History

Fresh Start Recovery Programme grew out of a need to help drug users who haven’t had success with other drug treatment programs. Australia has had an excellent reputation for opiate replacement programs (like the methadone program) which reduce crime and patient discomfort. But for many people, being put on to another opiate prolongs the addiction and continues to limit reintegration into society. Fresh Start has pioneered the use of ‘blockers’ for opiates (such as heroin) and benzodiazepines (such as Valium) to help patients and their families as an alternative to the other treatments available.
