The new centre will offer an even higher standard of recovery care for those struggling with drug and alcohol addictions. On 345 acres of land, the Dooralong Transformation Centre was previously a luxurious holiday resort. Iit features cabins which are comfortably fitted out, a commercial cafe, timbered floors and brass fittings. Dooralong also provides a number of recreational activities including horse riding, canoeing and aqua golf. Along with the on-site residents, we hope that the local community and businesses will engage with the recreational activities on offer. Although farm work therapy activities were previously a focus at Miracle Haven, a program that provided residents with employment skills, Dooralong will continue work therapy activities through the centre’s cafe. There are also plans to offer horticultural and wildlife protection programs. While men and women have been separated previously between the two sites at Miracle Haven and Selah, Dooralong is bringing a fresh change by combining them at one centre. Cabins will remain divided by gender, but there will be some shared activities including group counselling sessions. Up to 115 residents can be housed at Dooralong.
