Over 12 months, you'll receive premium care from leading addiction clinicians in Australia.
Detox from the
comfort of home.
Undergo medicated detox without needing to go to a clinic. There's no need to put your life on hold.
Experienced medical supervision.
Our qualified doctors and nurses specialise in addiction. We know how to help you, and can guide you every step of the way.
Tailored & unique to you.
No matter what your long-term goal is after detox, whether that be abstinence or not, we’ll support you to reach it.
Tried and tested approach
We have successfully supported over 1000 clients through withdrawal – 95% of those who give us feedback rate the service as excellent.
95% of clients agree or strongly agree that they find the technology easy to use.
Our 3 stage process is simple and effective.
Stage 1: Preparation and Assessment
We ensure that you are psychologically, socially and physically prepared for detox success post withdrawal.
You will be appointed a dedicated specialist nurse, and given a care package to begin the program. In preparation for detox, we will work with you to set your goals and deeply understand what is triggering your use, so that we can begin to put in place the changes you’ll need for long-term success.
Stage 2: Detox
In this stage, we support you through a medically supervised detox at home, that patients would typically go through in a hospital or outpatient clinic.
We will check in with you daily to ensure you are safe and comfortable, and make sure we adjust your medication if required.
Stage 3: Aftercare
Over the remainder of the year, your dedicated nurse will continue to support you, initially through weekly follow-up and then less frequently as your confidence grows.
We will develop a tailored post-detox plan to equip you with the tools and strategies you need to manage your alcohol use. Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to participate in multiple peer-supported 'SMART Recovery' meetings each week, facilitated by our trained team.
Pricing
Our service is currently available privately for all clients. Additionally, we have Government funded places available in select Primary Health Networks, as well as for eligible private health members under a number of insurers. We hope to be able to extend our funded access to more clients in the future.
-
Is the program covered by Medicare?Unfortunately no, not at this time.
-
Can I skip Phase 1 (Preparation) and start detox right away?Assessment and preparation are a very important part of the program, where we ensure an individual is physically and psychologically ready for detox. This is to ensure safety for each client. The changing of relationship with alcohol does start with a period of mindful drinking, which allows us to identify any triggers that you may have.
-
I stopped drinking or went through a detox elsewhere. Can I still go through the program?Yes, we offer a tailored aftercare support program for those who have already completed detox. You can find more information on this service here.
-
Do I need to tell anyone?We are a confidential service and will not share information with anyone without consent (except where required by law). However, we encourage every client to have a support person for safety and support, which will be discussed in the first appointment by the nurse. Ideally, a GP is also involved to ensure the continuity of care post-detox.
