Located near the serene Currumbin Beach on the southern Gold Coast, our facility provides a peaceful and confidential setting ideal for healing and recovery.

Holistic Care for Lasting Recovery

At Currumbin Clinic, we understand that addiction is rarely just about substances or behaviours—it’s often linked to deeper emotional, psychological, or trauma-related issues. That’s why our programs are designed to treat the whole person, not just the addiction.

We offer a full continuum of care:

• Inpatient treatment for those needing structured, intensive support
• Day programs for flexible, therapeutic engagement while living at home
• Outpatient services including psychiatric consultations and follow-up care

Our integrated, multidisciplinary approach includes:

• Medically supervised detoxification
• Psychiatric and psychological support
• Group therapy and relapse prevention
• Mindfulness and self-development programs
• Exercise physiology and physical wellness
• Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for co-occurring mental health conditions

We also offer specialised programs such as Project Art, men’s self-development groups, and tailored support for veterans and older adults.

Addiction and Mental Health Treatment (Dual Diagnosis)

Addiction is often linked with mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, or trauma.

At Currumbin Clinic, we provide integrated dual diagnosis treatment on the Gold Coast, addressing:

• Alcohol and drug dependence
• Anxiety and depression
• Trauma-related conditions

Our multidisciplinary team treats the whole person, not just the addiction, supporting sustainable recovery outcomes.
