About Damascus Health Services - Brisbane

Located near Wickham Park inside Brisbane Private Hospital, Damascus Health Services is a private treatment center for alcohol, prescription, and over-the-counter drug dependence. It offers structured inpatient and outpatient care for substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions. Programs include medical withdrawal, foundational recovery, and relapse prevention—led by a consistent team of psychiatrists and allied health professionals.
Their care model blends evidence-based therapies with whole-person support. Treatment includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), relapse prevention, social coping skills, and motivational intervention. Weekly sessions in compassion focused recovery teach self-kindness, mindfulness, and emotional resilience—tools essential for long-term recovery. Group and individual therapy explore thought patterns, values, and emotions to build practical, lasting change and emotional control in real life.
Clients live in a medically supervised setting with access to psychiatrists and a supportive care team. Programs are phased and include private consultations, group therapy, and day treatment options after inpatient care. Day groups run Monday through Saturday in a dedicated outpatient space. With consistent support, a structured routine, and a focus on real-life coping strategies, individuals can move forward in recovery with confidence and clarity.

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.
