About Program for Adolescent Life Management (PALM)
Program for Adolescent Life Management (PALM) is a residential rehabilitation programme at Randwick in eastern Sydney, New South Wales, delivered by the Noffs Foundation. The programme takes young people aged roughly thirteen to seventeen for a stay of about three months, and enquiries go to (02) 9305 6235.
Because PALM works with adolescents rather than adults, treatment covers schooling-age concerns alongside alcohol and other drug use, though the specifics of the daily programme are not stated for this service. Funding through NSW Health means there is no cost to a young person or their family. The Noffs Foundation site at https://noffs.org.au/ carries more on its youth services and how a referral is made.

Program for Adolescent Life Management (PALM) Alcohol and Drug Services
PALM provides one level of care: residential rehabilitation of around three months for young people in their teens. Each young person lives at the Randwick service for the duration of the programme, which is run by a youth-focused charitable organisation rather than a hospital or a local health district.
Named therapies, group work, education arrangements, medications, assessment and drug testing are not stated for PALM, and nor are the substances it treats or any structured aftercare. The admissions team is the right source for what a week looks like, how schooling continues during a stay, how families are involved and what support follows the three months.

Where Is Program for Adolescent Life Management (PALM)?
PALM is based at Randwick, an inner eastern suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, a short way from Coogee and the coast. No street address or postcode is published for the service, which is normal for a residence accommodating young people.
Hours are not stated for the service. Enquiries and referrals go through (02) 9305 6235, and https://noffs.org.au/ carries contact details for the organisation’s youth programmes. Young people are referred to Randwick from well beyond eastern Sydney, so check that a place is available and settle the arrival arrangements with staff before travelling.

Program for Adolescent Life Management (PALM) Reviews
Reviews of PALM from around the web are limited, and what public comment exists usually describes the Noffs Foundation as an organisation rather than this Randwick programme. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for the service, and families or former clients who know it are welcome to share their experience.
Adolescent residential treatment is hard for parents to picture from the outside, so a first-hand account matters here. Detail about how the referral was handled, how a young person settled in, what the staff were like and what happened once the three months ended would be valuable to any family considering it.
