Services We Offer
We offer mental health respite and supervised drug and alcohol withdrawal and rehabilitation in conjunction with complementary therapies. Our qualified medical practitioner will have an appointment with you before your arrival to make sure you have the right medication for your withdrawal process. Symptoms of withdrawal, such as pain, insomnia, anxiety and nausea, can all be alleviated with the right medication. Our trained staff are here to support you through this phase and assist with your medication regime to keep you safe and well.
It’s also important to take time out and relax during your withdrawal process and rehabilitation. Patients can participate in yoga, meditation, art therapy and dance classes. We also offer patients regular massage, exercise, swimming (ocean or pool), light physical activity, nutrition, social activities and rest.
The Intake Process
Our trained staff will organise an intake assessment over the phone within 24 hours. From this discussion, you and our supervisor will together create a plan for your admission ASAP. Our intake days are Mondays if you require a drug and alcohol withdrawal program. If you have already detoxed, admission can be any weekday. We stay in touch with you over the phone leading up to your arrival to help you stay on track.
Before your arrival, you will need a doctor’s clearance letter to say you are medically fit for detox if you are needing a withdrawal program. Our prescriber will then organise a medical assessment appointment to discuss your medication needs offsite before your arrival. Your medication is kept securely during your withdrawal program.

Gold Coast Rehab Center FAQ
What is the difference between detox and rehab?
Detox is the first step. It clears alcohol or drugs from your system and manages withdrawal with medical support. This stage is short and focused on safety and comfort. Rehab follows detox and builds the skills for long term recovery. You will explore triggers, learn coping tools, rebuild routines, and plan for life after treatment through therapy, groups, education, and practical supports.
How long does a rehab program usually take?
Length depends on your goals, health, and responsibilities. Many people choose 28 days, while others stay 60 to 90 days for deeper work. Shorter options are available, and day or outpatient programs suit those who need more flexibility. Your team will guide the decision after assessment. Aftercare continues support once you return home, so your recovery plan does not stop at discharge.
Is treatment private and confidential?
Yes. Your information is protected under privacy law and our strict policies. Enquiries, assessments, and treatment details remain confidential. We only speak with family, a GP, or an employer when you give written consent. Records are stored securely, and admissions are handled discreetly. You can trust that your care, conversations, and progress stay between you and your clinical team.
Do you offer alcohol detox on the Gold Coast?
Yes. We provide medically supervised alcohol detox on site with nursing care 24 seven and access to doctors. Withdrawal is carefully monitored, and approved medications may be used to ease symptoms and reduce risks. You will rest in a calm setting while we plan your next stage of treatment. Once you are stable, you can step straight into rehab for ongoing support.
Can family members be involved in the recovery process?
Family can be a powerful part of recovery when it is safe and helpful. With your consent, we invite loved ones to take part in education, counselling, and structured sessions. The focus is on clear communication, healthy boundaries, and practical ways to support change. We also offer guidance for families on caring for themselves while you focus on treatment.
What therapies are offered during rehab?
Programs blend evidence based therapies with practical life skills. You may take part in cognitive behavioural therapy, motivational interviewing, dialectical strategies, trauma informed care, mindfulness, and relapse prevention. One to one counselling sits alongside group work, psychoeducation, fitness, nutrition support, and creative therapies. Plans are tailored so you engage in the approaches that match your goals and learning style.
Do you provide aftercare and relapse prevention support?
Yes. Relapse prevention starts during your stay, with proven tools and skills to navigate recovery. An Aftercare Package of 10 counselling sessions is available to support your first few months at home. You can access support through targeted telehealth or in-person counselling. We coordinate with your GP or psychologist when you want that link. The aim is steady support as you settle back into daily life.
How much does rehab cost and do you accept insurance?

Can I continue working or studying while in rehab?
What should I bring to rehab?
Bring comfortable clothes, enclosed shoes, toiletries, current medications in original packaging, photo ID, Medicare card, private health details, and a list of current providers. A notebook, a favourite book, and simple personal items are fine. Leave valuables, alcohol, non prescribed drugs, and restricted items at home. If you are unsure about something, our admissions team can guide you.
Can I keep in contact with friends and family during rehab?
Yes, contact is encouraged in a way that supports recovery. Phone calls and visits are scheduled to protect routine and privacy. Early in treatment, contact may be limited while you settle in and focus. As you progress, access usually increases. With your consent, family can join planned sessions so everyone stays informed and on the same page.
Court, legal issues and documentation
Gold Coast Detox and Rehab Services does not provide legal advice, but we can assist our clients with documentation and evidence that may support court proceedings, legal requirements, divorce settlement requirements and child custody arrangements.
At the end of your rehab program, we can provide an exit statement from management with the dates, time and nature of your stay, outlining your willingness to participate and complete your drug detox and alcohol rehabilitation services. Our service location is a safe and confidential place to work on legal and family matters in privacy, with the support of our multidisciplinary team.
Our local hair follicle testing service can take samples for your upcoming legal requirements. Hair testing provides three months of drug sampling which is accurate evidence of sobriety in court.
If you need to meet family for scheduled visits, we are happy to escort you to an allocated location for supervised meetings locally. We can support you with:
- Advocacy
- Bail applications
- Court letters
- Supervised visitation
- Family interventions
What if you have underlying issues (pain and mental health) that prevent you from drug withdrawal?
If an underlying pain condition prevents you from considering drug withdrawal, e.g. opioids or cannabis, our prescriber can speak to you about medicinal cannabis (CBD oil). If you have an existing or underlying mental health issue, we can work with your mental health team to manage your sobriety.
Do you provide pickup services?
Can we keep in contact with our friends and family?
What are your fees?
Our daily fee is $1800 per day, all-inclusive, and does not depend on the length of stay or the type of detox you require. We ask that you make your payments in full before arrival, and weekly payments are acceptable if you are not sure. Many clients access early release of superannuation to cover costs, alternatively you can apply with our Medipay & TLC partners for finance.
Our Aftercare Package – $1800 – supports 10 counselling, coaching, and check-in sessions after your departure.
Which rehabilitation facilities should I choose?
If you’re not sure which rehabilitation to choose, give us a call anytime to discuss your options and what your rehab stay would look like, no obligation. If we’re not the right services for you, we can help you find the one that suits your needs.
