Gold Coast Addiction & Treatment Rehab

The Gold Coast Addiction and Treatment Rehab is an exclusive private retreat where clients benefit from comprehensive treatment in a relaxed, non-clinical retreat atmosphere.

The retreat-style rehab provides a contemporary, upmarket alternative to either a hospital environment or large government-subsidised programs that can be overwhelming.

With over 28 years of experience in substance abuse and mental health issues, Gold Coast Addiction and Treatment Rehab strives to address underlying issues from an integrated holistic perspective to help clients build long-term sustainable recovery so they can thrive, not just survive.

As part of their retreat-style accommodation, they provide each client with their own private room, because they understand people need space outside of treatment times. During the day, you can speak with your treatment team, who will design and deliver a treatment program tailored to your needs.

Besides a relaxing atmosphere and excellent care, the staff is on hand round the clock to ensure you remain safe, well-rested, and comfortable overnight.

Using quality psycho-social education in combination with personal counselling, also known as individual psychotherapy, you will learn how to understand yourself and others, and how to beat your addiction permanently. 

Because the facility respects people’s need for privacy, they offer complete discretion and confidentiality, with only paper files and no electronic records that anyone else could view, such as Medicare or private insurance companies. 

During your stay at the rehab facility, you can use an alias name, and when you leave, you can shred your file to protect your privacy.
