Alcohol addiction rehab treatment in Melbourne

The cost of alcohol rehab depends on the type of treatment program, the length of stay, the level of clinical support required, and your funding pathway. Costs can also vary depending on whether you’re self-funding, using private health insurance, accessing superannuation, or applying for other support options.

Current self-funded treatment options include:

• 7-day inpatient detox program: from $6,510
• 30-day residential treatment program: from $14,990
• 60-day residential treatment program: from $29,990
• 90-day residential treatment program: from $44,970

Additional support services are also available, including family support programs, counselling, online recovery support, and intensive aftercare pathways.

A $1,990 admission fee applies to all admissions and includes assessment, intake, and administration costs.

Eligible private health insurance members may be able to reduce or avoid additional out-of-pocket expenses depending on their level of cover and insurer approval.

Our admissions team can help you understand your treatment options, explain funding pathways, and provide a personalised cost breakdown based on your circumstances.

Alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous, even life-threatening. Symptoms range from mild discomfort to severe complications like seizures, hallucinations, and delirium tremens. These risks are higher for people who have been binge drinking, drinking heavily for a long time, or who have underlying health issues. Symptoms often appear within 6 to 24 hours after stopping alcohol and can escalate quickly.

That’s why medically supervised alcohol detox is essential. In our alcohol detox programs, clients are monitored 24/7 by medical staff who manage symptoms, provide therapeutic care, and keep clients safe throughout withdrawal. Medications are often used to reduce symptoms and prevent complications.

Supervised detox is not just about safety; it’s also about setting you up for success in rehab. Managing withdrawal properly means you can focus on the therapeutic work ahead. If you’re considering detox, it’s important to speak with professionals who understand the risks and can guide you through the process.

For anyone struggling with alcohol or other drug use, detox is a critical first step toward long-term recovery. Understanding the risks of alcohol withdrawal and how to manage them is a key part of treatment for addiction.

Families often carry the weight of addiction too. That’s why support for loved ones is a core part of our alcohol addiction rehabilitation recovery treatment program. Families can access dedicated counselling, group therapy, and practical tools to understand addiction and rebuild trust. Our family programs help parents, partners, and friends navigate the emotional challenges that come with supporting someone in rehab.

Structured family support is available during the program and continues after discharge through aftercare options. We also encourage families to take part in intervention services when early support is needed. Recovery is stronger when everyone is supported, family included. Our programs also help families recognise the signs of alcohol addiction and provide a safe space for open conversations.

A day in alcohol rehab is designed to balance therapeutic care with structure, routine, and opportunities for personal reflection. Here’s a general breakdown of what you can expect:

Morning

• Group therapy sessions focused on addiction, mental health, and coping skills
• Goal-setting and reflection activities
• Workshops or psychoeducation about addiction recovery
  

Afternoon

• Individual counselling sessions with a therapist or addiction specialist
• Therapeutic activities such as mindfulness, creative therapies, or physical exercise
• Peer support groups to share experiences and build connections
  

Evening

• AA and NA meetings
• Relaxation time and communal meals
• Reflections on the day’s progress
• Light activities or optional discussions
  
  

This structure helps people develop healthier habits, build resilience, and gain the practical tools they need for long-term recovery. Every day may look a little different, but the goal is always the same: to create a safe, supportive space where you can focus fully on your recovery. A typical day is carefully planned to support people struggling with drug addiction, alcohol abuse, and substance addiction.

Many people struggling with alcohol addiction also face mental health issues like depression, anxiety, or trauma. This is called a co-occurring condition or dual diagnosis. Treating both the addiction and the underlying mental health issues together is critical for long-term success.

Our approach combines medical care, therapy, and tailored support. Clients receive individual counselling, group therapy, and access to our specialist mental health team. We use a mix of evidence-based therapies, including CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, to address the emotional drivers of addiction.

Programs also include access to inpatient alcohol rehab and ongoing support through outpatient programs. We focus on helping clients understand addiction, manage cravings, and build resilience. Recovery is about more than just stopping alcohol use; it’s about rebuilding your mental health, relationships, and self-worth.

This holistic approach supports people struggling with alcohol or other drug addiction and helps reduce the risk of relapse. Addiction is a chronic condition, and treating both substance use and mental health together is key to long-term success.

Finishing a residential rehab program is a huge achievement, but it’s not the end of the journey. Recovery is a long-term process, and the weeks and months after rehab are critical for building a stable, sober life.

After completing a residential treatment program, clients usually transition into aftercare services. This might include outpatient therapy, ongoing peer support, and participation in relapse prevention groups. Many clients also engage in structured programs like the Hader@Home aftercare service to maintain accountability and build on what they learned in rehab.

The support doesn’t stop after rehab. Our team works with clients to develop a tailored relapse prevention plan, connect them with community resources, and ensure they have the practical skills to manage the challenges of everyday life. Recovery is about building a life free from addiction, one day at a time. We encourage people to continue with outpatient programs, seek ongoing support, and take an active role in their recovery.

Relapse prevention is a core part of every alcohol addiction rehabilitation recovery treatment program. Rehab works best when it’s not just about stopping the use of alcohol but also about building the skills, habits, and mindset that support long-term recovery.

Our programs teach clients how to recognise triggers, manage cravings, and build healthy coping strategies. We also provide access to ongoing support through outpatient programs, peer groups, and relapse prevention planning. This approach reflects the many facets of substance addiction, including the emotional, behavioural, and physical challenges people face.

No one can guarantee you’ll never relapse, but we do everything we can to set you up for success. With the right support, education, and accountability, a life free from addiction is possible. If you’re struggling with alcohol abuse, alcoholism, or drug and alcohol addiction, we’re here to help you get back on track and stay there. Our drug and alcohol rehab programs are designed to help you rebuild your life, one day at a time.
