My Name is Barbara and I developed the Refocus Rehab program. Refocus is one of Australia's premier Drug and Alcohol Residential Rehabs located in the heart of Melbourne. If you or a loved one needs urgent help, please call Barbara and her team on (03) 9537 0880. Group exercise with a qualified personal trainer (to increase endorphins and oxygen delivery).
If you or someone you love needs to recover from alcohol addiction, you have come to the right place. My name is Barbara Kustra and I run Refocus Rehab - a private residential rehab in Melbourne for people struggling with alcohol addiction. One of the quickest ways many Australians like to to "relax" is by having a beer or a glass of wine at the end of long work day.
We are seeing increasing numbers seeking rehabilitation for marijuana addiction at Refocus Melbourne. Over the last few decades, Marijuana has become more socially acceptable across the western world. This has accelerated recently in part due to its new legalisation in more US states. Access also became legalised in Victoria in 2016, with doctors being allowed to prescribe the drug under certain medical conditions.
It is often said that it's the drug of choice for the rich and famous because of the way it is portrayed by Hollywood. The short and long term ramifications of the drug are certainly not glamorous. Severe anxiety and depression are just some of the many side effects (source). Urgent Admission Available You are welcome to call (03) 9537 0880 if you have questions for you or a loved one.
In recent years, use of heroin has reached nearly epidemic levels in Australia. This is especially true for young people. According to the Alcohol and Drug Foundation, nearly 2 percent of Australians ages 14 and older have used the drug before, and those numbers are steadily increasing (source). Urgent Admission Available You are welcome to call (03) 9537 0880 if you have questions for you or a loved one.

My time at Refocus has been life changing. After a few hard years, I unfortunately developed an unhealthy relationship with alcohol. After arriving at Refocus, I discovered so much about myself and all the factors that let to this unhealthy lifestyle. The staff and counsellors are second to none, and ensure you feel supported and safe at a time of extreme vulnerability. You will learn so much about yourself, and be challenged in the ways you need to be, to ensure you reassess and can achieve the life you deserve. The setting at the Brighton Savoy is nothing short of amazing, with gorgeous rooms

I was incredibly lost and broken when I came to refocus. I was full of anger and fear and I was unable to function without alcohol in my system. After 3-months at Refocus I have never been clearer and more optimistic about my future. A combination of expert and empathetic counselling & incredibly supportive and knowledgeable support workers put me back on track and gave me hope for a sober future. Thank you to all the staff at Refo.

Refocus and the Staff were there for me at a time I needed them most in my life even though at the time I thought I didn't. Looking back now I am forever grateful to the team there who helped me progress in my life. Even to this day I get phone calls from them checking to see how I progressing in my life. 😊💐

I attended Refocus earlier this year for 4 months, for treatment of substance misuse issues. The Refocus program and all the wonderful people who work there have absolutely changed my life. They provide a safe and nurturing environment to get out of the comfort zone and get well. I have a beautiful life today and that is thanks to the program at Refocus and the foundation I was able to set for my recovery during my time there. I am incredibly grateful to Barb and the team at Refo. Thank you xx

My time at Refocus has hands down been the best experience of my life so far.
I came into Refocus so deeply entwined with my addiction. I never saw hope of separating from it as I believed it was part of who I was and would always be.
The only way I can describe how I feel now after 3 months at Refocus is free!
I not only learnt about myself but I have learnt life skills that will serve me through the rest of my life.
The staff are so humble and caring, there wasn't a day that I didn't feel supported no matter what I was going through.
My joy for life has returned and I will be forever grateful

Refocus has been instrumental in changing my life. I had been a daily drug user for nearly 17 years when I attended Refocus and I didn't believe that there was a future in which is didn't use drugs. During my time at Refocus, the staff, counsellors and peer support workers all helped me to develop a program of recovery which has allowed me to create a life free from the shackles of addiction. Refocus is not simply a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program. Through a skilful combination of therapy, community accountability, education and consistent lifestyle change, Refocus has facilitated me to

My time at Refocus has not only been one of the most rewarding, life changing experiences of my life but has also made such a positive difference in the life of my family. Before I got to Refocus I was miserable with no hope for changing what I was doing. Despite all my best efforts I could not stop using substances. Barb and the team there showed real care and concern for me and my families wellbeing during my 11 month stay there. Barb looked at the root causes to what fueled my substance use and replaced them with things like self esteem and self love, which she herself put so much time into

I came into Refocus a broken man, having lost my friends and family through drugs. From the first day til the very last day at Refocus I felt like I was at home surrounded by family, and I ended up staying at Refocus for over 7 months!! It was such a great journey! I could not have had this amazing experience without the support of the staff and the amazing community I was surrounded by. I've gained so much out of the group therapy sessions and one on one counselling sessions with very engaging and knowledgeable counsellors. I also made the most of all the yoga sessions and the gym provided.

I was a middle aged, middle class businessman who was addicted to ICE. I came out of a 28 day hospital program. Refocus was recommended to me at the hospital. When I arrived I was warmly welcomed and easily connected to the recovery environment at Refocus. Staff were committed, informed and caring. I felt connected, safe and inspired by the… community. For the first time I felt understood. Over the last 12 years I have enhanced the friendships created during my time there with not only clients, but also with staff. I shall be eternally grateful for my Refocus experience. Easily the best
