Drug addiction, also known as substance use disorder (SUD), is a chronic condition characterised by the compulsive use of drugs despite harmful consequences. This disorder significantly impacts physical health, mental wellbeing, and social relationships. At Hinterland Health Retreat, we offer a comprehensive treatment program designed to tackle the complexities of drug addiction.
The side effects of drug addiction are diverse and severe, including cardiovascular diseases, respiratory issues, cognitive impairments, and heightened risk of infectious diseases. Behavioural changes such as increased aggression, social withdrawal, and neglect of personal responsibilities are common. These symptoms can severely disrupt daily life and overall wellbeing.
Multiple factors contribute to the development of drug addiction, including genetic predisposition, psychological stress, environmental influences, and social factors. Co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety and depression often accompany substance use disorders, complicating the recovery process.
Globally, drug addiction affects millions of people. In Australia, it is estimated that nearly 3 million people have used illicit drugs in the past year. In the United States, approximately 19.3 million adults battled a substance use disorder in the past year, highlighting the extensive impact of this issue.
The primary ways people develop drug addiction include genetic vulnerabilities, high-stress environments, peer pressure, and early exposure to drugs. These factors can initiate and perpetuate a cycle of dependency that is challenging to overcome without professional intervention.
At Hinterland Health Retreat, our drug addiction treatment program is designed to provide holistic and individualised care. Our 30-acre facility, nestled in the tranquil Sunshine Coast Hinterland, offers an optimal setting for recovery and healing.
Our treatment plan is unique in its incorporation of advanced neuro-technology to help balance the brain and help mitigate the symptoms of addiction. This innovative approach addresses the neurological aspects of substance dependence, enhancing brain health and cognitive function. By calming the nervous system, neuro-technology optimises the efficacy of other therapeutic modalities.
We utilise evidence-based therapies to help individuals process the emotions related to their addiction and the circumstances surrounding it. These therapies provide individuals with the tools to manage cravings, avoid triggers, and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Holistic therapies are an integral part of our treatment program. Daily exercise routines help to alleviate stress and promote physical health. Personalised nutrition plans ensure that dietary habits support recovery, enhancing overall well-being. Complementary treatments such as I.V. therapy replenish vital nutrients, help with detoxing and support the body's natural healing processes.
Our comprehensive aftercare program provides ongoing support and guidance beyond the initial treatment phase. We offer regular follow-ups and access to wellness tools and resources to help individuals maintain their progress and prevent relapse. Personalised care plans and continued therapy sessions ensure sustained recovery and long-term success.
