About The Overcomers Place

The Overcomers Place offers a structured, non-residential day program (Monday to Friday) for those seeking recovery from an addiction of any kind. Our addiction support groups are free of charge* for the duration of your program, and will provide you with the practical support you need to regain control of your physical, mental and emotional health.  therapy sessions run from Monday to Friday, and are here to provide you with the practical, evidence-based support you need to regain control of your physical, mental and emotional health.

 

Our in-person addiction support groups operate in Gladesville and Bronte. Several of our groups can be joined online via Zoom, and all services are provided by counsellors and Addiction Specialists who have their own lived experience with addiction. We are here to help you develop the skills you need to move towards long-term, sustained recovery.

There's no 'one size fits all' approach to recovery. So let's find what works for you.

Hear from the people who took that first step

"The day that I found The Overcomers Place was a major turning point. I found people like me. I did not feel judged. I felt accepted and supported. I slowly started to get to know myself and find out who I was without the drugs and alcohol. I didn’t get it straight away, I still had to go out and make more mistakes... I just couldn’t accept that I was an addict. But The Overcomers Place was always there for me, and kept the door open and helped me on my journey. I’m forever grateful and I continue to learn so much."

"The counsellors all had lived experience, and held the space so we all felt safe. I felt like I belonged and began losing my shame base. The fear and loneliness I had faced whilst in my drinking hell hole began to fade into the distance. I was not judged by anyone in the room. The counsellors were simply fantastic. They taught me how to love life again. They gave me tools to rebuild my life, abstain from alcohol and gave me reasons to enjoy my life. The Overcomers Place has always there for me."

"My abstinent days built up and became months... I now see a counsellor once a week to help me with the deeper painful things in my past, and six months on, I attend two days a week at The Overcomers Place. Now I am living with some form of balance, sober and improving my physical, emotional, mental and spiritual strength. I have support and guidance. The Overcomers Place has consolidated my resolve and given me stronger foundations on which to continue to build a spiritually-focused and (hopefully) content and productive future."
