25.01.2022 THANKS TO OUR STAFF Thanks go to our loyal staff who have soldiered on with us through the CoVid uncertainties. It's been a pleasure doing restrictions with all of you.

25.01.2022 A TESTIMONIAL ....I must be honest and say that our conversations, your experience and kindness (and food, and beach, and walks, and natural remedies, and senses of humour) were the things that most helped me through this. And for that, I'll be forever grateful. MS x

25.01.2022 Russell Brand talks on identifying your relapse well before it happens. In the most colourful way of course. For those of you who have lost interest in the 12 Step programme, Brand certainly revives a tired model with his passionate personal insights.

22.01.2022 SYDNEY DETOX AND REHAB We're happy to announce the opening of our partner centre Sydney Detox and Rehab in Manly as of July 2020.

21.01.2022 LIFT OFF Our new premises has a million dollar ocean view with four levels. But don't despair, we have lifts. No stairs, just lifts. So that makes us wheelchair friendly.

21.01.2022 SEVEN DAYS PLUS Although a drug and alcohol detox is technically only 7 days, we always suggest an extra week. It takes a good week to eliminate the drug from your body. The next job is to get well. So the second week is all about getting your energy back, replenishing the nutrients you have lost, sleeping well and getting fit. No point going home feeling weak, tired and stressed, it will set you up to relapse.

17.01.2022 New article on the new approach to detox and rehab, focussing on negotiating client choices. Written by our addiction specialist Bronwyn Schlesinger. https://goldcoastdetoxandrehab.com/21st-century-addiction-/

16.01.2022 RELAPSERS Relapsing happens. Dont be proud, reach out and seek out help to get back on track. Statistics show that it can be likely, so dont expect perfection from yourself the first try.

16.01.2022 10 FOLLOW-UPS There's more to detoxing than doing a detox. Staying clean and sober is where the real work lies. Rehab is just as important. With every detox program, We offer clients 10 followup sessions after leaving to make sure they stay on track.

16.01.2022 SCARRING One of the first things you notice with high long term alcohol consumption is poor wound healing and scarring. This is due to zinc depletion caused by alcohol. Zinc mends tissue together, so wounds that take a long time to heal and stay red or purple with unnecessary scarring indicate zinc deficiency. That includes stretch marks.

11.01.2022 DRUG DROUGHT With countries going into lock-down cargo routes are closing by the day, resulting in an imported drug drought. Foreign drug have become harder to buy, leaving our home-made drugs from Australia such as Ice more available than ever. Move over cocaine and heroin, here comes a meth explosion.

08.01.2022 TWO PROBLEMS We now know often underneath addiction lies another illness which needs treatment. This is called Dual Diagnosis. It could be depression, ADHD, OCD, psychosis or any other mental health issue. One of our expert staff George Patriki published this interesting article in Doctor magazine recently about Dual Diagnosis.

08.01.2022 SOBER DANCING Indians have one of the lowest rates of addiction in the world. If you watch this video from an Indian colleague's Facebook page for Independence Day yesterday, you can see why. Compare this to our Australia Day celebrations. When was the last time you danced in the backyard with your family in the daytime with no alcohol involved? https://www.facebook.com//pcb.235798436/2357983974294645/

08.01.2022 RECOVERY HOUSE Many of our clients don't want to go to a rehab after their detox with us, despite our good efforts. They just want to rest and continue their recovery. So we don't make them. For this reason, we're calling our new location a Recovery House. Just more of the same. Rest, recuperation and recovery.

07.01.2022 MINDFULNESS STUFF We love our counselling room. Counselling doesn't always have to be serious. Our room is fully equipped with a range of coffee-table mindfulness activities such as knitting wool, kinetic sand, goo, marbles, magnetic balls, glue and sketching paper.

05.01.2022 RELEASE MY SUPER If you need to detox asap and need fast access to your superannuation, use www.releasemysuper.com. They can organise your medical assessments quickly so you get fast access to funding for your private rehab program.

04.01.2022 CANNABIS INSOMNIA Cannabis users underestimate the impact of their addiction and have trouble identifying when they are in withdrawal. They say they need to use Cannabis to get to sleep, but it was the Cannabis that gave them insomnia in the first place and continual usage makes it worse. The insomnia from a Cannabis detox can be quite extreme and last several days or even weeks and months.

04.01.2022 GABA Alcohol, Valium and Xanax all hit the GABA chemical button in the brain, creating a feeling of relaxation. Long term use of GABA producing drugs lead to less GABA being produced in the long run. This means, addiction causes anxiety, insomnia and stress. Your integrative doctor or naturopath can supply you with nutrient-grade GABA powder to ease your withdrawal symptoms and prevent cravings. It's not a well-known supplement in Australia, but it is safe and well tolerated.

Sydney Detox was modelled from our own unique centre, offering high end drug and alcohol detox to professionals wanting confidentiality and quality care.

03.01.2022 GHB The next big drug explosion is GHB. The high from GHB is a deep feeling of relaxation. Mixed with other drugs, it's a lethal depressant drug causing coma and even death. At this time, we are yet to see many of the specific issues around it's usage, resulting in limited education and information on it's effects. But wait for it, it's flooding into our community as we speak.

03.01.2022 NEW STAR, SAME MESSAGE The original movie A Star is Born first screened in 1937, then again in 1954, 1976 and now 2018. It was the first movie to ever describe the destructive effects of addiction. Not only did it highlight the agonising impact of alcohol of relationships, it tells the story of a man of great wealth, success and popularity rather than a man who is destitute. Addiction can affect anyone, even the rich and famous.

03.01.2022 RECOVERY HOUSE Many of our clients dont want to go to a rehab after their detox with us, despite our good efforts. They just want to rest and continue their recovery. So we dont make them. For this reason, were calling our new location a Recovery House. Just more of the same. Rest, recuperation and recovery.

02.01.2022 TESTIMONIAL Big thanks go to our client John who wrote amazing comments about us on our Google Review website page. Here's part of what he had to say... 'I just needed to get sober safely. I ended up staying for 4 weeks and it was one of the most memorable times of my life and I will be forever grateful to the whole team of experts at the centre, and my strong family support! If you need to get sober or off substances of any kind, this is the place to do it! '

02.01.2022 SUNSET AT GOLD COAST DETOX

01.01.2022 FLEXIBILITY Our views are the best on the Gold Coast. We offer you long relaxed days with time for contemplation and attending to your personal affairs. We have 24 hour addiction counsellors living with you, so there's plenty of time. Our schedule is flexible, without locked in times for counselling and therapy. Our schedule revolves around your needs for recovery.

01.01.2022 CBD AND ANXIETY Many of our clients struggle with anxiety when they detox from alcohol in particular. With the anxiety comes insomnia and body pain. Rather than suggesting more medication, our specialist doctor can prescribe medical Cannabis oil, or CBD oil. CBD is not addictive and has no side effects. It doesn't affect your ability to concentrate, is not psychoactive, and you can't overdose. We monitor your dosage and help you get to your sweet spot for maximum benefit before you leave.

01.01.2022 DANCE DRUG Our Salsa teacher Alex send us this poignant photo. It amazes us how clients enjoy dancing when given the opportunity.
