About Phoebe House
Phoebe House is a residential rehabilitation programme at Arncliffe in southern Sydney, New South Wales, for women on opioid treatment, with their children accommodated alongside them in a home environment. The programme runs for about six months, and enquiries are taken on (02) 9005 1570.
Each woman is allocated a designated counsellor and case manager, and the weekly structure takes in daily group therapy, relapse prevention, a parenting programme and workshops covering health, nutrition and exercise. The Myee children’s programme supports the children living on site. An optional twelve-month aftercare programme follows the residential stay, and funding through NSW Health means there is no cost to the client. Further detail sits at http://www.phoebehouse.org.au/.

Phoebe House Alcohol and Drug Services
Phoebe House offers two levels of care: residential rehabilitation of around six months for women on opioid treatment, and an optional twelve-month aftercare programme afterwards. Children live with their mothers in a home-style setting, which removes the choice between entering treatment and staying with a young family.
Treatment combines daily group therapy with individual counselling from a designated counsellor, relapse prevention and case management, plus a parenting programme and workshops on health, nutrition and exercise. The Myee children’s programme runs for the children on site. Medications are not named for Phoebe House beyond the fact that residents are on opioid treatment, so ask staff how prescribing is arranged.

How Much Does Treatment at Phoebe House Cost?
Treatment at Phoebe House is free. The residential programme is funded through NSW Health, so a woman entering with her children is not charged for the accommodation, the counselling and group therapy, the parenting programme or the children’s programme that runs alongside the six-month stay.
The optional aftercare year is likewise not priced for the service, and no private pay rate is stated. Private health insurance is not needed, and Medicare, NDIS and WorkCover arrangements are not stated. Everyday family costs and travel are what to plan for, and staff can set out what the house provides.

Phoebe House Reviews
Phoebe House attracts positive comment from around the web, much of it from women who valued being able to keep their children with them during treatment. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for the Arncliffe programme, and any mother who has lived there is welcome to add her own account.
Public feedback tends to focus on the home environment and the staff rather than the structure of the six months. Detail about the daily group work, the parenting programme, how the children’s programme supported a family, and what the aftercare year offered would help other women work out whether this is the right place for them.
