Recognising addiction involves identifying behavioural, physical and psychological changes such as increased tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, neglect of responsibilities, social circle changes and loss of interest in hobbies. Early recognition is crucial for timely intervention.

The Risks of Substance Abuse: Understand the Dangers
Substance abuse poses severe risks to physical, mental and social well-being. It can lead to health issues, mental health problems and strained relationships. Understanding these risks highlights the importance of seeking help and making informed choices about substance use.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Many AOD and mental health services are not covered by insurance, so it will depend on your policy. Fees vary with recommended program length, type of substance and your health. We provide a clear written quote before admission so you know exactly what to expect. Early release of superannuation is available to fund our programs. Our friendly staff can talk you through payment options.
Adults seeking help for alcohol or drug dependence or mental health respite can apply. Admission depends on an assessment of your health, safety, and suitability for our programs. We support people with co-occurring mental health needs and can coordinate care with your GP or psychiatrist. If a hospital detox is the safer first step, we help arrange that and hold your rehab place.
Depending on the program and your stage of recovery you can continue to study or work remotely while in rehab (expect up to 3-4 hours per day). Residential rehab has organised program activities and plenty of resting time. Many clients find they can stay in touch with business, attend some meetings and study for a few hours each day. We can provide confidential letters for employers or education providers when needed.

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.

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.

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

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.

Distance is no issue, we can pick you up anywhere. Our service is 25 minutes from Coolangatta Airport, 60 minutes from Brisbane Airport and available from Townsville. We can pick you up from any drop-off point and bring you directly.
Leading up to your arrival, our admissions staff will keep contact with you. If you need support or family involvement at any time, we can assist you over the phone or in person.

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.

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.
