What we do
The Cottage is located in central Shepparton. We are local people who understand the challenges that face active addiction within the Community. We are a not-for-profit private funded organisation who are passionate about helping the Community become free from addiction.
We commit to building a transformational model, healing the challenges of disconnection. We encourage self-leadership, empowering people to experience freedom to be.
Why we do it
Having become free ourselves we are passionate about helping others find the same freedom. We are in a unique position to be able to help people with some of the same issues we have had. We work in partnership and collaboration with other services where we can, thus strengthening the already existing and established drug and alcohol network and other services within the Goulburn Valley area. We know we do not hold all the answers and In this way have developed a wholistic approach to complex issues.
What can you do?
You can fill in an assessment/intake application and submit to our team or contact us via phone or email, you can like our Facebook page and become familiar. We will consider your application carefully, exclusions will be on the basis of significant violent offending and your willingness to participate in our simple program. There are some requirements and this application will help to determine if our program is right for you as well. There may be a short waiting time for entry so we recommend that you contact alcoholics anonymous or narcotics anonymous and attend some meetings in the meantime
