Foundation House – The Construction Industry (Rozelle, N.S.W)

Foundation House – The Construction Industry (Rozelle, N.S.W) is an alcohol, drug and gambling treatment centre run by the Construction Industry Drug and Alcohol Foundation (the Foundation).

The Foundation was established in 1994 to address the lack of availability of effective alcohol, drug and gambling treatment options, limited places in existing facilities, and unrealistic waiting lists in an already overcrowded public health system.

We are a living skills based program for males and females. It is available to the construction industry workforce, members of their families and to members of the general public.

We also provide an Aftercare Program to former clients. The unit accepts males and females with admission age needing to be 18 years or over. A comprehensive telephone assessment is undertaken followed by a face to face assessment on admission. Treatment plans that focus on the needs of the individual are then developed and implemented. Group work, specialist individual counselling and regular attendance of self-help meetings are an integral part of the Program.

Individuals with gambling problems also need to be alcohol and drug free while in Foundation House. Should a prospective client fail the urine test and is given the opportunity to reapply the following week, a second administration and urine analysis fee will be charged.
