Aston Private Detox and Rehab Services
A 28-day residential programme can begin with medically supervised detox, monitored around the clock, and is recorded as short-term residential care with aftercare built in. A separate Lifestyle and Wellness Reset option is offered to people who do not need to withdraw. Alcohol is the recorded focus, treated alongside anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma, and both screening and medical evaluation form part of the route in.
Care is one-to-one: psychological therapy and medical treatment are combined with acupuncture, massage, osteopathy, nutrition, personal training and mindfulness, and each client is paired with a personal recovery mentor. Family support and planning for staying abstinent feed into an aftercare programme with alumni contact. Approaches vary by programme and clinician.

How Much Does Treatment at Aston Private Cost?
Aston Private publishes no prices and quotes a fee after a confidential consultation, once a programme has been proposed. No country range exists in Australia for detox or residential treatment: a single facility, South Pacific Private, publishes a residential rate of AUD 900 to AUD 1,380.95 a day, and that figure belongs to that hospital rather than to this service. Self-pay is the recorded route.
When you call, ask for the quote in writing, and check whether medical supervision during withdrawal, medication and the aftercare programme sit inside the figure or are charged on top, and what an extra week would cost.

Aston Private Reviews
Aston Private has a Google Business Profile carrying only a handful of reviews, broadly positive, with the centre replying to them. A handful is too few to generalise from, so it is worth reading them yourself and judging whether the experiences described resemble your own situation.
Registration, accreditation and the make-up of the clinical team carry more weight than a short review list. Ask directly what aftercare is included and for how long.
I found Aston Private to be a very professional and supportive with a range of options and care. The private part is also true--thoroughly recommend.
I was referred to Aston Private by a close friend who recommended them. The staff were amazing - professional, caring. I felt safe and supported throughout my stay. A special thank you to the nurses who were so caring… in regard to some of my health issues. Thank you so much.
