About
Gunnebah Addiction Retreat is a residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre set on a rural property at Nobbys Creek, near Murwillumbah and about an hour from the Gold Coast. It's fully residential with private rooms, and is designed to feel less like a clinic and more like a safe, relaxed home away from the triggers of everyday life.
Treatment is evidence-based and individualised, drawing on cognitive behavioural therapy, group therapy and relapse-prevention strategies rather than following a single fixed model, with detox support and integrated mental health care. There's a dedicated DVA-supported program for veterans, and comprehensive aftercare. The minimum stay is 28 days, with longer programs encouraged, and the facility is QIP accredited.
