About Kamira
Kamira Alcohol and Other Drug Treatment Services provides residential treatment for women, including pregnant women and women with children, who have problematic alcohol or other drug use. Based at Wyong on the New South Wales Central Coast, the service takes referrals from across the state and lists a stay of five to seven months.
Funding comes from New South Wales Health, the Commonwealth Department of Health and the HNECC Primary Health Network, so there is no fee for the women who attend. Kamira publishes a postal address at PO Box 284, Wyong, postcode 2259, rather than a street address, and can be reached on 02 4392 1341 or at info@kamira.com.au. Further detail sits at https://www.kamira.com.au/.

Kamira Alcohol and Drug Services
Kamira offers one level of care: long-term residential rehabilitation for women, listed at five to seven months, with pregnant women and women accompanied by their children accepted. The programme is aimed at problematic alcohol and other drug use, and women come to Wyong from across New South Wales.
Withdrawal management, day programmes and standalone counselling are not listed at Kamira, so a woman needing medically supervised withdrawal would usually complete that elsewhere before admission. Named therapies, medications, assessment arrangements and any age limits are not set out publicly. Given the length of the stay, ask the intake team how schooling, childcare and contact with family are handled over five to seven months.

Where Is Kamira?
Kamira is based at Wyong, New South Wales, postcode 2259, on the Central Coast between Sydney and Newcastle. The service publishes a postal address, PO Box 284, Wyong, rather than a street address, so the location of the residence itself is given during intake.
Opening hours are not listed for Kamira. Enquiries and referrals go to 02 4392 1341 or info@kamira.com.au, with more information at https://www.kamira.com.au/. Because women travel from across New South Wales and the residence address is not published, confirm the arrangements, the arrival date and what a mother and her children will need before setting out for the Central Coast.

How Much Does Treatment at Kamira Cost?
Treatment at Kamira is free. The residential programme is funded by New South Wales Health, the Commonwealth Department of Health and the HNECC Primary Health Network, so a woman accepted into the service pays nothing for her stay or for the support given to her children while they are there.
No private pay rate is published for Kamira, and private health insurance, Medicare rebates, NDIS and WorkCover arrangements are not listed for this service. Over a stay of five to seven months the costs worth planning for are travel to the Central Coast, clothing and school needs for children, and keeping any tenancy or commitments at home in order. The intake team can set out what the service supplies.

Kamira Reviews
Reviews of Kamira from around the web are limited, which is usual for women’s residential services where those who attend, and their children, have good reason to value privacy. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for Kamira, and any woman who has completed the programme at Wyong is welcome to share her experience.
A stay of five to seven months is a long commitment, and first-hand description of it is the thing most likely to help a woman decide. An account of how the programme was structured month by month, how children were supported alongside their mothers and what the transition home looked like would be far more useful than a general rating.
