The Salvation Army AOD Services Berkeley Vale Detox and Rehab Services
Berkeley Vale offers three levels of care: residential rehabilitation of twelve to sixteen weeks across forty beds, an aftercare phase afterwards, and transitional housing places that residents can apply for towards the end of treatment. Adults over eighteen of any gender are accepted at the Fountaindale site.
The Foundations group programme carries the clinical work, combining group sessions with optional spirituality modules, case management and relapse prevention. Chaplaincy and a chapel service are available to residents who want them. Named medications, assessment and testing arrangements and the substances treated are not stated for this service, so the intake team is the place to raise those questions.

The Salvation Army AOD Services Berkeley Vale Reviews
Public comment about the Central Coast programme from around the web is broadly positive, though much of it still refers to the service by its former name, the Dooralong Transformation Centre. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for Berkeley Vale, and anyone who has completed the programme is welcome to add theirs.
Because The Salvation Army runs alcohol and drug services across the country, online feedback often describes the organisation rather than this site. Detail about the Foundations group work, how optional the spirituality modules felt in practice, and what the aftercare and housing phase delivered would help prospective residents most.
