor a program for you. Our in-person program operates in Armadale and we offer an online option to participate for those unable to be on site.

Outpatient rehab program

Not everyone can step away from work, family, or other responsibilities to begin treatment. That’s where our outpatient rehab near Melbourne comes in, designed for anyone who needs professional support without putting their lives on hold.

At Arrow Health, our outpatient drug rehab program and outpatient alcohol rehabilitation near Melbourne offer a flexible, evidence-based approach that works around your schedule. With expert guidance, small-group therapy, and a focus on personal growth, this program is a practical, empowering step toward long-term recovery.

Experience real recovery support that fits into everyday life.

Programs based on evidence-based research

The Program is based on applied evidence-based research and embraces the notion that sustained recovery is linked with building recovery capital, such as strong social support, improved mental and physical health, stable housing, purpose through work or study, and enhanced coping skills. These are the building blocks that help people not just recover but thrive.

We’ve helped many people who were hesitant to start rehab because they couldn’t take time away from life. Our outpatient rehab Melbourne service is practical, compassionate and grounded in the belief that recovery doesn’t have to look one way.

After completing the program, patients can also access ongoing aftercare support for the next four weeks.

“The program gave me the foundation and the tools to succeed in my recovery. The sessions were run with articulation, and knowledge, conveyed with great story telling with wit, humour and highly engaging. The facilitators worked seamlessly together to deliver the program and were very engaging, thoughtful and inspiring. I 100% recommend the Outpatient Program as a great beginning to someone’s recovery journey”

James, Former Client

“I found meeting with people who share similar situations dealing with alcohol and substance abuse, positive and I would definitely recommend the Outpatient Program to others.”

CP, Father of Former Client

“It was great to learn and grown with fellow participants. For the mediators to have lived recovery experience and to listen to the stories from guests in recovery was a highlight. A great mix of learning the science, hearing lived experiences and planning for life after the program. “

James, Former Client
