Detox can be one of the hardest parts of recovery, but it is that critical first step. We operate a private hospital in Geelong where you can begin our medically supervised inpatient detox program. You’ll be safe and secure with 24/7 care delivered by experienced addiction specialists.
This program is for people who need more than just time to recover — they need medical care, support with mental health, and a safe space to begin healing.
We help you feel physically safe, emotionally supported, and mentally clearer so you can get through withdrawal and start feeling more like yourself again.
You’re not left to manage this on your own. Our team is with you 24/7, guiding you through withdrawal with medication, structured daily therapy, and holistic support.
From the moment you arrive, you’re surrounded by a team that listens, supports, and responds. Every part of your stay is designed to help you feel safe, stabilised, and ready to begin again.
Every person is different, so your rehab program length may vary. We offer anything from a week-long short-stay to a 90-day or longer inpatient residence. But most people move through these key stages during their stay.
Unsure where to start? Take a self-assessment or book a time to chat – both are 100% confidential.
Your first two days focus on safety, clarity, and medical stabilisation, guided by a team of doctors, nurses, and psychologists.
This stage supports you as withdrawal symptoms peak. You’ll receive emotional support and symptom-focused care.
Once stabilised, you’ll begin the deeper emotional work through therapy, education, and holistic treatments.
For longer-stay clients, this stage focuses on building lasting foundations and preparing for your next step.
Most detox services focus on short stays or luxury appeal. We focus on medical care, long-term outcomes, and real change.
This short, confidential quiz takes less than two minutes and can help you make sense of what’s going on. Choose the category that feels most relevant to you — whether it’s alcohol, drugs, mental health, or a mix of concerns — and we’ll guide you through a few simple yes/no questions.
At the end, we’ll let you know if your answers suggest it might be time to consider rehab, and share safe, confidential options for getting started.
We’re upfront about costs because that’s what people deserve when planning for treatment. Whether you're self-funding or using private health insurance, we’ll help you understand what’s included and how to manage payments.
Total program costs
We offer 7, 14, 21, and 28-day inpatient programs, with extended stays available beyond that. Every plan is tailored to your needs and treatment goals.
Insurance coverage
Many clients with full private health insurance have the majority or full cost of their program covered. We'll check your level of cover and explore non-insurance solutions if needed.
Your final cost
Most clients pay an average gap or deposit of $1,990. This varies depending on your insurer and length of stay. Our team will walk you through the exact figure before you commit.

We know cost can be a barrier, so we offer a wide range of funding solutions to help you access the care you need when you need it most.
If you hold hospital cover with an eligible private health fund, much of your detox and treatment costs could be covered, sometimes leaving you with as little as $1,990 out of pocket.
Some clients choose to pay upfront or in instalments. We keep costs transparent and will work with you to make payment as manageable as possible.
You may be able to access your superannuation early on compassionate grounds to pay for hospital-based addiction treatment.
For clients who aren’t using insurance or super, we offer payment plans that make private detox more accessible. We’ll work with you to create a plan that suits your budget and your timeline.
Detoxing marks the beginning of a new commitment to sobriety. We focus on helping you feel safe, stable, and ready for what comes next, with care that adapts to your needs.
24/7 medical support in a licensed hospital built for safe withdrawal and recovery.
Therapeutic support starts early. You’ll learn about addiction, healing, and the next steps as you recover.
No one-size-fits-all — your stay is tailored to your needs, whether 7 days or 28.
We see you, not just your substance use. We offer you trust, dignity, and truly meaningful care.
We conduct a comprehensive medical and psychological assessment before admission to ensure you get the right care. We also support self-funded, insured, court-ordered, and DVA clients.
You don’t need a referral to enter hospital detox, but a pre-admission health check is required. This helps us tailor your withdrawal plan and make sure you’re safe to proceed. We can also support urgent admissions and help you navigate DVA, court orders, or superannuation access.
We’ve made it simple to begin. It starts with a phone call to our admissions team. From there, we’ll confirm your funding options, arrange your pre-admission assessment, and book your place, often within just a few days.
It starts with a call. No judgement. Just clear answers, real support, and a plan to help you take the first step toward feeling safe and well.
Take a quick, private quiz to see if rehab could help and explore safe support options.

Many of our staff have lived through addiction themselves, and every one of them brings genuine compassion, expertise, and warmth to your stay. You’ll never feel like just another patient.
Hospital detox is available exclusively at our Geelong facility — a licensed private hospital equipped for 24/7 medical care. It’s a safe, welcoming space with en suite rooms, therapy spaces, fitness amenities, and holistic treatment options designed to support withdrawal and stabilisation.
Our team is here 7 days a week to answer your questions and help you get started safely, with no referral needed.
Speak to someone who understands
No, you don’t need a referral to begin hospital detox at Hader Private. You can contact our admissions team directly for a free and confidential assessment. We’ll organise a pre-admission medical review to ensure you’re suitable for a medically supervised detox and tailor your admission to suit your availability. Our goal is to remove as many barriers as possible — so you can safely begin your recovery without delay. This is the first stage of your addiction rehabilitation recovery treatment program.
The length of detox depends on the substances used, how long you’ve been using them, and your overall health. Some clients require a short 7-day detox, while others may benefit from a 14, 28, or even 90-day residential drug and alcohol stay. We’ll work with you to recommend the safest and most effective length of detox based on your individual needs.
Yes. We accept most private health funds and can help you apply for early access to your super on compassionate grounds. Many of our clients use a combination of these options. Our team will guide you through the process and help check your eligibility, ensuring you can access care without unnecessary financial stress — whether you're funding a full treatment program or just the initial detox.
Absolutely. After detox, you can transition into one of our longer-term rehab programs, such as our residential or intensive outpatient offerings. You’ll also receive a tailored aftercare plan to continue your addiction recovery. We offer options like transitional housing, day program access, online support, and follow-up check-ins to help you stay on track.
Hader Private is licensed and equipped to treat clients with dual diagnosis, meaning we can support both substance use and mental health issues simultaneously. Our multidisciplinary team includes psychiatrists, psychologists, and addiction specialists who work together to deliver integrated, individual and tailored care.
Yes. We believe families play a critical role in long-term recovery. Our rehab clinic offers family counselling, education, and support during and after your stay. This helps rebuild trust, improve communication, and empower everyone involved in the journey — particularly those impacted by drug and alcohol addiction.
Bring comfortable clothes, basic toiletries, and any medications you’re currently taking. We recommend also packing a journal or reading materials that support your recovery. All aspects of the program — from meals to bedding — are taken care of, so you can focus entirely on your health.
We aim to minimise wait times as much as possible, especially for those in urgent need. In many cases, admissions can be arranged within a few days. The fastest way to secure a place is to contact our admissions team directly. Immediate admission may be possible for clients seeking day detox or urgent drug detox support.
