Drug ARM Ipswich – Riverview
About Drug ARM Ipswich – Riverview
Drug ARM Ipswich runs the organisation’s free Day Programme from the Salvation Army Riverview Farm at Riverview, Queensland. Groups meet three days a week for up to twelve weeks, and a case manager coordinates links to other services. Counselling, family support and street outreach run from the same site.
Drug ARM Australasia, operating since 1988, keeps the groups small, at around twelve participants, and this is the South East Queensland base for the model. Abstinence is not a condition of taking part, though attending under the influence is not allowed. Entry is through the central intake team on (07) 3620 8880, by self-referral or through a health professional, and outreach from this office reaches the Lockyer Valley, Scenic Rim and Somerset.

Drug ARM Ipswich Alcohol and Drug Services
Drug ARM Ipswich offers a free day programme, individual alcohol and other drug counselling and community outreach, all on a non-residential footing.

Alongside the groups, the Riverview team lists family and significant-other support, the Community and Family Support Service, SMART Recovery meetings and street outreach. Transport help is listed among its support services, which matters on a farm property. Day Programme places are for adults aged 18 and over. Withdrawal management and medication are not listed here, and Drug ARM Australasia lists ISO 9001 certification across its work.

Where Is Drug ARM Ipswich?
Drug ARM Ipswich works out of the Salvation Army Riverview Farm at 29 Riverview Road, Riverview, Queensland, postcode 4303. The setting is a farm property rather than a shopfront office, so allow a little time to find the right building when you first arrive for a group.
The office is open Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 5:00pm, with Day Programme groups running Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 9:30am to 2:30pm. All assessment and referral goes through the central intake team on (07) 3620 8880, or by emailing the referral form; self-referrals and professional referrals are both accepted. Group cycles and transport arrangements change, so check before travelling out to Riverview.

How Much Does Treatment at Drug ARM Ipswich Cost?
Drug ARM Ipswich charges nothing for its services. The Day Programme, individual counselling, family and significant-other support, SMART Recovery and street outreach are all free, funded through government rather than fees, so a twelve-week course of groups costs you no more than getting there.
Even travel may not fall to you, since transport assistance is listed among the support services at this site, which is worth raising with the intake team given the Riverview Road location. No private fee, Medicare rebate, NDIS or WorkCover arrangement is listed for the Ipswich office, and private health insurance plays no part in getting a place.

Drug ARM Ipswich Reviews
Public reviews of Drug ARM Ipswich are limited, which is unsurprising for a free day programme running out of a farm property rather than a commercial clinic. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for this service, and anyone who has completed the twelve weeks at Riverview is welcome to describe it.
Online comment about Drug ARM tends to concern the organisation nationally rather than this programme, so the detail that would actually help is missing: what a small group of around twelve felt like, how the case manager handled links to housing or work, and whether the three-day-a-week rhythm was manageable. An account from someone who has done it would fill that gap.
