Arrow Health is a private, family owned rehab facility that offers
medical detox, residential care, and
outpatient services based on the Minnesota model and Therapeutic Community model. Arrow Health serves men, women, adolescents, and their families struggling with addiction and co-occurring disorders. The Family and Adolescents Change Therapy Program is based in Armandale and is the first of its kind in Australia. This program focuses on working with the family to increase understanding, encourage change, and build better relationships. Inpatient treatment for men and women takes place in Macedon Ranges, Victoria with 30 to 60 day programs.
“Arrow Health aims to provide hope and find solutions for those affected by this misunderstood disease and importantly support those whose loved ones are struggling regardless of whether or not the loved one is in our care.” The clinical approach provides
cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (
DBT), mindfulness-based interventions, family therapy, and much more. During therapy, clients will address the underlying cause of addiction while learning the tools to develop resilience and relapse prevention, manage conflict, and set positive boundaries.
The Arrow Health facilities provide a warm, cottage-feel with comfortable accommodations and beautiful gardens. Clients will have the opportunity to engage in a wide range of therapeutic activities like art, yoga, hiking, music therapy, and off-site swimming. Arrow Health's program provides experienced staff and well-rounded programs that treat the whole family.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Arrow Health provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
