Set away from the pressures of everyday life, our 30-bed residential facility, two hours north of Brisbane, provides a structured, supportive environment where both men and women can focus fully on their recovery. The distance from day-to-day triggers and distractions is a deliberate part of the therapeutic design. Clients may stay for 4, 8, or 12 weeks at our residential facility, with program duration determined through a comprehensive clinical assessment.
The residential program combines medically supervised detox (where required) with a comprehensive psychoeducation curriculum, individual and group therapy, allied health input, and a clear pathway into aftercare. It is designed to address the full picture of what is driving each person’s substance use, including the psychological, social, and emotional factors that sit beneath it.
Hader Clinic Queensland holds QIP (Quality Innovation Performance) accreditation.
The residential treatment program is designed for people who are at a point where managing substance use in their day-to-day life has become unmanageable. A period of full immersion in structured care, away from the environment in which the patterns formed, gives the best opportunity for lasting change.
We see clients who come to us after years of trying to stop on their own, clients for whom previous treatment has not been successful, and clients who are managing significant mental health challenges alongside their substance use. We also see people who are earlier in their journey but whose home environment, relationships, or circumstances make distance from those pressures an important part of recovery.
If you’re not sure whether residential treatment is the right fit, our team can talk it through with you. There’s no pressure, just a chance to understand your options.

For many clients, recovery begins before they arrive at our residential facility. Hader Clinic Queensland Private Hospital is a 25-bed, HDAA-accredited private hospital specialising in medically supervised detox and withdrawal management.
Where detox is required, clients complete this phase at the private hospital before transitioning into the residential rehabilitation program. The two programs are designed to work together, giving clients medical stability first and the therapeutic environment to build on it second.
Our residential program treats a wide range of substance use disorders. Whether you or someone you love is experiencing alcohol, illicit drugs, or prescription medication dependence, our multi-disciplinary team has the experience and expertise to help.
We treat a wide range of alcohol and other drug dependencies, including:
The residential program is built around Hader Clinic Queensland’s psychoeducation curriculum, which has been developed to address the core areas that sustain problematic substance use. The five modules are:
Every module builds on the others, and the therapeutic work that happens in group sessions, in individual counselling, and in the program’s supported day-to-day life reinforces what is being learned in each session.
Our treatment model provides a holistic and multi-faceted approach to addiction treatment for the mind, body and spirit. The full program includes:
Many people who come to us are managing more than substance use alone. Depression, anxiety, trauma, or other mental health challenges often sit alongside it, sometimes diagnosed, sometimes not. These experiences are closely connected, and treating one without the other often leaves part of the problem untouched.
Our dual diagnosis program is built around integrated care. Both mental health and addiction are assessed and treated together by the same clinical team, within the same program. You’re not passed between services or expected to address one before the other. Recovery is rarely straightforward, and our approach is built with that complexity in mind.

Our qualified team includes a registered nurse, counsellors with qualifications in psychology, social work, or social sciences, and support staff with lived experience. External facilitators are also on-site, including an exercise physiologist, an art therapist, a yoga instructor, and a nutritionist.
Some of our staff have their own experience of recovery, including completing the Hader Clinic Queensland program. They come to their roles with formal qualifications and with a personal understanding of what it is like to be in the same position.
Our staff are experienced in working with people managing a dual diagnosis, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and psychotic disorders, alongside substance use.

The residential program runs Monday to Friday, with a structured daily schedule that includes group education sessions, individual counselling, planned recreation, and regular clinical monitoring, including urine drug screening and breathalyser testing. Weekends follow a lighter schedule, but residents remain within the program environment.
Early recovery asks a great deal of a person cognitively and emotionally, and the evidence is clear that this period requires full engagement with the therapeutic process. Research indicates that most people with addiction need at least three months in treatment to significantly reduce or stop their drug use, and that the best outcomes occur with longer durations. Recovery is a long-term process, and as with other chronic illnesses, setbacks can occur, and when they do, they signal a need for treatment to be reviewed or adjusted, not abandoned entirely.
A consistent daily routine helps regulate sleep, reduce anxiety, and create the conditions in which therapeutic work can actually take hold. The schedule is full, but it is built with rest and reflection in mind. It’s a contained environment, and for many people, that containment is precisely what makes change possible for the first time.
The weeks and months that follow are often when the real work of building a new life begins, and when the risk of returning to old patterns is highest.
For this reason, our residential program connects directly to a broader continuum of care. After completing your residential stay, you may move into our transitional housing program if you need a supported living environment before returning home, or into our outpatient program if you are ready to return to your own life but want to maintain structured support. Our online aftercare program is available to clients across Australia who are unable to attend in person.
The support we put in place after you leave is as deliberate as the program you complete while you are here.
Addiction is rarely experienced by one person alone. By the time a family member reaches out to us, they have often spent months or years carrying the weight of someone else’s substance use, managing the worry, absorbing the consequences, and trying to hold things together.
We see you, and we want to help.
Family support and involvement is an essential part of the residential program. Research consistently shows that when families are supported through the recovery process, outcomes improve for everyone, including the person in treatment.
During the residential program, families have access to regular support sessions and education sessions. The support sessions help families navigate the emotional realities of recovery, while the education sessions provide a structured space to learn alongside others going through the same experience.

What is the admission process for the rehabilitation treatment program?
Admission begins with an obligation-free consultation, held in person, online or over the phone, where treatment options are discussed. If appropriate, an intake assessment will be scheduled and reviewed by our clinical team within 24-48 hours.
On arrival, you will undergo an assessment with our nurse and GP to evaluate your physical health status and commence a supervised medical detox if required. You will also be seen by one of our clinicians to start planning your treatment goals.
Find out more about the admission process.
How soon can I be admitted?
We offer priority admissions. Once approved, following the comprehensive intake assessment, the admissions team will be in touch within 24 hours to arrange your admission date and time.
How is program length decided?
Program length is recommended by the clinical team following a thorough assessment of your substance use history, mental health history, medical history, and risk profile. Research consistently supports a minimum of 90 days for the strongest long-term outcomes, and the clinical team will discuss their recommendation with you before admission.
Do I need to detox before I arrive?
No. Withdrawal management is available as part of our program for clients who need it, with medically supervised care provided by our team of registered nurses and clinicians. This will be assessed as part of your intake process.
How is my treatment plan developed and reviewed?
Treatment is guided by a multidisciplinary team that meets weekly to discuss each client in depth. These case discussions bring together clinicians, counsellors, and support staff to consider your progress from a biological, psychological, and social perspective. The outcomes of those conversations directly shape the care you receive, whether that means adjustments to your psychological support, medication, exercise regimen, or nutrition. It is collaborative, ongoing, and responsive to how you are responding to the treatment.
Is treatment covered by private health insurance?
Hader Clinic Queensland Private Hospital offers a 28-night detox program that may be partially or fully covered by your private health insurance, depending on your level of cover. Following detox, ongoing residential rehabilitation at Hader Clinic Queensland is only partly subsidised.
We recommend contacting your insurer directly to confirm your entitlements. Our team can also assist you in understanding your options prior to admission. DVA White and Gold Card holders are eligible to enter our program at no cost.
What if I want to leave during treatment?
It is not uncommon to feel like leaving in the early stages of treatment. Our team is trained to support clients through this, including involving family where helpful. We work with each person to make decisions that reflect their values and recovery goals.
Am I allowed to have visitors?
Yes, visits are allowed from your second Sunday in treatment. All visitors must be pre-approved by the clinic and can attend only during the specified times provided. If you have children under the age of 18, additional time will be allocated for calls during the week.
Where is your transitional housing program located?
We have two transitional housing properties located south-west of Brisbane, offering a supported living environment with access to community and outpatient services as you transition back to independent life.
Do you offer treatment for people of all ages?
Yes. We treat adults typically between 18 and 70, from those in the early stages of problematic substance use through to people managing long-term dependence. Our program is designed to meet people where they are, and our multi-disciplinary team has experience working with the full range of presentations that come with different life stages. This includes working professionals whose use has escalated quickly, middle-aged adults whose drinking has become unmanageable, and older people whose dependence has developed gradually over many years.
