Types of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Programs
It can be extremely difficult to break an addiction, which is why it is so important to have a team of caring, trained professionals working alongside you. The team here at The Central Coast Clinic will help you to detox and move through your addiction in a safe, confidential and supportive environment.
The two types of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Programs we offer are:
(1) Inpatient Treatment
The Central Coast Clinic offers inpatient services for the treatment of addiction, which involves complete detoxification, whilst ensuring any side effects and risks associated with withdrawal are treated within a controlled and supervised environment. Medically supervised detoxification may be suitable for those who require a more intensive detoxification within a safe environment with added support to minimise temptations and potential risks.
Following an assessment, patients undertake a three-week drug and alcohol inpatient program which includes relapse prevention and lifestyle management strategies. This group-based program provides patients with the skills, techniques and strategies needed to understand and manage dependency disorders.
Throughout admission at The Central Coast Clinic, patients attend regular appointments with one of our on-site Consultant Psychiatrists, who oversees treatment for the duration of their stay.
We adopt an abstinence-based approach to treatment. All patients admitted to our addictions program have the option to undertake the 12-step support group program, either Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA), which offers an addiction recovery framework.
Call 1800 814 226 to speak to one of our qualified and compassionate staff members about treatment options today.
We provide relapse prevention and lifestyle management strategies, and discuss the skills, techniques and strategies needed to understand and manage dependency disorders.
Our specialised treatment for addiction addresses the root causes of the disease, including:
- Low self-esteem
- Anger
- Sadness
- Guilt/Shame
- Abuse or Trauma
- Abandonment (emotional or physical)

(2) Day Program
As well as the 3-week Inpatient Progam, The Central Coast Clinic also offers a Day Program known as the Addictive Disorders Program, where patients attend one day a week for a period of ten weeks.
This program is abstinence based, and provides resources, education and clinical support for people wishing to move through addiction in a supportive and safe environment.
The Addictive Disorders Program uses cognitive behavioural therapy, social learning theory and mindfulness to bring about real change in people’s lives. The program focuses on a range of areas including:
- Problem identification
- Relapse prevention
- Warning signs of relapse
- Managing temptations
- Positive ways of thinking
- New ways to enjoy life
- Setting boundaries
- Personal values
