Aston Private has expanded its Northern Rivers services by launching Aston at Home, an outpatient service for people who would benefit from treatment while staying at home and connected to daily life.
Based in Byron Bay, Aston Private offers private residential rehabilitation and outpatient support for alcohol and drug use, mental health, stress and trauma. Every program begins with understanding the person, their health, circumstances and goals.
Aston Private’s residential programs give clients space to step away from everyday pressures and focus on their health with dedicated, one-on-one support. Depending on individual needs, care may include medical support, therapy, recovery mentoring, physical wellbeing and holistic therapies. The focus is on helping clients build healthier habits, practical coping skills, and a strong foundation for returning home.
Aston at Home can support people after detox or residential treatment, or serve as a starting point for people receiving care in their own homes.
‘For many people in the Northern Rivers, leaving work, family and community is not practical. Aston at Home gives them access to clinical support without requiring them to step away from their everyday lives,’ said Aston Private Clinical Director, Dr Damien Ford.
Programs can include medical check-ins, therapy, recovery coaching, personal support and wellness sessions. The type, frequency and length of care are customised to each person and adjusted as their needs evolve.
Both residential and outpatient services strongly emphasise confidentiality, coordinated care, and ongoing support. Families can be involved when appropriate, with the client’s consent, to help them understand how to support their loved one.
Available in Byron Bay and selected Northern Rivers locations, Aston at Home offers another pathway to personalised treatment close to home.
Whether you’re exploring options for yourself or someone close to you, Aston Private welcomes every enquiry with kindness, discretion and complete confidentiality.
