Kevin turns his life around at AdeleHouse K evin Corneck was a highly successful businessman working for a major company before alcohol and drugs took hold. He had lost it all: marriage, job, house and financial security. Kevin Corneck has rebuilt his life since completing the Adele House rehabilitation program.

“To admit that I had a problem that I couldn’t control and needed specialist care was a big fall from grace,’’ Kevin said. With some encouragement from friends, he decided to enter Adele House. “When I did enter Adele House, I felt like I could breathe again,’’ Kevin said. “It was the only thing that I had done in the last two years that I felt some pride in.’’ Kevin said the new facilities at Adele House made it a lot easier to adjust to a life of rehabilitation. “We have a really good gym, swimming pool and chef on site, lounges near our rooms and a communal area where we can socialise,’’ he said. “It is very good for your mental state, and this is conducive to a recovery lifestyle.’’ Kevin said he could see a future where he could recover, not fall back into drug and alcohol abuse, and reconnect with his family. After entering Adele House early in 2021, he has made giant strides. Kevin completed the program as well as a Certificate IV in Community Services. He is now in private rental accommodation in the Coffs Harbour community and is working as a Mental Health Support Worker in the Momentum Housing Program. He actively supports other Adele House clients who have transferred to the Coffs Harbour Community. Most importantly, Kevin now has regular contact with his three children.
