Transformations can help!

Destiny Transformations is a Faith Based, Discipleship, Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation program.  We are a not-for-profit residential program located in Hoppers Crossing, near Werribee, in Melbourne’s West. Our program is based on the Therapeutic Community model in which the rehabilitation community itself, through self-help and mutual support, is the principal means for promoting personal change.

In a therapeutic community residents and professional qualified staff participate in the management and operation of the community, contributing to a psychologically and physically safe learning environment where change can occur. In a therapeutic community there is a focus on social, psychological and behavioural dimensions of substance use, with the use of the community  and God to heal individuals emotionally, spiritually, and support the development of behaviours, attitudes and values of healthy living.

We house up to 12 men in Hoppers Crossing.  There are other Transformations houses throughout Australia.

HABZ is here to help families and individuals address substance use and plan for recovery. Not every person will be willing. Not every person has to hit bottom. Many people labelled "unwilling" are actually confused, scared and too impaired to think straight - they deserve help also. We want to help families find the solution to engage the unwilling. When possible, family should be the cornerstone of the recovery team. Isolation feeds addiction; connection feeds recovery. We understand there will be complications and hurdles to jump along the way including lengthy waiting lists, legal implications, children to care for, housing issues and more. Let us help you deal with your situation today.

FACILITATIVE SUPPORT SERVICES

HABZ provides facilitative support to families and substance users. These services include:

• Will listen to your situation
• Assess what your options are and respect your privacy, rights and choice
• Assist you in accessing relevant resources and services
• Detox/Withdrawal
• Rehabilitation
• Transition
• Monitoring
• Provide direct and personalised assistance
• Assist participants in the development of their own individual recovery plans
• Support and tools for family and carers
• HABZ will engage in the role and function of facilitating support services and guiding you whilst you manage yourself or a loved one seeking recovery from substance use.

It takes support, direction and heart-felt commitment to break the chains of addiction and other life-controlling behaviours. Our team has been applying this understanding for over forty years. As a result, we have helped thousands of men take control and get on with their lives.

People don't just click their fingers and become outstanding leaders and community members. They need opportunities, guidance, a clear path to follow and good friends for support. Our Christian-based, residential training facility offers all this and more. Our vision is to help people put their lives back together and set them on the pathway of success.

We don't pretend to be able to change a person's past. What we can do is try to understand what lies at the core of the presenting issues and help people find the physical, spiritual and emotional strength to face life's challenges head-on and come out on top in the future.
