Gold Coast is Queensland’s second-largest city after Brisbane. The city wasn’t originally a city, but it grew out of smaller townships such as Nerang. Tourism in the 1920s led to significant growth until it was declared a city in 1959. The city continues to be a tourist destination and, as of 2021, around 640,000 people call the city home.

However, some of these people will find that they need the services of Gold Coast rehab centres due to substance use. Some of these people will find that leaving and coming to Liberty Home may be where their personal recovery journey take them.

How Inpatient Treatment is Pivotal in Recovery

Inpatient care is what people generally picture when they think of alcohol and drug treatment. There is good reason for this. Residential rehabilitation services are often the point where a person can find the most intensive treatment for addiction.

Another way that an inpatient treatment programme is so pivotal for a person’s recovery is how it affects mental health. Many people who struggle with substance use also struggle with a mental health disorder and treatment plans often integrate Dual Diagnosis into their approach to address both.

For many people, inpatient rehab could very well be the first time they get any sort of professional treatment for their mental health.

Many treatment facilities also help their guest transition into other forms of treatment when their time in residential treatment is up. This is pivotal because relapse is quite prevalent in addiction recovery, transitioning to aftercare or sober living can be immensely helpful.

Addiction also affects a person’s physical health. Many inpatient rehabs have gyms and physical fitness programmes to encourage holistic recovery.

Drug and Alcohol Addiction in Gold Coast

Alcohol use is prevalent across Australia and Gold Coast is no different. Between 2018 and 2021, there was a 29% increase in alcohol sales. In 2021, there was a 74% increase in people seeking alcohol treatment.

These numbers underscore the need for comprehensive treatment services not just in Gold Coast but across the country as a whole.

Benefits of Coming to Cape Town

While the treatment facilities in Gold Coast can help a person recover, there are still benefits to coming to Cape Town. These benefits include:

Opportunity to Travel

Cape Town is a vibrant city with a lot to offer guests. While coming to Cape Town for treatment may not be the most ideal circumstance, it is still an opportunity to travel and experience a different country.

Price

World-class drug or alcohol addiction treatment can be quite expensive in Australia. Coming to us in South Africa can allow a person to get world-class treatment at a fraction of the price.

Privacy

For a lot of people, being seen as a substance user can be detrimental to their standing in their community. Coming to South Africa to receive treatment can put someone far away from any who may want to intrude on their privacy.

Staff in Recovery

A major benefit of coming to us for treatment is that our staff members are in recovery. They understand how difficult addiction can be and the challenges that our guests face because they’ve faced those same challenges themselves.

Distance from Triggers

Being in South Africa can put a person far away from their triggers. This can allow them to focus on their recovery.

Custom Nutrition Plans

Addiction can affect someone’s physical health and some people can lose a dramatic amount of weight. We provide an onsite chef and customised meal plans to help people regain their physical health.

Maintaning Sobriety Outside of Residential Rehabilitation

The specific needs of the people who seek counselling and treatment for addiction can vary. Some can go through detox and treatment and never use substances again. However, most people will find that sobriety can be difficult to maintain outside of the controlled environment of a rehab centre.

For many people who struggle with addiction, maintaining sobriety in the real world can be hard. This can make going into a sober living home so important for recovery. In a sober living home, a person can live with a measure of independence while receiving continued support for alcohol or drug addiction.

But, if a sober living home isn’t an option, many treatment facilities offer aftercare services. If not, they’ll generally offer referrals to therapists and support groups in the area.

Addiction and Relationships

Addiction is something that can affect a person’s relationships with their friends and family. Some loved ones may recognise that someone is struggling with drug or alcohol use and they may not be prepared to help, so they distance themselves.

At other times, a person may withdraw from their loved ones because they’re using their time to feed their addiction. In some cases, they may lash out at the people around them due to the influence of the substances that they’re on.

Some loved ones may even recognise an addiction and enable their behaviour. Sometimes, this enabling is unintentional. Some loved ones want to help but they don’t know how.

Whatever the case, rehab services often help people develop the skills that they need to repair their relationships with their loved ones.
