Prescription medication
Safe, evidence-based support to help you break free from prescription dependency.
Regain control. Restore confidence.
Medications like opioids, benzodiazepines, sleeping pills, stimulants and antidepressants can all lead to dependence — even when prescribed. But the real issue is rarely just the drug. It’s what’s underneath: stress, trauma, pain, burnout, or unresolved mental health challenges.
At Noosa Confidential, we treat prescription medication addiction at the root. Our residential programs are fully customised, combining medical detox, one-on-one therapy, and whole-person care that supports both your physical and psychological recovery.
You don’t need more bandaids.
Is pain relief becoming a source of pain?
What begins as a legitimate prescription can slowly erode your quality of life.
You may have followed every instruction. Taken the right dose. Trusted the process. But dependence can build quickly and quietly. Over time, the very medication meant to help you cope can start to cloud your mind, impact your mood, disrupt your sleep, and chip away at your sense of self.
For many, the shift is subtle. What was once relief becomes routine. Then reliance. Then something harder to name — but impossible to ignore. And for loved ones watching from the outside, it can be confusing and painful to witness.
At Noosa Confidential, we take a medical, psychological, and behavioural approach to recovery. That means supporting the nervous system, addressing pain safely, and helping you reconnect to your body without the fog of medication. With 24/7 care, clinical oversight, and a program tailored to your needs, we focus on restoring clarity, function, and a genuine sense of wellbeing.
Because real recovery isn’t just about getting off the medication.
It’s about reconnecting with who you are without it.
Your journey to stability
Your Plan, Your Way
No assumptions. No one-size-fits-all.
We begin by understanding you — your story, your history, your symptoms, your goals. Then we get clinical clarity by reviewing past reports, running targeted assessments, and uncovering what’s happening beneath the surface. From there we tailor a program built around what you truly need: the right duration, the right therapies, the right medical and psychological support.
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.
