About Kathleen York House
Kathleen York House is an abstinence-based residential rehabilitation service for women at Glebe in inner Sydney, New South Wales, run by the Alcohol and Drug Foundation of NSW. The structured programme runs six months, and children aged eleven or younger can live in while their mother is in treatment.
Treatment is government-funded through New South Wales Health, so no fee applies. Kathleen York House publishes information at https://kyh.org.au/ and takes enquiries on (02) 9660 5818. The street address, opening hours, named therapies, the substances treated and the referral route are not listed, so the phone line is where a woman considering the six-month programme, or a worker supporting her, should start.

Kathleen York House Alcohol and Drug Services
Kathleen York House provides a single level of care: long-term residential rehabilitation for women over six months, run on an abstinence-based model by the Alcohol and Drug Foundation of NSW. Children aged eleven or younger can stay with their mother, so entering treatment need not mean separating a family.
Withdrawal management, day programmes and standalone counselling are not listed at Kathleen York House, so a woman who needs medically supervised withdrawal would complete that step before admission. Named therapies, medications, assessment arrangements and the substances treated are not set out publicly. Because the programme is abstinence-based and long, ask the intake team how the six months is structured and what schooling arrangements apply for children living in.

Where Is Kathleen York House?
Kathleen York House is at Glebe, New South Wales, an inner-city suburb just west of the Sydney central business district. A street address and postcode are not listed for the house, so the exact address is given to a woman through the intake process rather than published online.
Opening hours are not listed. Enquiries and referrals go through (02) 9660 5818, with programme information at https://kyh.org.au/. Because the address is not published and a six-month place depends on availability, confirm the arrangements, the start date and what a mother and her children will need before travelling to Glebe. Health professionals can refer through the service’s own contact channels.

How Much Does Treatment at Kathleen York House Cost?
Treatment at Kathleen York House is free. The six-month residential programme is government-funded through New South Wales Health and delivered by the Alcohol and Drug Foundation of NSW, so a woman accepted into the house pays nothing for her stay or for having her children live in with her.
No private pay rate is published for Kathleen York House, and private health insurance, Medicare rebates, NDIS and WorkCover arrangements are not listed for this service. Over six months the practical costs are travel, clothing and school needs for children, and keeping a tenancy or other commitments in order at home. The intake team can explain what the house supplies and what to bring.

Kathleen York House Reviews
Reviews of Kathleen York House from around the web are limited, which is common for women’s residential programmes where privacy matters to those living there and to the children with them. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for Kathleen York House, and any woman who has completed the six-month programme at Glebe is welcome to share her experience.
Public comment about the Alcohol and Drug Foundation of NSW usually describes the organisation rather than this house. An account of how the abstinence-based programme was structured across six months, how staff supported mothers with children on site and what help was arranged for housing afterwards would be genuinely useful to a woman weighing up a long stay.
