Come Up for AIR — Recover at Home

AIR stands for Addiction In-Home Recovery — a name that reflects our commitment to providing safe, medical detox in the privacy of your own home. But it also means something more.

It symbolises a fresh start. A chance to come up for air after feeling overwhelmed or stuck. For many people, addiction can feel like drowning — and our program is designed to offer a way to reset, recover, and start again with support, privacy, and personalised medical care.

We chose the name AIR because that’s what we aim to offer: space to breathe and a chance to recover — all from the safety of home.

Our Mission

We believe everyone deserves a safe, private, and supportive path to recovery — without the shame or stigma often associated with addiction treatment.

Founded by Dr Hok Yee Siu, an experienced GP with a background in emergency medicine and addiction care, AIR Detox was created to fill a critical gap in the health system: providing high-quality, medically supervised alcohol and drug detox in the comfort of your own home.

For many people, going into a hospital or rehab facility simply isn’t realistic. Whether it’s due to work, family, or privacy concerns, the barriers to accessing help can feel overwhelming. We designed our service to remove those barriers. Our 7-day in-home detox programs are tailored to your needs and led by a qualified doctor — with daily check-ins, 24-hour medical support, and prescription medications to manage withdrawal symptoms safely.

While we’re not a rehabilitation service, we’re here to help you take that critical first step. After your detox, we’ll support you in planning the next phase of your recovery — whether that involves counselling, rehabilitation, peer support, or another pathway that’s right for you. You’ll receive a personalised aftercare plan with practical tools, resources, and recommendations for ongoing support. We’ll also provide unlimited complimentary medical reviews over the next 12 months, helping you stay on track and offering guidance as your recovery evolves.

We work closely with public health partners and are proud to offer government-funded places for eligible patients across the Gold Coast PHN Region.

Recover, Your Way

Our patients aren’t passive recipients of care — they’re partners in their own recovery.
We provide the structure and medical support. You bring the courage.

Your Doctor

Dr Hok Yee Siu, Medical Director

Dr Hok Yee Siu is a GP with extensive experience in emergency medicine and addiction care. He founded AIR Detox with his wife, Catriona, to provide a safer, more accessible path to recovery for people who need discreet and effective medical support from home. Having treated many patients struggling with addiction in emergency departments, rehabilitation centres and GP consulting rooms, Dr Siu saw firsthand the barriers that prevent people from getting help — stigma, inflexible care models, and a lack of personalised support. AIR Detox was created to change that. He now leads all clinical care at AIR, offering medically supervised detox programs that prioritise safety, compassion, and dignity. He believes that recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all — and that everyone deserves the chance to get better, in a way that works for them.

What We Offer

Every program is different, because every person is different. We tailor your care based on your history, needs, and goals — whether you’re seeking support for alcohol, cannabis, or cocaine use. With options for in-person care on the Gold Coast and telehealth services nationwide, we ensure that help is within reach, no matter where you are in Australia.
