About Lucinda House – Fairfield
Lucinda House is a women-only live-in rehabilitation programme in Brisbane, run by the St Vincent de Paul Society in Queensland. The programme supports women experiencing significant harm from alcohol or other drug use, is funded by Queensland Health, and takes enquiries without any referral.
Women stay on site for a structured programme, though neither its length nor the therapies used are set out publicly. Vinnies keeps the street address unpublished, which is usual for women’s services. Phone 0438 129 282 between 7:30am and 3:30pm on weekdays, or reach Vinnies on 1800 846 643 or through the enquiry form on its site, to ask about admission criteria and exclusions before going any further.

Lucinda House Alcohol and Drug Services
Lucinda House offers one level of care: a structured live-in rehabilitation programme for women dealing with significant harm from alcohol or other drug use. St Vincent de Paul Society runs it as part of its Queensland alcohol and other drug work, funded through the state health system.
Detail beyond that is scarce. Programme length, therapies, group work, medical staffing, assessment, aftercare and whether withdrawal has to be completed beforehand are not listed for Lucinda House, so the only reliable answers come from the service itself. Admission criteria and exclusions apply, and staff will go through them on the phone. Women wanting a timeline or a sense of the daily routine should ask at that first call.

Where Is Lucinda House?
Lucinda House is in Fairfield, an inner-southern suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, and no street address or postcode is published for the house itself. Women are given directions by staff once a place has been arranged, which is common practice for women-only services.
Contact hours are Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 3:30pm, on 0438 129 282, with email to aods.brisbane@svdpqld.org.au. No referral is needed, though admission criteria and exclusions apply and a conversation with staff comes first. Since the address is given only after intake, settle arrangements with the service before making travel plans.

Lucinda House Reviews
Reviews of Lucinda House from around the web are limited, which is unsurprising for a women-only service that keeps its address private. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for Lucinda House, and any woman who has stayed there is welcome to share her experience in whatever detail she is comfortable with.
Comment online about Vinnies in Queensland usually covers the wider charity, from its shops to its welfare and homelessness work, rather than this programme. An account of the intake conversation, the length of the stay, how the house was run and what support followed would tell another woman considering Lucinda House a great deal more than what is publicly available now.
