Sydney Drug & Alcohol Rehab FAQ

  • Residential rehabilitation, also referred to as residential treatment, is a comprehensive program where individuals live on-site while addressing substance abuse issues.

    This immersive setting provides a focused environment for addiction recovery, free from the triggers of everyday life. 

    Our residential treatment program offers 24/7 support, personalised therapy, and holistic care to help you overcome alcoholism, drug use or other substance abuse and achieve long-term recovery.

    It’s designed to equip you with the tools and strategies necessary for a successful journey to sobriety.

  • Our rehabilitation program starts with a minimum of 28 days (4 weeks), but we encourage guests to stay for 12 weeks if possible.

    Some individuals choose to stay longer. Studies show that 90-day programs significantly improve long-term recovery, especially for those with more complex needs.

    We understand it may be challenging to take that much time away from your life, so we begin with a 28-day program to balance effectiveness with what’s manageable for you. 

    Our goal is to help you achieve lasting freedom from addiction, ideally with just one stay at our facility.

  • Detoxification (detox) is the process of eliminating a harmful substance or substances from the body, typically taking about a week.

    Rehabilitation (rehab) may start with detox, but its primary focus is to equip patients with the tools to live a healthy, addiction-free life for the long term.

  • Some weekly activities take place outside the facility, supervised by staff.

    In some cases, a guest may leave with supervision or family, based on individual circumstances.

    If a guest chooses to leave without consent, they may not be allowed to return.
