History

Established in 2004.

Sunshine Coast Health Center officially opened in the spring of 2004. We saw the need for a privately-​funded drug rehabilitation centre and had the land, buildings, and experience in residential group care to make it possible. Patterning itself after the largest treatment centres in the United States, Betty Ford Center and Hazelden, we opened as a 12-​Step treatment centre. Over the next few years, however, we found that too many clients weren’t being treated with the kindness and respect they deserved and that 12-​Step treatment was not backed by psychological research. As a result, in 2008 Sunshine Coast Health Center overhauled it’s program, replacing its 12-​Step focus with a meaning-​centered focus.
