Binbi Yadubay Withdrawal

Looking to kick-start your recovery? We can help.

“Binbi Yadubay – Healthy Beginnings” is a voluntary live-in withdrawal and rehabilitation unit for people aged 18 and over.

As part of this service, we provide a safe and 24-hour supported environment to withdraw from alcohol and/or other drugs, with space for up to 8 clients.

On completion, you can continue your recovery with a stay at our 32-bed residential treatment program, located on the same site. Find out more about this rehabilitation program here.

Here are some questions you may have about the Withdrawal Support program:

The program is delivered over 5 to 10 days, depending on your situation.

The program has medical and support staff on site 24 hours a day with a multidisciplinary team of Drug and Alcohol Workers, Registered Nurses, Caseworkers, Senior Mental Health Practitioners, a Continuing Care Caseworker, and a visiting General Practitioner.

This Withdrawal Support program provides:

  • withdrawal management under the supervision of a medical officer
  • 1-1 counselling and case management
  • group programs
  • transition to the residential rehabilitation program.

As this is a smoke-free facility, we do offer nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) patches.

You will be welcomed by staff and allocated a room, before undergoing a comprehensive assessment completed by a Registered Nurse and a General Practitioner. Your withdrawal treatment plan will be tailored around your individual circumstances. After a night’s rest you will begin participating in the weekly program’s group work and activities.

We aim to provide accessible and affordable residential treatment. You will need to pay some money towards your stay, usually a portion of your Centrelink payment. The amount depends on the type of benefit or payment you receive.

For self-funded clients, contributions are based on an equivalent cost to those receiving Centrelink.

There are no additional fees or charges—what is sometimes referred to as an ‘upfront fee’ simply refers to the first two weeks of client contributions.

We understand financial situations differ, so we offer fee relief to ensure no one is denied support due to an inability to pay. If you have any questions or concerns about costs, please call our friendly Contact Team on 1300 727 957.

Finances should never be a barrier to getting help.

Unfortunately, visitors are not permitted in the withdrawal and detox unit; however, family and friends can call to check on your progress, within the consent guidelines you have agreed to.

On admission you will be able to make one personal phone call to let people know you have arrived. You will also be allowed to make one personal phone call on discharge. All other phone calls are at the discretion of your case-worker.
