About East Side Recovery
East Side Recovery is a non-residential addiction and mental health treatment centre in Boronia, in Melbourneβs eastern suburbs. Founded in 2021, the clinic provides structured daytime and outpatient support for people experiencing substance use, emotional distress and co-occurring mental health conditions. Its location near Boronia train station makes ongoing treatment more accessible while allowing clients to return home after programming. Care combines medical oversight and evidence-based psychotherapy with holistic and experiential practices. Individual treatment plans may incorporate counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy, psychoeducation, mindfulness, yoga, equine therapy, art and recreation. TMS is also available for suitable clients experiencing treatment-resistant depression and related mental health concerns. Options range from outpatient counselling and virtual care to stabilisation services and an intensive weekday recovery programme. The multidisciplinary model brings together psychiatry, nursing, dual-diagnosis expertise, family therapy and psychoeducational support, helping clients address mental health and addiction as connected aspects of recovery. East Side Recovery aims to provide a compassionate, practical environment where clients can build coping strategies, strengthen everyday life skills and develop a sustainable recovery plan. Family education and therapy are available alongside selected programmes, while outdoor experiences and physical activity offer opportunities to rebuild confidence, connection and wellbeing.

I cannot speak more highly of the staff and services at Eastside Recovery!! All of the staff are so passionate about their work and helping people. The mental health system is, often painfully, complex and this is a service that actually hits the mark, fills the gaps properly and is done with the utmost respect, care, effort and meeting everyone wherever they may be at. Eastside Recovery will always hold a special place in my heart β€οΈ Imogen
