Take back control – starting today.
Has drug use become a way to escape?
What may start as a way to feel better – to numb pain, manage stress, or forget trauma – can quietly grow into something far more consuming. Illicit drugs like ICE, cocaine, heroin, and marijuana are some of the most addictive and widely used substances in Australia. Readily available, they offer short-term relief – but long-term, they erode health, relationships, and self-control.
Drug dependence isn’t about poor choices – it’s often about pain, patterns, and survival. Trauma, mental health struggles, low self-worth, or overwhelming life circumstances can all lead someone down this path. Over time, addiction can impact not just your physical and mental wellbeing, but your safety, relationships, finances, and future.
At Noosa Confidential, we go deeper than symptom management. Our personalised, one-on-one programs uncover the drivers behind addiction and offer the tools, structure, and compassionate support needed to reclaim control – and rebuild a healthier life.
Your journey to stability
Your Plan, Your Way
No guesswork, no one-size-fits-all. We start by hearing your story and digging deeper - reviewing past test results, running targeted assessments, and uncovering what’s really going on beneath the surface. Then we build a program tailored to you — including duration, therapies, medical interventions, and support structures that actually make sense for you.
Detox
Detox isn’t just a step — it’s the solid ground everything else is built on. Our on-site, medically backed detox is tailored to you, tackling chronic pain head-on and easing physical and emotional discomfort with protocols that work. From day one, we settle your nervous system and support your body, making sure you get through detox as comfortably and safely as possible.
Root Cause Rewiring
Once stabilised, we get to work on what’s driving the addiction.
Trauma, emotional patterns, chronic pain, neurological and hormonal imbalances, and relational dynamics are addressed through daily 1:1 sessions, evidence-based tools, and real-world integration.
You’ll learn to understand your patterns, behaviours, and brain-body responses - and more importantly, you’ll gain the knowledge and skills to make different choices moving forward.
Aftercare
Recovery continues after you leave. Every client receives 12 months of structured aftercare, including a dedicated mentor for ongoing support, accountability, and real-world guidance - wherever life takes you.

FAQs
Illicit drug use & recovery
Illicit drug use is complex, and every journey is different. Whether for yourself or a loved one, these FAQs offer clear answers about signs, treatment, and what to expect in recovery.
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.
