Why ASV?
Why Choose Addiction Solutions Victoria (ASV)?
There are many reasons why people seek treatment for drug and alcohol challenges. For some, it’s about improving their physical and mental health; for others, it’s about repairing relationships, careers, and self-worth. Whatever the reason, taking the first step toward recovery is a life-changing decision.
Addiction affects every area of a person’s life — their health, family, work, and community. Seeking help can reduce the risk of relapse, overdose, or legal consequences and open the door to a renewed quality of life.
Accessible, Affordable, and Evidence-Based
Many people who need treatment face barriers: high private rehab costs, limited public sector access, or long waiting times. At ASV, we’ve removed those barriers by creating a practical, affordable, and research-backed Rehab at Home program.
Our approach is built on the renowned Living in Balance model developed by Danya International and endorsed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in the USA. Recognised internationally for its evidence-based success, this model supports clients to rebuild their lives using structured, therapeutic tools proven to promote lasting recovery.
Professional Leadership
Led by Jason Bowman, who brings more than 15 years of experience managing alcohol and other drug services in both public and private sectors, ASV is grounded in professional excellence and lived understanding.
“The Living in Balance program gives individuals and their families access to affordable, flexible, and effective recovery support. Every day, we see people rebuilding their lives through connection, structure, and empathy.”
— Jason Bowman, Manager, ASV Drug and Alcohol Services Melbourne
Rehab at Home – Flexible Support That Works
At ASV, we know that effective recovery often happens best where people feel most comfortable — at home. Our Rehab at Home program offers private, evidence-based rehabilitation, delivered online or through direct clinician contact. Participants can begin their recovery journey quickly, with professional and medical support in place.
One of our clients shared:
“I’d been stuck in the same cycle for years. After talking with ASV, I started the program the next day. My GP supported me through detox, and a year later, I’m living proof that change is possible.”
— Daniel, ASV Client
Sustaining Long-Term Recovery
Addiction recovery is a process that takes time, effort, and ongoing support. As outlined by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), lasting recovery involves:
-
Abstinence – Breaking the physical dependency.
-
Relapse Prevention – Understanding triggers and developing healthy coping mechanisms.
-
Professional Treatment – Structured therapies such as CBT, motivational interviewing, and behaviour-focused interventions.
-
Support Networks – Involvement of family, peers, and professionals.
-
Medication (where required) – Assisting in managing withdrawal and cravings.
At ASV, we integrate each of these components into our treatment philosophy, helping individuals and families achieve long-term recovery and a renewed sense of purpose.

"Addiction recovery is a complex and multifaceted process; it is essential to understand the various components necessary to sustain it. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA, 2020), the components of addiction recovery include 1. Abstinence is often seen as the cornerstone of addiction recovery and involves abstaining from the use of the substance associated with the addiction. 2. Relapse prevention involves identifying and addressing the triggers that may lead to relapse and developing new coping strategies and supports to help prevent it. 3. Professional treatment: Professional treatment plays a vital role in addiction recovery and can include a variety of therapies and interventions, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and 12-step programs. 4. Support: Recovery from addiction cannot be achieved alone. Individuals in recovery need a robust support system of family, friends, and professionals to help them through the process. 5. Medication: In some cases, medication may be necessary to sustain recovery. Medications such as buprenorphine, naltrexone, and methadone can help individuals manage their addiction and reduce their risk of relapse." - Jason Bowman - ASV Melbourne Rehab Centres 2025.
