Addiction and Detox
We recognise the complexity of addiction and substance use challenges, and offer specialised support to help you safely manage withdrawal, begin recovery, and rebuild wellbeing, independence, and stability in daily life.
Staying Better Together
At Hirondelle Private Hospital, we specialise in addiction and recognise it as a medical condition that requires professional treatment.
We provide a structured, evidence-based approach to recovery conducted in a safe and confidential environment.
Our Addiction Program
Our program is psychiatrist-led and supported by a multidisciplinary team of addiction-trained nurses, psychologists, and therapists.
We combine medical care with psychological support to address both alcohol and substance use, and the accompanying mental health concerns.
Who is it for?
Our Addiction and Detox Program may be helpful if you are experiencing:
- Alcohol dependence
- Substance use involving prescription or illicit drugs
- Dual diagnosis, where addiction occurs alongside anxiety, depression, trauma, or bipolar disorder
- Difficulty maintaining abstinence due to repeated relapse
- Feelings of overwhelm, shame, or distress related to substance use
