Detox to recovery, all under the same roof.
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 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, an Aftercare Caseworker and a General Practitioner.
The residential alcohol and drug treatment program at Wyla is part of a continuous package of care.

How much does it cost?
We aim to provide accessible and affordable residential treatment. There is a non-refundable deposit of $280 for our detox program. There is also a non-refundable deposit of $700 for our rehabilitation program (this fee includes your first two weeks of treatment and a medication levy). After that, the payments are $650 per fortnight if you are on benefits. If you are on Youth Allowance (ages 18-24), the payment is $630 per fortnight.
If you can self-fund, the payments are $600 per fortnight.
How long is the program?
The program is delivered over six-week cycles, with the flexibility to be extended up to three months, depending on your individual recovery and bed availability.
You can receive support from the moment you contact us, until you are fully settled back into the community through our Aftercare program. You can also access our services before, during and after your stay. Clients required to complete a 12-week treatment as per their legal orders will complete the six-week program cycle twice, as will clients who choose to stay for the 12-week program.
More FAQs about Wyla
The program supports people over 18 years.
Before you enter Wyla you will work closely with our pre- and post- teams to support you in preparing for Wyla. As Wyla is part of Lives Lived Well, you can access any of the Lives Lived Well services prior to coming to stay with us.
Evidence suggests that success is more likely if based on whether someone completes a program, rather than based on how long a person stays. Studies show that up to 65 per cent of residents don’t stay beyond three months in Australian residential programs.
Therefore, to give people a better chance of program completion, we offer a 6 to 12 week program that is supported by extensive before and after care services in the community. For those who need a longer residential experience, the 12 week period can be extended.
Wyla offers a safe and supportive withdrawal service, on-site. View more information here.
We know entering residential treatment is a big step. From day one, we’ll aim to make you feel welcome and understood, as we get to know you and your needs. Shortly after you arrive, you’ll be introduced to a treatment facilitator who will work with you to tailor a range of supports to match your needs. You’ll also meet our registered nurses who will ask you questions about your medical background so we can best support you during your stay with us.
We believe people should drive their own treatment, so we support you to develop your own case plan, set realistic goals, and implement action plans relevant to your life circumstances. Our rehabilitation program also includes:
- a structured daily routine
- social, recreational and vocational programs
- mindfulness meditation
- a virtues program
- relapse prevention.
A key focus is establishing and practising a drug and alcohol-free routine in preparation for going home. Attendance at local AA/NA meetings is facilitated for those who’d like to attend. The program also includes group sessions from key stakeholders such as Lifeline and Likemind, trips to the gym offsite and a weekly outing.
Completing a drug and alcohol residential program is an achievement but only one step on a longer journey. After you leave Wyla, we’ll work with you towards achieving independent living in the community.
You can also access free, ongoing counselling in the community through one of our outreach services. We can also help link you with other services that you may need, such as education, childcare and employment.
Wyla is located at Building 31, Canobolas Drive, Bloomfield Campus, Forest Road in Orange, New South Wales.
During your stay, you will have regular access to your mobile phone in a dedicated session, at which time you can call your family. You can also send and receive letters. Phone messages can be left at reception for you. You can apply for weekend day leave from your seventh week in treatment.
Please note, we cannot provide any information to family members calling to inquire about your treatment due to privacy obligations. If you wish us to provide them with information, we will need your consent to authorise this.
