Drug and alcohol addiction rehab services

Alcohol and other drug treatment refers to a broad spectrum of care, from counselling and day programs to medically supported detox and outpatient recovery support.

Residential rehabilitation is different. It involves living on-site in a structured program for a set period of time. This allows for round-the-clock care, therapeutic consistency, and greater immersion in the recovery process.

At The Hader Clinic, our residential rehab programs combine clinical support, peer connection, and a safe therapeutic environment.

Deciding between inpatient and outpatient care is a big step. We’ve broken down the key differences in our guide on choosing between inpatient and outpatient rehab.

Yes — we support people with and without private health cover. While some clients use a health fund, many others access our AOD services through different funding options, including:

• Self-funding or family support
• Early superannuation access
• Interest-free payment plans

If you're unsure what’s available, our team can help you explore rehab funding options or review your likely treatment costs.

We understand that funding and support are important at every stage of recovery. You can learn more in our guide on managing addiction after rehabilitation.

Withdrawal services (also known as detox) are most effective when delivered in a medically supervised environment — particularly for substances like alcohol, GHB, opioids, or benzodiazepines.

At our accredited private hospital in Geelong, clients receive 24/7 medical care, comfort medication, psychological support, and close clinical monitoring. This model reduces risk and improves outcomes for people who need a safe entry point into rehab.

Our withdrawal care is based on best-practice clinical protocols and includes planning for transition into ongoing treatment.

Absolutely. We work with people of all ages and stages — including young people who need early support for drug and alcohol use.

Programs for younger clients typically focus on:

• Early intervention and education
• Emotional regulation and relapse prevention
• Building confidence and healthy decision-making

We believe it’s never too early — or too late — to start the journey to recovery.

Our Transitional Housing Program provides supported accommodation for people stepping down from inpatient care. It’s a key component of our residential drug rehabilitation model, helping clients stabilise and prepare for reintegration.

Clients live in shared housing with:

• Daily routines and structure
• Ongoing case management
• Access to continued counselling and support
