About Lives Lived Well – Kirwan
Lives Lived Well runs a free alcohol and drug counselling service from the Eastbrooke Health Hub in Kirwan, a suburb of Townsville, Queensland. The not-for-profit operator supports young people from the age of 12 as well as adults, and no referral is needed before getting in touch.
Alongside individual counselling, the Townsville team runs Breakthrough for Families, which gives relatives and friends affected by someone else’s substance use public information sessions and short periods of more intensive support, with a specialised focus on methamphetamine. Phone counselling is available for anyone who cannot attend in person. Self-referral works through the operator’s website or the 1300 727 957 line, and health professionals and other services can send referrals through the same channels.

Lives Lived Well Counselling Services
Counselling is the core of what Lives Lived Well offers in Kirwan: individual sessions for alcohol and drug concerns, family therapy, and telehealth support by phone. The service is non-residential, so you or a loved one attends an appointment and returns home the same day.
Methamphetamine is the substance named for this site, and the family stream is built around it. Detox, withdrawal medication, group therapy and aftercare are not listed for the Kirwan office, so ask the intake team which Townsville service picks up those parts of treatment. Young clients aged 12 to 17 and adults are both catered for, and the counselling team can explain what a first appointment involves.

Where Is Lives Lived Well?
Lives Lived Well’s Townsville counselling service works from the Eastbrooke Health Hub at 86 Thuringowa Drive, Kirwan, Queensland, postcode 4817. The clinic sits inside a larger medical hub rather than a standalone building, so ask reception which suite the counselling team uses.
Appointments run Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 4:30pm, with the office closed at the weekend. No referral is required: call 1300 727 957 to book, or use the enquiry form on the operator’s own site. Because some support is delivered by phone and session times vary, it is worth ringing to confirm your appointment and the location before travelling.

How Much Does Treatment at Lives Lived Well Cost?
Treatment at Lives Lived Well in Kirwan is free. Government funding covers the counselling service, so there is no fee for an intake conversation, for individual or family sessions, or for the Breakthrough for Families stream, and nothing is charged for phone counselling either.
No private pay rate or third-party billing arrangement is recorded for this site. The practical costs are the ones around treatment: travel to Thuringowa Drive, time away from work or study, and childcare if sessions fall during the day. The intake team can talk through what is covered before a first appointment is made.

Lives Lived Well Reviews
Reviews of Lives Lived Well’s Kirwan counselling service from around the web are limited, which is common for free community alcohol and drug services that sit inside a shared health hub. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for this site, and anyone who has attended is welcome to share their experience.
Feedback posted online about the operator tends to describe the organisation across Queensland rather than this particular office. A first-hand account of how quickly an appointment came through, what the counselling sessions were like, and how the family programme worked would be far more useful to you or someone you care about than a general rating.
