Facilities and locations
We offer two purpose-built treatment facilities designed for safety, privacy, and healing. Each space is designed to feel calm, lived in, and gently structured.
If you need help right now, we’ll get you in. Our emergency rehab services offer fast admission, medical support, and real recovery care when everything feels urgent.
Take a self-assessment or speak to someone now, with no pressure to commit.


When things fall apart, you shouldn't have to wait. If you're saying, "I need help now," we'll move fast. Emergency rehab is for anyone who can’t wait for support. We've taken people in the same day they called. We know how hard that first call can be. Many of us have made that call too.
Our team includes people who’ve sat in that same chair, trying to believe this might work. That’s why we do everything we can to open our doors quickly and make you feel safe when you walk through them.
Emergency care isn’t just about stopping use. It’s about stabilising, feeling safe again, and being treated with genuine care. We create a calm space to rest, breathe, and start healing.
According to the latest findings from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, more than 10 million people in Australia aged 14 and over have used illicit drugs at some point in their life. That number includes the non-medical use of pharmaceuticals. And for many, that use becomes a crisis. At The Hader Clinic, we see the painful human reality behind these numbers. People who are scared, overwhelmed, and unsure where to turn for help.
An emergency isn’t just about overdose or violence. If you’re scared you can’t stop, can’t cope, or might use again soon, that’s enough. We take it seriously.
There’s no perfect checklist, but some moments tend to stand out.
You’ll speak to someone real, not a recording. We’ll ask a few basic questions to understand where you’re at, then explain your options clearly.
We aim to admit emergency clients within 24 hours. We’ll always prioritise safety and help you stabilise while waiting.
Emergency stays are usually short, but they’re not the end. They’re a starting point. We’ll help you stabilise, then connect you with next steps.
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, 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’ll help you understand what’s needed: medical detox, inpatient care, or something else.
You’ll be met by staff who’ve been where you are. No judgment. Just calm, clear help.
We’re here whenever you’re ready – book a call or speak to someone now.
Our emergency rehab isn’t a holding cell. It’s not a stopgap. It’s the first safe place in a long time and a launchpad for real recovery.
The Hader Clinic is accredited under the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards, governed by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (ACSQHC).





After a short-term emergency admission, you may be ready for something more structured. We offer a full continuum of care, tailored to your needs and stage of recovery.

We track outcomes honestly because we want people to trust what we say. Here’s what we’ve seen in clients who’ve come through our emergency rehab pathway.
If it feels urgent, it is. Don’t wait for things to get worse. We’re here to listen, respond, and help you take that first brave step.
Take a quick, private quiz to see if rehab could help and explore safe support options.
Schedule a confidential call with a specialist at a time that suits you.
Speak to someone immediately for guidance and support.
We know cost can be one of the biggest barriers to care. That’s why we’re open about pricing and offer options to help you access support. Whether you're paying privately or exploring funding help, we’ll walk you through it with honesty and care.
We’ll explain the full cost of emergency care upfront, including detox, medications, and accommodation, so you can plan without surprises.
You may be eligible for Supercare access, early release of superannuation, or other support pathways. We’ll help you understand what’s possible.
We don’t just bring clinical knowledge. We bring lived experience, real empathy, and an unwavering commitment to showing up. Every staff member here has chosen this work for a reason, and you’ll feel that from the first moment.


The Hader Clinic is built on the belief that recovery is possible for anyone, no matter how far gone things may feel. We don’t do quick fixes or empty promises. We do honest, grounded, evidence-based support from people who understand.
Whether you’re looking for help or trying to support someone you love, the first step is often the hardest. You don’t need to do it alone. We offer clear, compassionate guidance for both.
You just need to talk to someone who’s been through it. That’s what we’re here for.
Speak to someone who understands
In many cases, you can be admitted the same day you reach out. Our emergency rehab service is designed to move quickly because we know that when someone is ready, the window to act can be short. Once you call, we’ll talk through what’s happening, assess your needs, and organise your admission as fast as possible. We have support staff available 24/7 to respond to urgent enquiries.
If we have space and you’re ready, we’ll get you here without delay. If not, we’ll help you find the next best step to stay safe and supported in the meantime.
Yes. You don’t have to be clean or sober before you arrive. In fact, many people come to us while actively using or immediately after a binge. We’re equipped to support people in crisis, including those under the influence or in withdrawal.
If you need a medical detox, we’ll arrange that as part of your admission. Our clinical and counselling teams will support you through the first hours and days with care, calm, and experience. All we ask is that you reach out. You don’t need to “get ready” first.
Relapse doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It means something wasn’t working, and it’s worth trying again with the right support. Many of our clients have been through previous rehab attempts and come to us feeling discouraged, ashamed, or afraid they won’t be taken seriously. We understand.
We’ll work with you to understand what’s different this time, and what needs to change.
Yes. Our emergency rehab program is designed to support people living with complex mental health conditions and trauma histories. Many of our clients arrive with overlapping issues like anxiety, depression, PTSD, or undiagnosed trauma. We’re equipped to meet you there, without judgment.
We offer:
We also provide integrated support for a wide range of mental health conditions:
You don’t need a formal diagnosis to be taken seriously here. If you’re struggling, we’ll meet you with care.
No. You don’t need a referral, a doctor’s note, or any formal paperwork to access emergency rehab. If you’re in crisis or someone you care about needs help urgently, you can contact us directly. We’ll listen, ask a few grounding questions to understand what’s happening, and talk you through what comes next. Our job is to remove barriers — not create them.
It’s devastating to watch someone you love lose control and push away help. If they’re not ready to engage, it doesn’t mean you’re powerless. You can reach out for support yourself, to understand your options, to plan the next conversation, and to protect your own well-being while they struggle. You might find this guide on how to convince someone to go to rehab a helpful starting point. Even if they’re not ready, you can be.
Yes, we do. If someone is resistant or unable to get here on their own, we can help with both structured interventions and transport arrangements. Our interventions program supports families in holding difficult conversations with care, and our team can coordinate safe, supported admission if your loved one is ready to enter rehab.
