About Lives Lived Well Wunya – Caboolture
Wunya is a live-in alcohol and other drug recovery centre run by Lives Lived Well at Caboolture, north of Brisbane, with 20 beds for adults aged 18 and over. The programme runs six to 12 weeks, takes a harm-minimisation approach, and needs no referral to get started.
Each resident works with a treatment facilitator through individual counselling, case management and group sessions. Before admission, free pre-admission counselling and an optional free withdrawal day programme are available, and aftercare continues through free community counselling at Morayfield. Residents stay free of alcohol and other drugs during the stay and are supported to give up smoking. Self-referral is possible online or on 1300 727 957, and health professionals can refer through the service’s own channels; staff then make contact to arrange an assessment.

Lives Lived Well Wunya Alcohol and Drug Services
Wunya offers one main level of care, a live-in rehabilitation programme over six to 12 weeks, backed by aftercare once a resident moves on. Treatment covers alcohol and polysubstance use, and combines individual counselling, group therapy, case management and relapse prevention work with a treatment facilitator.
Two free add-ons sit around the core programme: pre-admission counselling to get ready, and a withdrawal day programme for anyone who needs to stop using before coming in. Afterwards, community counselling at Morayfield is available at no charge. Smoking cessation support is offered during the stay. On-site medical staff, detox beds and prescribed medication are not listed for Wunya, so raise anything medical at assessment.

How Much Does Treatment at Lives Lived Well Wunya Cost?
A stay at Lives Lived Well Wunya starts with an upfront payment of A$2,000, which covers a six-week cycle of the live-in programme for anyone self-funding. Adults receiving Centrelink benefits instead contribute around 85% of each fortnightly payment, plus the upfront admission fee.
What sits outside that fee is worth checking at assessment: the pre-admission counselling, the withdrawal day programme and the Morayfield community counselling that follows are all listed as free. Private health insurance, NDIS and WorkCover arrangements are not listed for Wunya. If a six-week cycle extends towards 12 weeks, ask the admissions team how the Centrelink contribution works across the longer stay.

Lives Lived Well Wunya Reviews
Reviews of Lives Lived Well Wunya from around the web are limited in number, which is common for rehabilitation centres in smaller towns. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for Wunya, and anyone who has completed a cycle of the live-in programme at Caboolture is welcome to share their experience.
Feedback posted online about Lives Lived Well generally speaks to the charity across its many sites rather than to Wunya itself. A description of the 20-bed house, the rhythm of groups and one-to-one sessions with a treatment facilitator, and how the move to community counselling at Morayfield went would give you or a loved one a much better sense of the place.
I spent 11 weeks at wunya. I would highly recommend the place. The staff are great caring and helpful in every way. And the program is amazing. The facility itself is as good if not better than a motel. You have a good… laugh there as the staff are so humorous. I have been to two other rehabs and caboolture would be the best. I thank you so much for helping me with my addiction and Janelle was an awesome counselor gave me so many strategies to overcome my negative thoughts and past events that led to my addiction. Thank you so much wunya.
What a difference this place makes for your life! The BEST thing that ever happened to me! Tough but friendly. Hard but helpful. But most of all you get what you put in yourself! Even if you don't know what you have to… offer of yourself yet, they can show you the way! I still think about this place daily!
Only been here and wunya for 2 weeks and it has already changed my life, great group of people who are beyond supportive, learning to love life sober. Wait time could be shorter but the staff can't help that. Recommend… to anyone sick of relapsing over and over.
Horrible rehab. Money making machine . Don't waste your time speaking to Amanda or Dan
Barely enough food at dinner times . Patrons kicked out on thd Street for vaping with no where to go . Absolute discusting living conditions. May as well pitch a tent in the park
Cant believe the rating of this place 🤔. This place is magic. I believe anyone that gave it a bad rating didnt embrace the program which means they arnt fully recovered??? The no smoking is hard but i am now not smoking… 😊 feeling very healthy bodyinmind 😉 i think the staff are great, if you follow the rules that arnt that bad and we all find loop holes 😅. So thank you lives lived well, life changer. I also came across something helpful. Using the ai meta app on messenger for journaling its not perfected but its perfect for asking those deep questions when know one else will help you 😉 just some self awareness at play 😆
Wunya, where do I begin. From the top to the bottom, the staff are wonderful.... Amazing talents. If you are willing to do whatever it takes to be free of AoD then this place is the absolute best, the #1 in recovery and… direction. There is two common rooms with TVs, pool table, ping pong table and then there's the gym. This place is amazingly great. Awesome lunches and dinners. Great environment and residents to help you get through each day and learning to smile, giggle and laugh without the need of AoD. Highly recommend this place IF YOU ARE READY.
If you want help, look elsewhere. Most the staff at Wunya Caboolture is grossly unprofessional with a major lack of care for patients. They only care about the dollar. The few that do care are looking for the door out.… The patients have free reign and the majority exert their will and bully others with zero intervention. If you take issue, staff will lie, manipulate, close ranks and kick you out. I'm sure they'll respond with a message to give feedback, which we already tried, but it clearly fell on deaf ears. Save yourself the waste of time, because you'll come out worse than when you entered.
Wunya is an absolutely beautiful place to transform your life. I spent almost 12 weeks there. Beautiful staff! Beautiful place. Changed my life!! Highly recommend Wunya ❤️
Wunya SAVED MY LIFE!! Best place to recover. Staff are AMAZING people who give their all to make sure that the residents are supported. Wonderful community. I highly recommend Wunya! 💚
I done 8 weeks and honestly this rehab helped me so much, I would recommend to anyone that really wants to turn there life around.
Been there, done that, never again. The people running this show just want your money. You won't solve anything being in this place. They don't even treat their staff nicely.
If your wanting help, don’t bother calling this Centre.
