Get Better Quicker With Residential Alcohol and Drug Treatment
As one of Sydney’s best private rehabilitation centres, we pay attention to the quality of care, ensuring that behaviour change isn’t just another fancy phrase but a priority deeply rooted in day-to-day activities, teachings, code of conduct, and belief systems.
We offer integrated care programs beyond counselling and abstinence, including physical therapy exercises, meditation, group sessions, etc. This ensures that every aspect of addiction is well catered for, resulting in higher chances of mental and emotional recovery.
Our Approach
You may have been to a drug and alcohol rehab, only to drink and retake drugs sometime after you return home. Many people can stop using drugs and alcohol for some time; the challenge for most people is committing to it.
Our program is modelled on the highly effective The Retreat USA, which boasts success rates that far exceed that of any other public or private alcohol and drug rehabilitation program anywhere in the world.
Benefits of Private Residential Treatment
As long as you want to fast-track your recovery while minimising the risks of potential relapse, there’s no better way to do so than to choose a residential treatment program. Similarly, to boost their chances of success, people dependent on alcohol and drugs are often advised to leave their homes and stay in a less distractive environment. That said, private residential, unlike public rehab centres or outpatient treatment programs, allow patients to concentrate on getting their lives back on track and nothing else.
Another benefit to attending a private residential treatment is the level of privacy you or your loved one enjoys while focusing on recovery. Breaking bad habits can be challenging and requires extraordinary effort – one that may require getting out of the comfort zone to succeed. However, when patients are placed in a new environment where there’s no judgement, and everyone is focused on achieving similar goals, it becomes easy to push harder, express vulnerability, and even ask for help.
ADDICTION AND THE BRAIN
Every week at The Sydney Retreat, guests attend a discussion with addiction medicine specialist, Dr Stephen Jurd. In his Addiction and the Brain lecture series, Dr Jurd hears one question over and over again – Why can’t I moderate my drinking and drug use like everyone else? The answer pertains to a small and ancient part of our brains known as the reward pathway. And this part of the brain reacts differently among addicts and alcoholics.
