The Hermitage Centre

About The Hermitage Centre

The Hermitage Centre is a private drug and alcohol detox and rehabilitation retreat in Currumbin on Queensland’s Gold Coast. Designed for a small number of guests, the centre offers a discreet, home-style alternative to a traditional hospital environment, with private accommodation, professional support and personalised recovery planning. Care combines supervised withdrawal support with daily one-to-one counselling, psychotherapy, relapse prevention and complementary wellness services. Treatment plans may draw on evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing and dialectical behaviour therapy. The programme is non-12-Step and can also address co-occurring mental health concerns alongside substance use. The retreat setting supports rest and gradual reconnection with healthy routines. Guests may participate in yoga, meditation, massage, acupuncture, swimming, fitness, creative therapies and outdoor activities around the Gold Coast. Chef-prepared meals, nutrition guidance and private rooms contribute to a comfortable environment during detoxification and short-term residential treatment. Privacy is central to the experience, with a small occupancy, confidential admissions and an emphasis on individual sessions rather than personal disclosure in groups. The facility can arrange airport collection and other transport, while aftercare planning and follow-up counselling help guests prepare for the transition home.
