The Sydney Retreat

The Sydney Retreat will provide an affordable, accessible, 30-day residential alcohol and drug recovery program based on the world’s most effective approach, the 12-Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.

The Sydney Retreat is independent of AA which does not affiliate with or endorse any outside organisation.

Recovery starts here

This unique facility will open in early 2020 and will provide the ideal environment for people from all walks of life to recognise and understand what their problem is and give them the tools they need to solve it so they can lead useful and productive lives after they leave the program. It’s one thing to get sober, it’s another to stay sober.

Become part of this initiative that has the potential to help hundreds of suffering alcoholics and addicts every year.
