The Only Private Women’s Rehab Retreat Run by Women, For Women
Looking for a female-only addiction rehab retreat in a supportive and empowering environment? Follow Through House specialises in providing alcohol and drug recovery programs for women, nestled in the tranquil countryside of Victoria, just over an hour from Melbourne.
Why Choose Follow Through House?
We believe in the transformative power of a 90-day program, as it provides the best opportunity for long-term recovery and personal growth.
However, we understand that everyone’s circumstances are different.
That’s why we also offer 30-day, and 60-day programs designed to deliver meaningful benefits within a shorter timeframe.
Whether you choose a 30-day, 60-day, or 90-day program, our evidence-based approach ensures you receive the tools, support, and guidance to make significant strides in your recovery. Each program is tailored to help you embrace a healthier lifestyle, develop resilience, and build the foundation for lasting success—one step at a time.
The 90-Day Difference
Research shows that 90 days is the optimal time to:
• Adjust to living a healthy, addiction-free lifestyle.
• Build resilience, self-confidence, and independence.
• Develop practical skills to thrive in everyday life.
Our program is rooted in the Minnesota Model of Recovery. The Minnesota Model is a treatment method used in many rehabs around the world. It is based on the twelve-step program and philosophy of Alcoholics Anonymous. The 12-Step Model is known as the Minnesota Model because its use originally took hold in Minnesota at the Hazelden Foundation, one of the most renowned addiction treatment pioneers in the western world. The twelve-step model is by far the most popular method used globally due to its over-riding success rates, addressing impaired thinking and behaviour change. People with all addictions can use CBT tools to change their self-defeating thinking patterns.
