As well as residential programs, it also operates community outreach programs throughout the NSW Mid-North Coast and NSW Northern Rivers Regions.
Alternatively, the Buttery Private Wellbeing Program is a social enterprise of The Buttery and is an early intervention for people who are still functioning well enough but who suffer from symptoms of anxiety, depression and other mental health issues.

All Buttery programs are evidence-based and represent best-practice. The Buttery is an independent, community-based charitable organisation. The Buttery is not affiliated with any religious or political group.
The Buttery’s programs in the community cover a wide area in northern NSW. These are: INTRA for adults and teenagers with drug and alcohol abuse problems; CORE a day-stay rehab program in Lismore, Byron Bay and Tweed Heads; the Young People’s Alcohol & Other Drugs Early Intervention Project in the Bellingen and Grafton areas; b.well an outreach service for teenagers and adults with mental health and substance abuse issues; Partners in Recovery for people with long-term mental health issues (operated in conjunction with Mission Australia) and The Northern Rivers Gambling Counselling Service.
