The Freedom Room

About The Freedom Room

The Freedom Room is a welcoming outpatient addiction recovery centre in Carseldine, a northern suburb of Brisbane. Founded in 2021, it supports men and women seeking freedom from alcohol and drug use while continuing to live at home, work and manage everyday responsibilities. Its personalised approach combines professional counselling with the practical insight of a team whose members have lived experience of long-term recovery. Treatment looks beyond substance use alone, helping clients explore underlying trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns in a compassionate, non-judgmental environment. The centre's structured 12-week programme blends individual counselling, recovery coaching, group meetings, family involvement and educational workshops. Evidence-informed therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy are integrated with mindfulness, sound healing, journaling, life-skills development and relapse-prevention planning. Ongoing connection is an important part of The Freedom Room experience. In-person and online recovery meetings, regular check-ins and maintenance options help clients build supportive relationships and practise healthier ways of responding to cravings, triggers and life's challenges.
