Sunshine Coast Health Centre

This comment is reference to one written early on, Sunshine Coast health centre showed me away to a more happier and healthier way of life.I attended the centre for Trauma and Addiction, the centre showed me the way to help me in both areas, my addiction started once I left the infantry a profession I dearly loved since it was my family my trauma from my childhood, the PTSD from the military, it is a lot of hard work but you have to do the work which is easier said than done.The councillors are there to help you my being your partner and helping along the way but you must do all the work.

My life was in chaos when I arrived at Sunshine Health Coast Center. I had been in active addiction for 20 plus years. I was addicted to multiple heavy substances and had given up on life. I am now nearly nine months clean but more importantly my quality of life and overall happiness have improved. It is always up to the individual to make a choice to stop substance use, however I don’t think I could have done it without the help of SCHC. I was shown that if one is willing to strengthen their life at the biological, psychological, social and spiritual level it is possible to return to one’s true self…free of substance abuse and addiction.

The staff are compassionate people who genuinely care about the individual and their unique circumstances. The counsellors at SCHC truly understand addiction and how to rise above it, but more importantly, the program at SCHC reminds you that life is worth living. I was taught that when one can find a meaningful and purposeful way to live, the addiction loses its power. I think of SCHC and the people there as a second home and family. I learned I have self worth and that life is worth living without substance use. I can’t express my love and gratitude enough to the people at SCHC. I am truly lucky that I attended the program when I did, as I’m not sure I would still be alive.

I’m now working towards counselling other people living with substance abuse and mental illness. I would recommend SCHC to anyone who is struggling with addiction. I honestly believe that SCHC is a special place and the program there is a step above, in it’s understanding of people and addiction. If you are serious about changing your life and freeing yourself of addiction, SCHC really is the best option and in my opinion the only option in terms of rehabilitation centers. The reason I say that is because this is truly a unique and special place where sacred and amazing work is done. I think its important to note the incredible strength of the alumni program at SCHC. This is a place that people want to remember. Men who attend this center return to visit and use SCHC as continuous support, and as I said, I will always think of the men I went through the program with and the staff at SCHC as family-- a tremendous source of love.

Hi, first let me start by saying that the Sunshine Coast Health Centre literally saved my life. The facility is top notch and is in one of the most beautiful scenic places on the Sunshine Coast.

The staff, everyone from the doctors, nurses, right down to the kitchen staff, are all amazing people who really do care about you and all that come here. This is a more scientific approach to recovery - as opposed to the traditional AA model that just isn’t for everyone.

If you know someone struggling with addiction, PTSD, or mental health problems than I can’t say enough about this place. Peace too all.

The Sunshine Coast Health Centre is an amazing facility with a wonderful staff. The centre's approach to addiction, and mental health in general, is refreshing and creates a space to explore the root problems of your issues. The facility is well equipped with a gym, indoor pool, and many other activities and outings that allow you to form long lasting friendships. The time I spent at the centre changed my life for the better in every aspect imaginable, I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a lifestyle change.
