Women’s and children’s specific residential, alcohol and other drug program.
Helping Mothers & Children Since 1984
Phoebe House is a residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program for women on opioid treatment in NSW that accommodates for their children, in a safe home environment.
Residents are supported to achieve their personal goals and to develop their parenting skills for independent living in the community.
Children are expertly cared for in the Myee Children’s Program which nurtures and fosters optimal development through age-appropriate play activities.
