Ice drug rehab in Melbourne

Ice is an incredibly powerful stimulant, which means that it speeds up messages given and received by the brain. Whether ice is smoked, injected, or ingested by way of snorting or swallowing, the effects are felt quickly and powerfully. The euphoria fades rapidly, leading many to consume several doses within a short time.

With the short term effects of ice comes a plethora of negative consequences in the short and long term, which can be devastating for physical and mental health. Increase used translates to physical dependency, often leading to complete inability to function without the drug.

There is no such thing as a 'typical' or 'common' ice addict. Addiction can affect anyone, from all walks of life, at any time. It's important to understand that addiction is an illness. Nobody chooses to become an addict. However, they can choose to enter ice drug rehabilitation.

This is why, at The Hader Clinic, we tailor all of our meth rehab treatment plans to the addict. We take an in-depth look at how ice is affecting your life, and how we can help you overcome your addiction as efficiently and effectively as possible. Every addict is different, and so is every treatment plan.

Addiction has nothing to do with intelligence. Ice is incredibly addictive, releasing over 1250 units of dopamine into the body, compared to the mere 50 released by eating food. The human brain is effectively powerless compared to the manufactured pleasure provided by ice.

Try to see ice addiction as an affliction, rather than a decision. We treat addicts from all walks of life, helping them find the right way forward from ice addiction. Our treatment plans, from detox and withdrawal, to ongoing support to prevent relapse, work to help addicts break free.

Due to the physical and psychological dangers of ice, and the harmful consequences that accompany it, many long term users seek treatment for ice addiction. However, it is true that ice addicts are also among the most at risk for relapse. This does not mean that ice addiction cannot be treated. At The Hader Clinic, we focus on supporting long term recovery from addiction.

Our Outpatient Relapse Prevention program assists patients in adjusting to their new life free from ice by offering them similar therapies to those they experienced while living at The Hader Clinic. With this ongoing support, patients continually revisit their reasons for sobriety, and are reminded that they are capable of a life outside of addiction.
