Lives Lived Well – Sunshine Coast
About Lives Lived Well – Sunshine Coast
The Sunshine Coast service of the not-for-profit Lives Lived Well is a community alcohol and other drug counselling office in Maroochydore, covering the Sunshine Coast region including Gympie, with outreach and phone counselling across Queensland.
Counselling and support are free, for adults and young people, and include services specifically for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, delivered by AOD counsellors in person, by phone or online. Self-referral is accepted through the intake line or an online form, with no GP referral needed, and the same route leads into Lives Lived Well’s withdrawal, day and residential programmes elsewhere in Queensland.

Two levels of care are recorded at the Maroochydore office: outpatient counselling in person, and the same support by phone or online for people who cannot attend. Counselling is open to adults and young people, with outreach across the Sunshine Coast and Gympie, culturally specific support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and screening at intake. Alcohol and gambling are the recorded focus.
Recorded therapies are individual and group counselling, addiction counselling and a family programme, with youth outreach attached. Clients can be linked into Lives Lived Well withdrawal, residential and day programmes elsewhere in Queensland through the same intake line. Approaches vary by programme and clinician.

How Much Does Treatment at Lives Lived Well – Sunshine Coast Cost?
The service publishes that its community counselling is free, and notes that the organisation’s residential programmes carry a small fee. Australia has no published country range for outpatient care; what is published at this level is free public or NGO treatment, which is what applies here. The service sits inside the publicly funded system and is open to eligible residents, with self-referral accepted through the intake line.
If a Lives Lived Well withdrawal or residential programme is being considered, ring that same line and ask what the fee covers, whether medical care and medication are included, and what happens if a stay is extended.

Lives Lived Well – Sunshine Coast Reviews
The Maroochydore service appears on Google Maps but carries no reviews at all. That is common for community alcohol and other drug services reached through an intake line and funded by the state health system, and it says nothing about the quality of the help offered.
Where there is nothing to read, ask instead: who delivers the counselling, what qualifications they hold, and how the service keeps in touch once a programme finishes. Those answers matter more than any rating could.
