Rehab Gold Coast
Gold Coast is Queensland’s second-largest city. Europeans first landed in what is now Mermaid Beach in 1823, and red cedar from the hinterlands attracted more people to the area soon thereafter.
Today, with almost 641,000 people calling it home, it’s the most populous city in Australia that is not also a state capital. It became a city in 1959, and the first of many skyscrapers was built the following year.
The city’s urban centre stretches along nearly 60 kilometres of coastline, and it has become a major tourist destination and a popular international destination for film production. Other major industries in the area include video game production, and the city is also a hub for content creation. The city also leads Australia in startups per capita.
However, despite all of its glitz and glamour, many Gold Coasters find themselves struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. At Sivana Rehab, our mission is to help everyone who comes to us build a life free from addiction.
How Residential Rehabilitation Makes a Difference
Inpatient or residential rehab can make a major difference in recovering from drug or alcohol addiction. One of the most prominent ways is that an inpatient facility is a controlled environment, which means that patients won’t have access to alcohol or drugs. This helps acclimate their body to the absence of substances.
While in a treatment centre, patients will also be seen by mental health professionals. Many people who struggle with addiction ended in that position because of a mental health condition that they weren’t able to properly address.
Another way that being in a treatment centre helps with recovery is that it can take a person away from circumstances or people that may have triggered or enabled their addiction. This allows a person to focus wholly on their recovery.
Why Gold Coast Needs Rehabilitation Services
The Alcohol and Other Drugs Service (AODS) provides a range of services to help Gold Coasters reduce or stop substance misuse. The AODS is necessary, as in 2021, there was an increase in people seeking treatment for alcohol addiction. Between January and December of that year, 250 instances of care were identified in which alcohol was identified as the primary substance of concern.
Substances such as cannabis, cocaine, MDMA, hallucinogens, and meth are also in widespread use throughout Queensland. Because of this, many people on the Gold Coast need treatment beyond what the AODS can offer.

Why Come to Bali to Address Drug and Alcohol Addiction?
While the treatment options in Gold Coast can be compelling, there are still several reasons to come to Bali for treatment. These reasons include:
Cost Efficiency
One of the biggest reasons to come to Bali for treatment is that it’s more cost-efficient. A luxury rehab can cost a small fortune in Australia, but coming to Bali means accessing the same level of care and comfort at a fraction of the price.
Privacy
Coming to rehab in Bali can also safeguard a person’s privacy. For many people, seeking treatment is a deeply personal choice, not something they want to advertise. Distance alone can help maintain a person’s privacy by putting them thousands of kilometres away from prying eyes.
Distance
Speaking of distance, coming to Bali removes a person from circumstances that may have caused their addiction. It can also remove a person from any people who, sometimes unknowingly, enabled their addiction.
Natural Wonder
Bali is a major holiday destination because of its natural wonders. These wonders, most evident in Bali’s beaches and forests, can have a therapeutic effect and create a gorgeous backdrop to recovery.
Holistic Treatment
In Bali, we believe in comprehensive care for addiction recovery. To that end, we integrate holistic treatments such as golf, fitness training, meditation, spa treatment and yoga to help improve physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Family Programme
Addiction can often have an adverse effect on interpersonal relationships and strain the bond between loved ones. However, these bonds can be healed, and our staff is trained to help foster reconnection between loved ones.
How Addiction and Mental Health Are Interconnected
Mental health and addiction are interconnected. It’s not uncommon for a person to turn to alcohol or drug use as a means of coping with a mental illness that they have not been able to properly address. Addiction can also worsen any underlying mental health conditions, which can complicate the recovery process.
Because of how interconnected mental health and addiction are, the expert staff at many rehab facilities are also qualified to address mental health concerns. If the rehab centre cannot treat mental health directly, they can often offer referrals.
How to Get to Our Inpatient Centre
Getting to Bali will require taking a flight from Gold Coast to Ngurah Rai International Airport. Some of the ways to get to Gold Coast Airport include:
By Train: Take a train from Brisbane Central Station to Varsity Lakes Station on the Gold Coast Line. Then, transfer to the 760 bus, which will take you directly to Gold Coast Airport.
By Bus: Take the 777 bus from Broadbeach South Station, which runs frequently to the airport. You can also take the 760 bus from Varsity Lakes Station directly to the airport.
Maintaining Recovery In the Real World
Alcohol and drug addiction are both complex diseases, and while treatment in an inpatient centre can be comprehensive, it’s not often enough for a person to make a full recovery.
Maintaining sobriety outside of the controlled environment of a residential rehab centre can be difficult. A lot of people go back to their lives, and often, the circumstances that led to their addiction may still be present.
Because of how difficult sobriety is to maintain, many people relapse. Relapsing isn’t a sign that the treatment failed or the patient wasn’t strong enough to stay sober. Instead, it’s a lesson. It’s an opportunity for treatment providers to adjust their approach to foster a patient’s long-term sobriety.
Many rehab facilities have comprehensive aftercare programmes to help their patients maintain their sobriety. Sustainable recovery is possible, but most people often need a lot of support. This is why many people in recovery join support groups, enrol in an outpatient treatment programme, or join a support group.
