Rehab is for anyone who would like to reduce or stop their alcohol or other drug use and make long term changes to be maintained after the program ends.
If you’re finding your alcohol or other drug use is impacting other areas of your life, for example your relationships with friends, family and loved ones, or your ability to maintain employment, you might like to try making some changes with support from other people who can understand what you’re going through.
Detox – also known as withdrawal – is the process of stopping use of alcohol or other drugs so your body can begin to become used to not having substances in the short term. Some people may need support to do this, as withdrawal symptoms can be unpleasant and difficult to manage alone. Once withdrawal has taken place, people may decide to start rehab so they can maintain the reduction or elimination of alcohol or other drugs from their lifestyle.
Uniting do not offer detox services in Tasmania. Please visit the Tasmanian Department of Health website or call the National Alcohol and Other Drug hotline on 1800 250 015 to find a withdrawal service to attend before contacting Catalyst about rehabilitation programs.
Yes, we recommend you stop taking substances while you attend a rehabilitation program, as it will be easier to attend, make new habits, and find the motivation to continue.
Once you decide to make changes to your substance use, our staff can work with you to identify your goals and help you choose the right service. The service might be delivered by Uniting, or one of a number of other organisations that are conveniently located to you.
The Catalyst rehabilitation program has supported over 1,000 people to reduce or stop substance use by helping to put new habits in place throughout the program. Because the program runs during the day between 10am – 3pm, people find they can return home each day and start to put the habits they’ve learned into practice immediately. People who have completed the program say they feel more empowered to reframe their thoughts and make different choices in the long-term.
