About us
At ASV, we provide more than hope for those affected by Addiction. We create lasting opportunities for individuals and families to achieve positive transformation through our evidence-based treatment programs, which promote rehabilitation with the latest research findings. Our Family Support Program is essential to this process, ensuring a holistic approach that encourages long-term recovery success!
Since 2015, we have worked diligently towards delivering on this mission by utilising what science has taught us about Addiction - that it's a complex condition shaped by changes in brain function and behaviour. We empower those affected to break free from their circumstances so they can embrace freedom once more!
"With the right understanding of the complex interplay between the psychological, biological and environmental factors driving addictive behaviours and patterns - it can be treated effectively." - Jason Bowman - ASV Melbourne Rehabilitation Center 2023.

Accessible treatment – access to appropriate supports and treatment for alcohol and drug misuse, dependence or Addiction should be affordable and within reach of people who seek it when they need it.
Individuality – people respond best to support when their addiction treatment and recovery plan is achievable, flexible and tailored specifically for them.
Families – families of people experiencing addictions need support and understanding. People are more likely to recover from Addiction when their family is well-informed, supportive and supportable.
Community – connection and a sense of belonging are essential to a life worth living.
"It is with deep appreciation that I try to articulate the immense impact ASV Rehab's at Home program has had on my life and those of my loved ones. Before beginning this journey, it would be an understatement to say that things were far from perfect; Addiction was priority number one in place of family and a business I'd managed for two decades. The consequences were incomprehensible- stretching farther than any financial losses could ever reach - everything cherished meant something else entirely now. Thankfully the strength found within ASV allowed me to continue taking care of both family and company while committing myself fully towards recovery, herewith leading me back down a path worth living for again." - Anon 2021
