Treatment for Addictive Disorders

If you have an addictive disorder, it is important you access resources, education and clinical support to help you on the road to recovery.

Inpatient Treatment

Our clinic offers inpatient services for the treatment of addiction, which involves complete detoxification, whilst ensuring any side effects and risks associated with withdrawal are treated within a controlled and supervised environment. Medically supervised detoxification may be suitable for those who require a more intensive detoxification within a safe environment with added support to minimise temptations and potential risks.

Following an assessment, patients undertake a three week drug and alcohol inpatient program which includes relapse prevention and lifestyle management strategies. This group-based program provides patients with the skills, techniques and strategies needed to understand and manage dependency disorders.

Throughout admission at The Central Coast Clinic, patients attend regular appointments with one of our on site Consultant Psychiatrists, who oversees treatment for the duration of their stay.

We adopt an abstinence-based approach to treatment. All patients admitted to our addictions program have the option to undertake the 12 step support group program, either Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA), which offers an addiction recovery framework.
