Riverside Clinic Offers Treatment and Rehabilitation from ICE

Estimates of the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre have brought out an alarming fact. The number of Australians using the illegal drug methamphetamine including crystal methamphetamine or ICE has tripled over the past five years. Riverside Clinic, a Melbourne based addiction treatment service, has opened Riverside Clinic Sanctuary with an innovative framework that treats ICE misuse and addiction.

‘A new study published in the Medical Journal of Australia reported that there are 268,000 regular and dependent methamphetamine users in Australia. One of the study's authors, Sarah Larney, said that five years ago the number of users was about 90,000.’¹  

Riverside Clinic recognises the highly addictive and harmful nature of ICE. Riverside strives to repair the destruction caused on a personal level within the person and heal the damage inflicted on the family unit. They use advanced standards and practices in the field of addiction treatment.

The treatment for individuals rehabilitating from ICE is unique when compared to other best practice treatment models. This is widely due to the harms associated with ICE, including psychological manifestations such as aggression and psychosis alongside a visible and often long-term physical deterioration. Riverside Clinic offers a distinct intervention and rehabilitation service for individuals requiring withdrawal and rehabilitation from ICE misuse.

Riverside’s Sanctuary is run by clinicians who have demonstrated experience in the management of crystal methamphetamine addiction treatment. With ongoing professional development in the field of neuroscience and cognitive restructuring, these clinicians are able to deliver individualised and cutting edge treatment methods.

While ICE addiction has been widely recognised as a problem in Australia, effective treatment options are not easy to find. Riverside Clinic provides the best quality progressive rehabilitation service. They offer unique, personalised solutions that are catered towards the rehabilitation of each patient with ICE related abuse disorders and accompanying conditions.

Riverside Clinic specialises in treating addictive disorders to alcohol, illicit and prescription drugs; and co-occurring mental health issues. The clinic is committed to quality care, delivering cutting edge treatment services, combined with best practice models of therapeutic management, at their purpose built residential facility.
