Your Foundation for Recovery
Three cornerstones to provide a solid foundation for recovering your way of life.
Residential Therapeutic Community
Initial treatment addressing the underlying precursors of your addiction through psychological therapies and support for mental health.
Counselling & Education
Gaining the knowledge and tools required to live a clean and sober life through a 12 step based personal recovery model.
Proven Recovery Methods
Including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Group Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to support long term recovery.
Treating the problem at the source
Addiction treatments for alcohol, ice, cocaine, heroin and other drugs are available at our facility in Geelong (a short drive from Melbourne). We encourage clients to come from interstate, like Adelaide or Sydney to avoid being close to home and any associated triggers.
The point of difference with our rehabilitation services is that our multi-dimensional recovery approach is the most comprehensive alcohol and drug addiction treatment program available. We offer a residential drug and alcohol rehab service combined with supportive accommodation.
Many former clients embark on a career in helping others afflicted by drug and alcohol issues, and we are pleased to offer training and career pathways to assist with this choice. Habitat Therapeutics accepts that addiction can be a chronic relapsing condition and therefore offers education on relapse prevention as well as easy-to-access pathways for follow-up treatment.
After your stay
Ongoing Support for you & your Family
During your initial stay at our residential drug and alcohol rehab centre, you will be introduced to a wide variety of support services and self-help options to assist in your choice to live as a recovering alcoholic/addict. We can provide support and education to your family and loved ones upon request as we offer you residential treatment.
Transitional Housing
Supported accommodation to ease your transition back to independent living.
Outpatient Treatment
Ongoing drug and alcohol treatment after your residential stay.
Counselling & Education
Continued counselling and education for you, your family and loved ones.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is transition accommodation?
Transitioning is an optional part of our recovery program. After satisfactorily completing a stay at our centre, you may be able to enter a further stay with less supervision and more freedom.
How long is the program for recovery?
The programs we offer vary in length. Depending on the results of your assessment, there may be a period of drug or alcohol detox which needs to be completed prior to beginning our programs. After detox we recommend when possible clients should commit to 90 days. We also offer 60 and 30-day programs. We encourage you to discuss this with our office.
What is the accommodation?
We run a residential facility that can house up to 30 people. Each client has their own room. There are several common areas, large kitchens and comfortable outside gardens.
How Much Does Private Drug Rehab Cost?
Every individual's needs are different. The cost will depend upon various factors such as: what your drug of choice has been (includes alcohol), the length of detox required, your initial assessment and personal circumstances. Approximate figures can be discussed with our staff over the phone but a firm quote can only be given after assessment and formal meetings.
