Stay Sober Longer With a Personalised Recovery Program
We are Australasia’s Only Approved Provider of the Kelly Foundation Recovery Dynamics® Program
Here at Keystone Lodge, we offer one of the most comprehensive and personalised treatment programs in the country. We are proud to be the only approved provider of the Kelly Foundation Recovery Dynamics® Program in Australasia, a structured and internationally recognised approach to addiction recovery. Our treatment model combines this proven framework with the traditional AA program and client-specific therapy delivered by our in-house psychologist. This ensures every person receives a tailored and clinically informed pathway to long-term recovery.
Keystone Lodge 3 Pillar Program
Every client who enters Keystone Lodge receives a personalised plan built around three clinical pillars:
The Kelly Program (Recovery Dynamics®)
As the sole Australasian provider, we offer full access to this respected, step-by-step addiction treatment model. Recovery Dynamics® is a structured 12-Step facilitation program designed to work alongside other therapeutic approaches. It was created to address a major gap in addiction treatment: many services referenced the 12 Steps, but very few provided a clear, guided method for clients to learn them and put them into meaningful action. As a result, people often left treatment with only a brief introduction—without the tools needed for long-term recovery.
The creators of Recovery Dynamics® developed a complete curriculum to change that. The program helps clients understand addiction, learn the solution, and take practical steps during treatment. It also gives counsellors a consistent framework for guiding clients through the full 12-Step process. In simple terms, the Kelly Program ensures no one leaves treatment unprepared—giving every client a real chance at sustained recovery.
Recovery Dynamics® focuses on: Building life skills, Personal responsibility, Emotional resilience, and Achievable recovery milestones. Its structured design provides a clear, reliable roadmap for lasting sobriety.
Traditional AA and 12-Step Philosophy
We integrate key AA principles that help clients:
Build healthy routines
Develop self-awareness
Strengthen connection and support networks
Maintain accountability
This foundation has supported millions of people worldwide in achieving lasting recovery.

“Best thing I ever did in my life!”
“When I contacted Damon at Keystone Lodge, I had been dealing with various forms of addiction since my teenage years. I had come to a point where, even though I was prepared to do anything to stop, I could not imagine living my life completely sober forever, and I could certainly not have imagined how much better my life could be if I was sober.
I had never been to a rehab before, but I can say with conviction that Keystone Lodge sits right up there in terms of the care, the quality and the efficacy of the treatment it offers.
The quality of life, happiness, and spiritual peace I have found now is beyond anything I could have ever thought of achieving. I would recommend Damon and his team to anyone looking to improve their lives through sobriety, either for those who have reached rock bottom or simply those who have just realized life is better without any substance but are struggling to let go.
— Peter, Keystone Lodge Client
