Services
Our most popular service is our Addiction Recovery Process Day Rehabilitation Program; an intensive program with you and your recovery team spending up to 20 hours a week together over a 8 – 12 week period (average is between 6 to 8 hours per week).
Our goal is to replace your old, unhealthy life and mindset with new, healthier ones. So we focus on understanding and healing the past – and then rebuilding the future. We’ll design a custom rehab program for you and review it at the end of the first week to make sure everything’s on track. We don’t hold group sessions, and we don’t use a 12 step program. Instead, we believe in self-empowerment so that you can maintain a healthy lifestyle and mindset long term.
What the Day Rehab Program includes:
- Intensive one-on-one sessions with our specialist team
- Up to 20 contact hours a week over an eight to twelve week period
- Individual rehab program designed to suit you
- Personality profiling
- Analysis of the root cause of your addiction
- A well-being program as part of the recovery journey
- Complete confidentiality at our discreet private clinic
Counselling
At The Whitehaven Clinic, we specialise in individualised programs and offer our clients dedicated, one-on-one personalised care. At your initial assessment we will determine your current state of health so that we can develop a treatment plan that specifically addresses your requirements.

- Testing for blood-borne viruses
- Liver function tests
- Naturopathy assessment
- Blood tests to check for chemical imbalances, vitamin deficiencies, food allergies and seratonin & dopamine levels
Medical Detox
If you are severely dependant on drugs or alcohol, you may need medical detoxification to reduce your physical dependence on the substance before you can begin our Day Rehab Program.
We can arrange:
- Referral to a medical detox facility, in a hospital or home setting, depending on the severity of your addiction and your stage of change
- Home-based support during the detox process
- Naturopathy detox options
The Program Director will determine if medical detoxification is required at your Initial Assessment.
Whitehaven Clinic ™ Addiction Recovery Process Program for Parents & Partners
The one clear leader to increase the likelihood of a client getting better during treatment is having a solid family-based support network. Ensuring that a clients’ support network is aligned with their outcomes is a clear winner in treatment success.
By the time a client reaches The Whitehaven Clinic™, their parents or partner, has often had enough. They have had to deal with the fall out of a client’s unhealthy behaviours, sometimes for years. The parents or partner, can also unwittingly be partaking in unhealthy behaviours – resulting in the relationship becoming toxic and communication has significantly deteriorated and is operating from a place of frustration and anger.

- Give you the best tools and strategies to get positive outcomes in your relationship;
- Each session is 90 -120 minutes long allowing for in-depth work (it goes quicker than you think!)

Whitehaven Clinic ™ Addiction Recovery Process Program for Teens
When a teen has an addiction issue it’s difficult to know where to start. The Whitehaven Clinic’s™ Teens Program is tailor made for teenagers aged 13 to 19 years old – right down to the way the program is delivered and the language that we use! Our structured program gives the teen, their parents and family members, direction and guidance to the best possible treatment outcomes.
Our program is unique in that it looks at the teen’s treatment requirements, and also incorporates a strong focus on rebuilding relationships within the family. We recognise that parents and family are an important part of the teens recovery network and they each have their own unique treatment needs. Our Teens Program is designed to specifically address the unique issues that each relationship within the family dynamic faces, and provide alternative strategies that work to create positive outcomes.
First Step – Assessing Treatment Needs
The initial assessment is an integral part of setting up the treatment process. During the assessment, our Program Director will be assessing your teens suitability for the program, their readiness for change, as well as determining their personality type and underlying personality-based triggers contributing to their addiction of choice.
When meeting the parent/s, we are looking for additional observations and an understanding of timeline around your teen’s addiction. The Program Director is also looking at the family dynamics and possible conflict and issues within the familial relationships.
All information gathered during the initial assessment is incorporated into the treatment plan which forms the basis of the program sessions going forward.
Second Step: The Treatment Process
The Teens Program consists of a number of one-on-one individualised sessions with both your teen, and yourself as their parent/s, before engaging in joint sessions to work through presenting issues. Our focus on identifying the underlying root cause of addictive behaviours means that your teen is able to understand their core drivers and learn how to regulate their emotionality which in turn helps with better decision making and behaviours.
Dependant on treatment needs, the program will engage your teen for approximately 6 – 8 weeks of treatment, with several reassessment points before exit;
As the parent/s, you will have a minimum of 12 hours of intensive one-on-one contact with a qualified therapist specialising in addiction recovery (can be extended depending on treatment needs);
Our program incorporates family sessions to co-create the best ways to support your teen.
How our program is different:
- Sessions are tailored specifically to address your teen’s unique treatment needs;
- In the initial phase of treatment, we work separately with your teen to work through the issues before joint sessions with yourself as the parent/s and/or other family members;
- We incorporate parents and family into the treatment plan separately as their needs differ and are an important part of the recovery journey for your teen.
- Structured program looking at the underlying root cause of addictive behaviours therefore we help your teen identify specific issues and resolutions;

Whitehaven Clinic ™ Gambling Recovery Treatment (GRT) Program
When someone has a gambling addiction, it can be challenging to know where to start to get help. The nature of problematic gambling is that it can destroy a person’s financial stability, their credit rating, and their self-esteem creating massive stress and a self-perpetuating cycle. Often there’s a trial of loans and debts and broken relationships in their wake in response to their attempts to rectify their situation.
Like any addicts’ behaviours, family and friends can unknowingly continue enabling the gambler by continuing to “bail them out just one last time.” The reason this doesn’t work is that nothing has changed other than providing the gambler with the breathing space to start the cycle all over again – and become more clandestine each time.
Every gambling addict is desperate to address the financial bind that they find themselves in – and what is the quickest way to resolve the issue? Well, by gambling of course! And so the cycle continues. Meanwhile their mental and emotional health is suffering as they become increasingly desperate for resolution.
The Whitehaven Clinic’s Gambling Recovery Treatment (GRT) Program is a structured program focusing on addressing the underlying root cause of addictive behaviours. It addresses the reasons for the addiction of choice, and works with the client to develop strategies to eliminate gambling behaviours. Our program is unique in that we look at the client’s treatment requirements, and an individual treatment plan is developed. You then work with your program facilitator one-on-one through to completion of your program.
The goal of the Gambling Recovery Process Treatment Program is for participants to develop long-term sustainable behavioural change. The focus of the program is for participants to understand the underlying root cause of their gambling and “why I do what I do”. This provides self-knowledge and self-empowerment to develop better quality strategies moving forward.
Step 1 – Assessing Your Treatment Needs
As part of our intake process, the first step is to organise an Initial Assessment where we meet with you to determine your current situation, treatment requirements and readiness for change.
- At the end of your initial assessment, you will have:
- An understanding of why you are gambling;
- A high-level understanding of the underlying personality issues and triggers contributing to your problematic gambling;
- An overview of your treatment plan.
The initial assessment is an integral part of setting up the treatment process. During the assessment, our Program Director will be speaking with you to determine your suitability for the program, your readiness for change, as well as determining your personality type and underlying personality-based triggers contributing to your gambling.
All information gathered during the initial assessment is incorporated into the treatment plan which forms the basis of the program sessions going forward.
You will be given homework straight after the session looking at your own personality type in preparation for session one.
Step 2 – The Treatment Process
The GRP Treatment Program consists of a number of one-on-one individualised sessions to work through presenting issues. Our focus on identifying the underlying root cause of addictive behaviours means that you will understand and address your core drivers, providing insight into what you do what you do – and most importantly, what to do instead of. This helps with better decision making and behavioural outcomes and consequences.
- Dependant on treatment needs, your program will consist of 6 – 8 weeks treatment, with several reassessment points before exit;
- All session times are confirmed at the start of your program and consist of three sessions per week for the first three weeks. We then conduct a review of your treatment gains before deciding whether to reduce down sessions for subsequent weeks;
- If you wish to have your family or partner also involved in understanding how to best support you moving forward, we can also incorporate this into your program. We have a partner/family specific program providing a minimum of 12 hours of intensive one-on-one contact with a qualified therapist specialising in addiction recovery (can be extended depending on treatment needs);
How our program is different:
- The Gambling Recovery Treatment Program is a proprietary based program developed by The Whitehaven Clinic™ incorporating world best practice in addiction treatment.
- This is an individualised and structured program; there is no group work.
- The program is specifically tailored to address your unique treatment needs.
- The program is based on psychological based personality profiling so you understand your underlying personality-based triggers.
- Each session is 90 minutes long allowing for in-depth work (it goes quicker than you think!).
Sessions have a homework component consisting of exercises and additional reading to complement learnings during sessions.

Corporate + Workplace
Drug and alcohol use at work is an increasingly common problem. Not only does it affect productivity, it can become a much more serious issue when occupational health and safety requirements are violated.
Under the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations Act 1996, it’s every company’s responsibility to have risk management processes in place around alcohol and other drug use in the workplace.
At The Whitehaven Clinic, we see many clients from all levels of the corporate sector. In our experience, employees are very appreciative for the workplace intervention and it often becomes a catalyst for a huge amount of positive change in their life. Our facilities are private, discreet and our services are confidential.We also run Addiction in the Workplace education workshops and can supply guest speakers for corporate events and seminars. For more information on these services, please send us an email.
Prison Program
Addiction Recovery Process Program in Prisons
The prison program is an individualised one-on-one program delivered to private clients in prison. It contains the same content as the proprietary Addiction Recovery Process (ARP) Program delivered to Whitehaven Clinic clients.
The ARP Program focusses on understanding and resolving the underlying root cause of addictive behaviour, as well as improving levels of healthiness which is based on levels of psychological development. The goal is to assist clients to learn why they do what they do so that they can learn what to do instead of – therefore providing a solid base for recovery. It also addresses specific issues for prisoners facing release.
We currently provide the ARP Program to private clients located at Hakea, Casuarina, Acacia, Karnet and Wooroloo Prisons.
Process of engagement
Step 1: Initial Assessment
Meeting through Official Visits, the client’s Initial Assessment is to determine suitability for the program and their motivation for change. As this is an in-depth transformational program, it is essential that the client is aligned with the program objectives. At the end of this 90 minute session, the client will have an understanding of the underlying reasons for their addictive behaviours and be able to decide if they wish to continue with the program.
Step 2: Completion of the Addiction Recovery Process Program:
If deemed suitable, the client is then take through the Addiction Recovery Process Program on a weekly basis for approximately 8 – 12 weeks. The program is broken into “modules” that replicate what is covered during the day rehab program at The Whitehaven Clinic.
Step 3: Parole Support Report:
On completion of the program, a report is then written for submission to the Prisoner Review Board. This is an in-depth report (about 5-7 pages long) and outlines what the client has covered in the Addiction Recovery Process Program, level of engagement and their progress. This report is designed to address the key criteria outlined in parole requirements. It can also include options for through care at residential rehab, or alternatively continue with day rehab at Whitehaven Clinic on release.
