The Buttery is offering a free, flexible drug and alcohol addiction program

The evidence based treatment is set to revolutionise the practice of addiction treatment.

The Buttery is offering a free rehabilitation program to Tweed residents.

The drug, alcohol and mental health treatment organisation, The Buttery is offering a free four-week non-residential program to assist people with drug and alcohol problems.

The online program commences on Monday, July 19 and includes after-care services for participants.

The Community Rehab program (CORE) is an evidence-based model of intensive rehabilitation which has revolutionised the practice of addiction treatment.

The CORE program provides participants with group and individual therapy and addresses family and relationship issues.

The program also examines neurosciences and the addicted brain and offers skills to manage distressing feelings and emotions. Furthermore, participants reduce social isolation and reconnect to a sense of belonging and purpose in their life.

Many people who would benefit from a long-term stay at The Buttery are unable to do so due to personal circumstances, such as parenting or carer responsibilities. CORE is delivered online during school hours from 9.15am to 1pm from Monday to Thursday over four weeks.

CORE Program Coordinator Tanya Magnay said the concept was not only cost-effective, it was flexible.

“As it is an online program, people can take part from their home or another convenient location,” she said.

“Additionally, participants who would like to maintain their medication and abstain from other substance use are suitable to attend the core program.”

Assessment of potential participants is currently taking place for the July 19 intake.
