Transformations Gold Coast Reviews
Reviews of Transformations Gold Coast from around the web are limited, and the comment that exists tends to cover the wider Transformations programme across its campuses rather than this one. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for the service, and anyone who has lived in the Monaco Street houses can share their experience.
A 12-month commitment is a big decision, so first-hand detail matters: how the four-week assessment phase worked, what daily life in the separate men’s and women’s houses was like, how the work therapy and group sessions were run, and what support followed after the final stage.
This program saved and changed my little brother’s life …. THANK YOU 🙏 everyone in this program is strong a resilient. Therefore they provide not only hope for those in recovery but teach them how to rehabilitate and… learn discipline! 🙏
My experience with this program was unfortunately disappointing. While Transformations presents itself as a place of healing through spirituality, I found the environment to be overly focused on rigid Pentecostal… beliefs rather than offering genuine support or understanding for individuals in recovery. The approach felt patronizing and judgmental. Rather than being treated as a person working through pain, you’re often portrayed as someone whose struggles are the result of sin, and if you don’t fully conform to their religious view, you may be met with judgment or made to feel like an outsider. Recovery is deeply personal, and for me, the lack of emotional safety, compassion, and flexibility made it difficult to grow. Everyone’s journey is different, and this program may work for some — but it was not the supportive, non-judgmental space I was hoping for.
Ksenia and the team leads with heart and purpose. The work she’s doing through Transformations is thoughtful, well-structured, and genuinely impactful. We love supporting them. It’s great to see someone delivering real… value in this space.
Great community, 3 of my best mates came from this programme and I have a few in now. Would recommend for a true life transformation. Thanks team! Keep going!
Transformations Program Australia is an outstanding organisation that genuinely cares about its residents. The management team goes above and beyond to support individuals through every stage of their journey, providing… not just structure, but real, heartfelt care and love. What stands out the most is seeing the incredible changes in the people who go through the program. It’s truly inspiring to watch, especially when you see graduates looking back on their progress—many are unrecognisable from when they started. This is not just about recovery; it’s about rebuilding lives. Last year alone, they helped over 300 people find a new path and regain hope for their futures. It’s clear that their approach works, and their commitment to making a difference is real. If you or someone you know needs support, I wholeheartedly recommend this program—it really can save lives.
Hi my name's Anthony transformations changed my life so much I was in addiction for 17 years lost all family now all family has restored I'm so much healthier and progressing in my life where I should be
I highly recommend this program for anyone who is struggling in life, especially those that are struggling with drug and or alcohol addiction. Transformation saved my life before coming to this program I was unable to… hold down a job, accommodation or stay out of prison now I can and I owe it all to the team at transformation.
I couldn't recommend this place more to anyone in addiction! Staff are supportive and the program is amazing!!!
This place changed my life. I had never experienced community prior to volunteering here and I’m blessed to say I have made lifelong friends and mentors. In my opinion, there is no program that can compare to… Transformations. If freedom is what you want, this is the place to go. Thank you to the staff and the resident who make this community so rich! 🤍
Great ministry. Life changing.
Transformations program was a pivotal part of my recovery journey. They re teach you how to live, manage emotions and to grow into your true self. The support and community is something that will stay with me for the… rest of my life.
Transformations has been life changing 🙌🏼🩷
The Transformation Program is life-changing. The compassionate and dedicated staff provide essential support, fostering a strong sense of community where everyone feels safe to grow. It's inspiring to see the program's… positive impact, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking healing and transformation.
Did I little bit of time in the program got out and worked my way to now owning a successfull business, I found transformations teaches you the tools you need to deal with the traumas that come from addiction,… Transformations also restores ya soul and gives you help in finding your purpose in life ❤️
When I arrived at Transformations in 2023, I was struggling with addiction feeling broken, battered, and unable to see any light at the end of the tunnel. But during my time here, the incredible staff and volunteers… truly loved me back to life. They helped me see myself through God‘s eyes - as someone who is loved, Worthy and forgiven. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone seeking real hope and a way out of addiction.
This program provided a safe space for me to really look at my behaviors and make real changes. I felt unworthy of love and carried so much guilt. Before transformations, my life had no purpose and I was beginning to… believe I would die in addiction. Now I feel alive, I have hope, and my life has been miraculously transformed. If you want real recovery from addiction, I highly recommend Transformations. Anne Mcintyre
Transformations saved my life. I'm forever greatful for what it has done for me and my family. I can highly recommend Transformations if you or anyone you love is struggling with addiction.
As a resident of transformations I can say the program has changed my life. I am happy healthy and free from addiction. I highly recommend to anyone struggling with addiction.
I am a gay man who was accepted into this program. After 13 months I was told to “find a woman who likes to wear a strap-on” and when I told them that my sexuality wasn’t up for discussion I was booted from the program… and shunned by the church. I have struggled with my faith and my sexuality ever since. Transformations did more damage to me than my drug use ever did.
Great program! Initially, it was challenging to let go of my old lifestyle, how I used to do things and my old identity. I have personally graduated the program in 2015 and have never looked back. I have a great… relationship with my daughter, married to a beautiful person, have bought a house and have great relationships with good people. It has changed my life and I am forever grateful for the journey of change I have been on.
Transformations has a culture of honor and love. I’m deeply grateful for what they have done in my life and my families lives. If you know someone or you yourself are battling addiction, brokenness, then having a place… that extends Grace, Hope and love like Transformations is just what they/ you need….
Amazing people doing amazing things
This place saved my life. I've spent years in jail. Now I have custody of my kids.
Absolutely awesome God you’re awesome 👏
An amazing place to grow & to recover from addiction or other life controlling struggles
This place saved me
