Tailored rehabilitation treatments for every stage

Each program is built to serve a specific need, from withdrawal to long-term reintegration. Whether you’re beginning or continuing recovery, there’s a guided path forward.

ADHD

ADHD can make addiction harder to treat but with the right structure, support, and care, recovery is absolutely possible.

Anger Management

Uncontrolled anger and substance use often go hand in hand. We help clients understand the root of their behaviour, rebuild control, and recover for good.

Anxiety

Rehab for substance abuse and anxiety treatment

Bipolar

Bipolar disorder is complex, especially when addiction is also in the picture. Our inpatient rehab program supports people with bipolar disorder using proven treatment options that address both.

Depression

We support people experiencing depression and addiction with evidence-based, compassionate treatment. Our inpatient program offers integrated support for mental health, substance use, and the stressors behind both.

Domestic Violence

Supportive, trauma-informed addiction rehab for people affected by intimate partner violence (IPV), past or present.

OCD

Obsessive-compulsive disorder and substance use can reinforce each other in ways that make everyday life feel unmanageable. But recovery is possible with the right kind of care.

Personality disorder

Borderline personality disorder and addiction often go hand in hand. Both can be overwhelming, but with the right treatment, recovery is possible. You do not have to face it alone.

PTSD

Evidence-based care for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and addiction. We help people stabilise, reprocess trauma, and build a safer, more connected life.

Schizophrenia

Rehab for schizophrenia requires specialised, integrated care. We treat psychotic symptoms, stabilise mental health, and help people manage addiction together.

Have a wonderful experience with the Hader clinic crew! I’ve suffered with dual diagnosis for many years. The Hader Clinic is known for its exceptional reputation. When I first contacted the Hader Clinic, I was greeted with understanding, respect & compassion , thank you Silvana. When I arrived at the Hader Clinic, I was anxious & overwhelmed, the staff were compassionate & provided me with hope. The program & staff have saved my life. I cannot thank the team enough. I’ve completed 28 nights at Hader Private, what an achievement, I’ve transitioned to secondary care at Hader Rehab Essendon. Thank you Elliot, Jacqueline & the team for providing me with a second chance at life. Due to this program, my family are able to accept me for who I am, due to all the family support that they have been provided with. I highly recommend the Hader Clinic to those who are struggling with mental health & addiction.

Hader has been a godsend. After more than twenty admissions across eleven different services over six years, we’ve finally found a service that actually talks to us as carers and keeps us across what is happening for our young adult child. They have been responsible and honest all the way. Our young adult is dual diagnosis and can be extremely challenging but Hader hasn’t given up on them. I must single out Jacki without whom our young person couldn’t have come so far. She is an amazing individual with so much compassion, insight and professionalism. Jacki has been so committed to our young person even when others have wanted to give up - she has not. She has an amazing ability to explain (from lived experience combined with her qualifications) what they are going through and what it means in terms of the stage of their recovery journey. She is batting for them and believes in them. More importantly, she has been there for them - when they have wanted to leave , when they have left and been re-admitted and when they are considering next steps. Our young person’s journey is still ongoing and we want to thank Jacki and all the Hader staff including the medical team for their unwaivering commitment to their values and professional code Hader is an alternative to the mainstream private system, I’m so relieved we found them.
