THE SERVICE
Maruma-li is a fifteen-bed medically assisted inpatient withdrawal unit on the grounds of Wyong Hospital on the NSW Central Coast, run by Central Coast Local Health District Drug and Alcohol Services. It admits voluntary patients aged 18 and over withdrawing from alcohol and other drugs, with doctors and nurses on site around the clock. Stays run three to fourteen days, most often about five. Visitors and personal phone calls are not permitted, and admission is arranged through the district intake officer.
Published as not offered here: residential rehabilitation.
Ask the admissions team how withdrawal would be handled and how a transfer into treatment works.
CARE & DAILY LIFE
Ask about staff qualifications, medication policy, accessibility and any specific support needs before you decide. Almost no service in this directory publishes what it will and will not admit.
COST
We hold what this service publishes, and we do not put a price at the top of a profile for the public to sort on. The cheapest service on a page is rarely the right one for a particular person, and a quote that comes with the conversation about what is included is worth more than a band. Professional referrers see the figures in their workspace.
Medicare, NSW health public funding
ONGOING SUPPORT
Details of ongoing support are not published here. Ask the service what support is available when your treatment ends.
PROFESSIONAL ENDORSEMENTS
Endorsements come from registered professionals — psychologists, addiction GPs, lawyers, social workers — who have referred someone here and put their name to what happened. None yet does not mean poor ones: it means nobody has written one.
