Testimonials from patients and families

I struggled with drug addiction and addictive behaviours for the majority of my life. I couldn't see a way out of that lifestyle. I went to The Hader Clinic, where they provided me with a safe environment to deal with the drug addiction and life struggles I had been experiencing.

Through the constant support I received from the professionally trained support staff and counsellors,  I was able to see a new way of life for the first time — a life without out drugs and alcohol finally seemed possible. After 1 year of treatment, which consisted of 3 months of residential treatment, and 9 months of a halfway program, I've got a new outlook on life.

I came into The Hader Clinic emotionally & physically exhausted & at my lowest point in life. I did intensive treatment for 3 months at the women’s retreat and continued therapy at a transitional accommodation for another 3 months.

In the 6 months that I was at the Hader Clinic I participated in my treatment with the support and help of the staff and the community. It’s a life changing experience. I’ve learnt to build a solid foundation. I've been clean for almost 3 years. My loved ones have me back in their lives, with gratitude in my heart.

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, until I found The Hader Clinic.

Through a tough program, led by staff who’ve all lived the horrors of addiction, I was forced to finally confront my demons. They 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.

After struggling for many years with my ice addiction, I came to the realisation that my life had become unmanageable. 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 to the transitioning accommodation in an supportive, therapeutic community. I also continued on  to the intensive outpatient program and completed 1 year of treatment. 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 behaviours.
