Contact usYour sobriety journey begins in Geelong
The first steps towards sobriety for any person with a substance use disorder are crucial for setting the stage for long-term recovery. The simple reality of addiction is that some people will need to take these first steps more than once. That’s why we developed our Geelong facility.
Our Geelong centre is dedicated to our 28-day Withdrawal & Detox Program. Here, we will care for you in a safe, secure environment. You’ll be tended to by experienced addiction withdrawal counsellors and medical specialists.
We can say with absolute certainty that the foundation we build with you here will give you the best possible chance to rebuild a healthy, safe life. We know this, because many in our team have overcome addiction themselves, and they took their first steps right here.
Honest feedback from real people
These five-star reviews reflect the voices of people who felt genuinely seen, heard, and cared for, not just during treatment, but in how they were treated as human beings.
Recently had an excellent experience at Hader in Geelong. The private rooms with ensuites were clean, comfortable, and gave me the personal space I needed during my stay rather than sharing a room like I had in the past at other facilities. The meals were genuinely good cooked for us every week night. fresh, tasty, and much better than cooking your own meals. The weekend activities were a real highlight too. They kept us engaged and gave a nice balance between recovery work and actually enjoying the downtime. The whole program felt well thought out and supportive. Thank you to everyone who helped get me clean. Glad to see there is a place out there that genuinely cares

We found Hader Clinic as an option for my Rehabilitation through a Google search & picked it because of the 5 star rating, so I think it’s only fair that I share my review with the fantastic journey I experienced with Hader Clinic, Geelong. I was going into Rehab not knowing what to expect… What an experience!!! From the Nursing Staff, Doctors & Clinical Psychologists, to Recovery Coaches, Family Counsellor, Program Management & General Manager & Owner of The Hader Clinic, Geelong… I cannot thank them enough for the dedication, Love & Support they give for Recovery. I feel I got everything I could possibly need and some to continue my journey in recovery for the rest of my life. From the day I walked into the clinic to 28 days later - I can honestly say I can feel the change in myself… I have started to find myself again & I feel confident enough leaving today & going into Transition at The Hader Clinic Essendon, that I can smash my recovery because of every single person I had contact with at the clinic. Thank you to all & I Highly Recommend The Hader Clinic Geelong, to anyone that reads this review & Good Luck!!! The programme offered is nothing short of AMAZING. Although some days can be hard, the programme is there for a reason so the programme works if you work it. You are worth it so work it!!!! Namaste xxx

But these services offer more than comfort. They’ll help you understand your addiction and prepare you for more focused therapies, which will be the next step in your recovery journey should you wish to continue with us.

Our values
As we mentioned above, most of our team have battled addiction and achieved long-term sobriety themselves. Our director, Richard Smith, battled heroin addiction for over a decade. Recovery isn’t theoretical to us. We know what it takes to beat an addiction.
Credibility
We strive to be the most credible in our industry. The Hader Clinic has operated for over 20 years. Our staff are medical professionals and registered clinicians, and we are fully accredited.
Immediacy
If you reach out to us, we will respond immediately. We know there’s always a narrow window of opportunity in which people with an addiction will accept help — call, and we’ll be there.
Inclusiveness
A holistic approach to treatment is the only way to do it. We provide more than just medical detox; we provide physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and spiritual guidance tailored to each resident.
Continuity
You’ll only be spending a month with us in Geelong, but recovery is a lifelong process. Even after your inpatient stay, we’ll provide you with ongoing support to help you stay clean.
Going through detox takes courage. We’ve got your back.
How severe your withdrawals will be will depend on the depth of your addiction. But it’s hard even when it’s easy. But you won’t go through a second of it alone. We’re not going to lock you in a room till you sober up — we’ll work with you to figure out exactly what you need. Here’s what you can expect:
- Dual diagnosis (mental health) treatment
- Twelve-step facilitation
- Psychosocial educational groups
- Peer support groups
- Sports, recreation, and massage
Meet the team
Compassion and experience guide everything we do, including who we charge to care for you. Our management team, nurses, recovery coaches — every one of us has been personally touched by addiction or spent years understanding it.
