Gold Coast Addiction and Treatment Rehab

Have you been struggling with addiction? Perhaps you thought you could control your alcohol, other drugs or gambling, or any other behaviour and now realise that this behaviour is causing you harm and those you love. At the Gold Coast Addiction & Treatment Rehab, we explain that repeated behaviour turns into an addiction and this addiction can end up controlling each area of our life.  Let us take care of you.

Now Is The Time To Act

It is so important to seek help as soon as you become aware that a behaviour has become an addiction that is taking control of your life. If you don’t take action when you become aware of the addiction, it continues to grow and do more harm. Sometimes this harm can cause significant, or even irreversible damage to your health, relationships, work, finances, reputation etc. The earlier you fight back, the easier the recovery process.

Gold Coast Addiction & Treatment Rehab offers both the Live-In SHORT STAY REHAB retreat, as well as INTENSIVE DAY TREATMENT. If you prefer this option as a one-on-one day treatment, this is explained on the Day Treatment page. We encourage you to act now and call us for a friendly chat, or email if you prefer or use our contact page.

If you would like to understand the Cycle of Addiction, feel welcome to learn more from our services page.

Taking The First Step

The journey of a mile begins with the first step”… Regardless of what stage you are at in your addiction, our expert staff will speak with you over the phone to help you plan your recovery to meet your needs. You may be looking for more information, or you may be ready to start your treatment. We offer a service for people at various stages of change.

Take care of yourself by treating yourself with love and respect. This is the beginning of treatment. Please remember that you will suffer doing the treatment and you will suffer not doing the treatment. Either way, you will suffer, but you may as well suffer completing your treatment and having something to show for it, rather than suffering in your addiction and have nothing to show for it. At the Gold Coast Addiction & Treatment Rehab we have a saying, “that we will drive our car, work and relationships by our principles, values and morals…. Regardless of how we feel…!!!” This is the cornerstone of sustainable recovery.

As many of our clients say, “It’s wonderful to be free from the control of this addiction that was destroying every part of my life. It’s great to start living again and actually enjoy life instead of enduring it in my addiction. Thanks heaps for your help.”
