It provides alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment services to adults in the Illawarra region of NSW, including individuals with co-occurring substance use and mental health issues, those who are pregnant (up to 26 weeks, low-risk), clients on suboxone, and interstate referrals. The core clinical offering is a residential treatment program based on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy as the primary modality, supplemented by ACT, DBT, psychodynamic therapies, Attachment Theory, Family Systems Theory, Gestalt Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Positive Psychology, delivered by a multidisciplinary team of Psychologists, Counsellors, Case Managers, and Support Workers.

KRS operates an Illawarra Treatment Facility in Berkeley with capacity for up to 14 residents plus 2 aftercare/re-access beds and 2 day-program spaces, and runs a centralized Community Access Centre for triage, screening, assessment, outpatient counselling, and admission. The product surface includes Individual Counselling, Case Management (housing, employment, education, Work Development Order support), in-person and online Group Therapy, Family Engagement, and Continued Care/Aftercare. Revenue is generated from three streams: State and Federal Government grants, client treatment fees (weekly contributions of $250–$355 plus administration and exit fees), and tax-deductible public donations. Go-to-market is referral-driven via the Community Access Centre, supported by an organic website and a Facebook page; student placement partnerships with ACAP, University of Wollongong, Macquarie University, and TAFE North Sydney Institute also function as a clinical workforce pipeline and brand channel. KRS is governed by a Board of Directors and has no parent company, external shareholders, or funding rounds on record.
