Drug Addiction Treatment | Drug Addiction Services

Holistic treatment for drug addiction

Drug addiction is a multi-layered illness that can permeate through every facet of life. It isn't relegated to people of low intelligence. There is no such thing as a 'functioning' addict. People don't 'grow out' of addiction. As a specialist drug addiction treatment facility, The Hader Clinic understands these misconceptions, and works with patients to overcome the trials that they are facing.

Effective drug addiction treatment means treating the individual, and their specific needs. Substances affect people in unique ways. Our holistic treatments for drug addiction have been designed with different elements, programs, and costs, all geared towards the single-minded focus of breaking the cycle of addiction.

Our programs

The Hader Clinic explains how addicts are not able to predict how much they are going to use once they start using or control their use.

Physical

The physical consequences of drug addiction run deep beneath the skin. The symptoms our drug addiction treatment addresses include:

Unhealthy eating habits and malnutrition
Compromised immune system
Severe, permanent dental issues
Reproductive damage and infertility
Respiratory failure from smoking
Irreparable damage to vital organs
Permanent brain and heart damage
Increased tolerance and cravings

Psychological

Drug addiction can take a severe toll on mental health in both the short term and the long term. Professional help for drug addiction considers:

Long term memory loss
Reduced intellectual capacity
Psychosis and hallucinations
Obsession and compulsion
Decreased emotional function
Higher response to triggers
Personal denial and compulsive lying

Emotional

Drug addiction affects brain chemistry, and can have a severe impact on emotional responses. Emotional effects include:

Apathy and loneliness
Dissociation and disconnection
Depression and anxiety
Mood swings and aggression
Fear and paranoia
Extreme exhaustion

Social

Drug addiction can cause addicts to abandon their most intimate connections. Our treatment for drug addiction helps patients address their:

Increase in risky behaviour
Sexual and romantic issues
Lack of interest in hobbies and activities
Abandonment of work and education
Pathological lying to others
Stress on family relationship
Financial hardship

Spiritual

Severe addiction can deeply erode an addicts sense of self. Spiritual treatment for drug addiction alleviates the consequences of that erosion, including:

Lack of personal confidence
Destruction of self-worth and self-esteem
Complete inability to function without drugs
Damaged view of self
Lack of interest or connection with life

We work with private health funds to support our patients.

Understanding drug addiction withdrawals

Withdrawal is the process of the body detoxing itself after continued drug use. Physical and psychological dependencies on drugs vary by severity. They can be influenced by how long an addict has been using, what kind of drugs they are addicted to, and the method of withdrawal. Drugs like alcohol, GHB, and prescription medication can have potentially lethal side effects during withdrawal.

The Hader Clinic offers a safe, nurturing environment for patients to overcome withdrawal as they progress through drug addiction treatment. As well as our holistic care approach, we can provide medically-assisted detoxification, fully supervised by a team of medical specialists. Our treatment gives patients the best possible chance of ongoing success.

My loved one is a smart person. How did they get addicted to drugs?

Addiction has nothing to do with intelligence. It doesn’t discriminate. It affects a broad cross-section of society, and afflicts people of all ages, ethnicities, and social statuses. It is a normal and common illness. Fortunately, help for drug addiction is just as common as the illness itself.

I use drugs, but I'm not an addict. What about us functioning users?

The "high functioning addict" is a common oxymoron that we come across. As a “High functioning addicts” you think you are able to work and function in society. But, in reality, your relationships, your finances, and your connection with your family are likely already eroding. The sooner you accept help for drug addiction, the sooner those relationships can be repaired.

Can I get out after I've been detoxed?

It's not as simple as getting clean and getting out. Our 28-Day Detox and Withdrawal Program is not a treatment for drug addiction — it merely treats the physical symptoms. The underlying social, emotional, psychological, and spiritual issues remain, below the surface. That's why The Hader Clinic practices a holistic model of care when approaching ongoing drug addiction treatment.

My brother in law was an ice addict for 5 years. We found The Hader Clinic through searching online on google. We called the clinic and made an appointment. The staff was helping us a lot to understand better about an addict. My brother in law did the ninety days program and has been cleaned ever since. The staffs are very helpful and I really recommend The Hader for your love one.

Over the past 2 years I have referred 3 clients to The Hader Clinic and all of them successfully completed the program and are now back and getting on with their lives. Jackson and his team are caring professionals who understand addiction.

After struggling for numerous years with my ice addiction and having no hope left and the realization that my life had become unmanageable. I reached out to my family who wanted the best possible treatment for me. After researching residential programs my family discovered the Hadar W omens Retreat. The truth is for me, I didn't believe that i could stop using or that change was possible. After entering treatment and participating in the daily program, I gained a second chance at life. I came into treatment at the retreat for 3 months and continued on to the transitioning accommodation in an supportive therapeutic community, I also continued on to Intensive outpatient, I completed 1 year of treatment. I know for myself that the Hadar Clinic has changed my life, today I'm able to live a drug free lifestyle with education on my drug addiction and addictive behaviors. Today I'm able to be a daughter, Aunty and sister to my loved ones and have managed to stay clean for 20 months. I'm grateful for all the ongoing support that I received in treatment at my time in the Hader Clinic.

I struggled with drug addiction and many other addictive behaviours for the majority of my life and I couldnt see a way out of that life style, I thought I was destined to be like this for ever. This wasn't until I went to The Hader Clinic 22 and half months ago where they provided me with a safe environment to deal with my drug addiction and life struggles I had been experiencing. Having other clients who have go through similar struggles as I was experiencing, this really helped me identify that there are people out there with the same struggles I've been having who could help me.The constant support I received from the professionally trained support staff and professional counselors I was able to see a new way of life for the first time in my life, A life without out drugs and alcohol seemed possible. Thanks to The Hader Clinic after doing 1 year of treatment which consisted of 3 months of residential treatment and 9 months of a half way program Ive got a new out look on life and I've been clean from all mood and mind altering substances since entering treatment 22 and half months ago.

I learnt at The Hader clinic that i needed to set boundaries with my loved one and their addiction. I could stop enabling and being part of their addiction, separating my love for them and my disgust in the addiction. the Hader clinic gave us as a family a clear pathway to recover as an entire family and my partner who spent 10 years slowly destroying himself and his family - is now 3 years clean, working full-time and most importantly a great dad. Thanks to Jackson, Richard and the team at the Hader Clinic. We are all very grateful.

The Hader Clinic taught me how to maintain recovery not just get clean. After 15 years battling addiction I’d given up on treatment services and I’d given up on myself. I’d been in several reputable rehabs which helped me to clean up for a while but it never lasted. When I got to Hader I was out of ideas. Their program saved my life. And helped me fundamentally change my life. Through a tough program, led by staff who’ve all lived the horrors of addiction, I was forced to finally confront my demons. They loved me through the pain and then showed me a way out of the isolation of my addiction. Most of all I got a new perspective on the journey of recovery and what it really takes to live life again after addiction. Forever indebted to the Clinic for its gift of recovery.

12 months ago our family had run out of options. Our daughter had been addicted for years and we had tried everything to help her. We feared the worst was going to happen at anytime. A late night phone call to The Hader Clinic changed all our lives. Our daughter was admitted the next day and spent 3 months in The Hader program. 12 months on and we just celebrated a year clean and sober!! Thank you to the team at The Hader Clinic.

Trish

I came into the Hader Clinic emotionally & physically exhausted & at my lowest point in life. With the love & support of my family especially my brother they wanted the best possible treatment for me as a struggling addict and found the Hader Clinic. I did intensive treatment for 3 months at the Women’s retreat & continued therapy at a transitional accommodation for another 3 months. It was tough because I dealt with raw emotions & feelings that I usually would suppress with my addiction. In the 6 months that I was at the Hader Clinic I participated in my treatment with the support & help of the staff & the community. It’s not easy & there will be many challenges where it will bring the best & the worst in you...however it’s worth fighting the demons within you. It’s a life changing experience. I’ve learnt to build a solid foundation & been clean 2 years & 10 months continuing...no amount of money can replace that. My loved ones have me back in their life’s.. more understanding with gratitude in my heart. Thank you again to the staff & community at the Hader Clinic.

This place saved my life. 7 years clean today!! Couldn't have done it without starting out at Hader. It may seem challenging at first, but this program works - long term! I am living proof of this. Thank u again

I cannot recommend The Hader Clinic enough. This is the rehab I chose when my husband was struggling with drug addiction. The support, professionalism and respect shown to both my husband and I is second to none. I cannot thank this place enough. 2 years on, not only has my husband gained a clean start at life again but has also found lifelong friends and a fantastic support network to help him continue on this path. Well done to all the staff. Results and success rates speak for themselves.
