Melbourne residents travel to Noosa Confidential because we offer more than a detox or break from routine. We provide a transformative healing experience in a therapeutic setting designed to support every step of recovery.
Our location on the Sunshine Coast provides the distance needed to disengage from triggers and daily stressors while remaining close enough for Melbourne families to remain engaged and supported.
Alcohol dependency is often a symptom, not the core problem. At Noosa Confidential, we work closely with each guest to identify the underlying issues contributing to harmful drinking habits. These might include unresolved trauma, chronic stress, emotional pain, or physical imbalances.
By addressing these root causes through an integrated approach that combines medical care, psychological support, nutrition, and lifestyle medicine, we empower guests to achieve sustainable recovery rather than short-term abstinence.
No two people are the same, and neither are our programs. Each guest begins their stay with a comprehensive assessment, allowing us to create a truly personalised care plan that evolves as they do.
Your program may include:
Our structured yet flexible approach ensures guests remain actively involved in their recovery journey with measurable progress every step of the way.
Healing from alcohol dependency requires a team effort. Our guests benefit from a collaborative team that includes:
Working in harmony, our team ensures each aspect of your recovery is addressed with expert care, compassion, and consistency.
Our residential estate on the Sunshine Coast supports recovery, offering a serene, private setting where guests can heal in comfort and peace. Guests stay in comfortable, private rooms within a natural environment that fosters peace and reflection, with the opportunity to enjoy guided walks through nearby rainforest trails or along the beach, always supported by our dedicated team.
With shared spaces designed for calm interaction and one-on-one consultations conducted in private settings, our estate strikes a balance between therapeutic structure and personal space. For Melbourne clients, it offers an ideal retreat to fully immerse in the healing process while remaining within reach.
We believe that family plays a vital role in recovery. That’s why we involve families as part of the therapeutic process where appropriate - offering education, guidance, and support.
Our team helps families in Melbourne understand the nature of alcohol dependency, how to support their loved one during and after treatment, and how to set healthy boundaries that contribute to lasting change.
Continued support and aftercare planning are also integral parts of our process, ensuring that our guests are well-prepared for life beyond residential care.
Feel at ease knowing your initial enquiry will be kept in the strictest of confidence. We understand guests might want complete anonymity, so we guarantee your enquiry will be handled with the utmost discretion, and at no point will anyone be made aware you have engaged our services.
Each of our practitioners on staff is degree qualified and possess a vast amount of practical experience. Our integrated team works collaboratively to deliver a unique solution focussed program to ensure lasting wellness.
If you or someone you love in Melbourne is struggling with alcohol dependency, Noosa Confidential offers a path forward - private, respectful, and rooted in real healing.

What is the difference between a one-on-one program, a group program or a blended program?
A one-on-one program means every therapy and treatment is delivered exclusively in a private, individual setting.
A group program means all sessions take place in a group or classroom-style environment.
A blended program combines both—most services are delivered in a group setting, with only a few therapy sessions happening one-on-one.
What does all-inclusive really mean?
It means there are no additional out of pocket expenses. Some service providers offer “limited” programs often called “essentials or Foundation programs” which are designed to make their cup front pricing appear to be favourable, however, upon arrival guests are likely to require purchasing additional add-ons to ensure the solution is comprehensive.
Everything included in NC programs is deemed necessary and all guests are exposed to everything we offer.
Will I have a consistent team?
Yes. At Noosa Confidential, you’ll work with one dedicated team throughout your entire stay. From your initial assessment through to your personalised program, aftercare planning, and ongoing support, your team will remain consistent. This continuity builds deep trust, ensures aligned care, and allows your clinicians and therapists to better understand your needs, goals, and progress.
Who is the non-residential program best suited for?
This program is designed for individuals with milder symptoms and isn’t suitable for those with co-occurring conditions or behavioural issues like addiction, OCD, or eating disorders. It’s ideal for people seeking high-quality, personalised care but do not necessitate a full rehabilitation program.
How does Noosa Confidential support recovery?
We create personalised residential programs that treat the whole person – combining therapy, medical care, nutrition, and aftercare to support long-term wellbeing.
What is included in the program cost?
Our residential programs cover everything except flights, providing all-inclusive care with no hidden fees or add-ons. Each residential guest benefits from thorough preparation and support before arrival, a fully immersive experience including all therapies, treatments, activities, tests, meals, accommodation, airport transfers, and 12 months of comprehensive aftercare.
Outpatient programs are designed with flexible formats and pricing depending on your program needs. Please contact us for more information.
How many guests are accommodated at once?
We limit our intake to just five guests at a time — intentionally — so every individual receives the dedicated, personalised care they deserve.
What is the duration of the programs?
Program duration is always focused on driving real, lasting change—not simply checking boxes or meeting arbitrary timelines. It reflects the time needed for meaningful biological and behavioural shifts to take hold.
What does ‘tailored treatment’ mean?
Tailored means every element of the program — therapies, treatments, testing, diet, activities and daily schedule — is personalised and adjusted as each guest’s needs shift, ensuring support stays relevant to their current experience rather than a fixed plan
What conditions do you treat?
We treat a range of primary concerns including substance use, mental health disorders, trauma, and co-occurring conditions.
At the same time, we address other impactful issues such as disrupted sleep, poor gut health, relationship challenges, chronic pain and more - because real recovery means treating the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
Is rehabilitation covered by insurance?
In Australia, to have a program covered by private health insurance, you need the optional “hospital cover,” which applies only to hospitals or clinics.
Privately funded and operated programs like ours aren’t classified as hospitals or clinics, so they aren’t covered. However, these programs provide a higher, more individualised, and more effective level of care than what’s typically available in the mainstream system.
What should I expect during rehabilitation?
Expect honesty. Expect disruption. Expect to be challenged - compassionately, but directly.
Rehab at NC isn’t a retreat or a break from life. It’s a full system reset. From day one, you’ll be surrounded by a dedicated team that includes doctors, therapists, nurses, nutritionists, bodyworkers, and functional medicine practitioners - each working together to support your unique needs.
You’ll begin with thorough testing to get a clear picture of what’s actually going on: biologically, psychologically, and behaviourally. From there, your program is built and adapted daily to your needs.
Expect daily one-on-one therapy, medical and nutritional support, gut health work, body-based treatments, and nervous system regulation. No filler. Just the right support, at the right time, delivered by a team that’s in your corner. And for residential patients, when you leave, the work continues with 12 months of aftercare to back you up.
How long does rehabilitation take?
After 16 years in operation, we know that anything less than 4 weeks in residence rarely scratches the surface.
Real change takes time - which is why every program includes 12 months of comprehensive aftercare as standard.
We don’t want repeat business. We want you well.
What is rehabilitation?
Rehabilitation is where the life changing work happens.
It's not about going back to who you were, but moving forwards to a new and empowered version of self.
It’s a focused, no-nonsense process designed to tackle the root causes of your challenges; whether addiction, mental health, trauma, or other complex issues.
Unlike quick fixes, wellness retreats, or surface-level treatments, rehab isn’t about feeling good for a moment or masking symptoms. It’s about getting real with yourself and committing to tailored therapies, medical care, and practical support that create lasting change.
Let’s talk about how we can support you.
