A safe environment to withdraw from alcohol and/or other drugs.
Wyla Residential Services is a voluntary medical detoxification and rehabilitation service in the Bloomfield Hospital Campus, just outside Orange in Central NSW.
Wyla provides a safe environment to withdraw from alcohol and/or other drugs, as well as a 20-bed residential unit for people who need a structured live-in environment and have completed the Wyla detox program or have been transferred from another detox unit.
While staying with us in a drug-free, non-smoking environment, you will undertake an evidence-based live-in detoxification program, which provides strategies to help you:
- reduce substance use
- manage life challenges
- develop goals
- and prevent relapse, towards supporting lives free from the harms of drugs or alcohol.
Wyla’s programs are delivered by a multidisciplinary team of Support Workers, Registered Nurses, Treatment Facilitators, Senior Clinician, Aftercare and a General Practitioner.
Admission and referrals
You don’t need a GP referral. You can self-refer through our website here. If you have limited access to the internet or would prefer to speak to us to request a referral, please phone our Contact Team on 1300 727 957.
We also accept online provider referrals from other health professionals, services and community and government organisations or they can fax referrals to 07 5546 8223.
Admission timeframes vary. Be assured, you will be supported by our Pre and Post Team until you can be admitted into our live-in service. Once your referral is received, your support begins.
How much does it cost?
You must pay a non-refundable deposit of $280 before arrival for your stay in the withdrawal and detox unit. You will not need to pay for withdrawal medications other than pharmacotherapy. As Wyla is a smoke-free facility, we offer nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) patches.
If you wish to use other forms of NRT e.g., inhalator and chewing gum, this needs to be purchased at your own expense. Please note, we do not allow NRT sprays due to their alcohol content.
How long is the withdrawal process?
The withdrawal program is typically seven days. Wyla has medical and support staff on site 24 hours a day with a multidisciplinary team of Support Workers, Registered Nurses, Treatment Facilitators, Senior Clinician, an Aftercare Caseworker, and a General Practitioner.
