Velocity Transformations is an evidence-based, long-term (12 Months+), alcohol and other drugs (AOD) residential treatment service based in Hobart, Tasmania.
Velocity Transformations is part of a national network of rehabs licensed by Transformations Program Australia. In Hobart we are a 20-bed service and treat adult men and women.
The program is based off a model with decades of experience in its program delivery. The program is evidence-based, aligning its courseware to the National Co-morbidity Guidelines, in a Christian-faith supported setting. A faith background or belief is not a pre-requisite to admission and we welcome people from all walks of life to participate.
A Therapeutic Community to Affect Real Change
The TC model is the most widely used treatment model in the world for residential AOD services. The TC model generates life-long behavioral change, supported by peers, who are on their own journey of freedom from addiction.
Therapeutic communities focus on the whole person and overall lifestyle changes, not just abstinence from drug/alcohol use. The community itself, through self-help and mutual support, is the principal means for promoting personal change. This is reflected in the environment, which is akin to a home as opposed to an institution or hospital.
Day to Day in Velocity Transformations
The Velocity Transformations Program is broken down into an assessment period and 4 program stages.
| Assessment | A four week “try before you buy” season that allows treatment goals and support plans to be assessed and put in place with a Case Manager |
| Stage 1 | Learn about self-awareness, the biology and psychology of addiction and the often trauma-based causes that lead to it. |
| Stage 2 | Focus on learning about consequential thinking and learning to control cravings, thought patterns, and ways of relating to others. |
| Stage 3 | Begin your leadership journey in mentoring other residents and continue to cement your power over addictive patterns of thought and behaviour. |
| Stage 4 | Become a senior leader and mentor in the program, and develop your transition plan to achieve your goals after the program. |
