Transformations was founded on the Gold Coast in 1999 by CEO and former drug addict Michael Barrett. Being set free from long term addiction himself, Michael had a dream in his heart to use his own experience and knowledge to help his fellow addicts find real freedom. Starting with a small halfway house in Surfers Paradise Michael began the journey of creating a safe space for addicts to find love, purpose and hope. Over the next 10 years Transformations developed a holistic, evidence based program with the capacity to turn broken lives around breaking the cycle of addiction for good.
