Why The Sydney Retreat For Alcohol & Drug Addiction?

[/vc_column_text][us_separator][vc_column_text]In July 2014, a group of dedicated professionals and recovered individuals pooled their financial resources and experience and began planning The Sydney Retreat. This shared commitment and generosity have created an affordable, accessible and effective residential recovery service to help alcohol and drug-dependent individuals recover.

The Sydney Retreat is much more than your average not-for-profit drug and alcohol treatment centre. All staff and volunteers have recovered from alcohol or drug addiction and are there to support and guide you through your recovery program. There is truly no one better to support your recovery journey than those who have successfully walked the path before you.

The Sydney Retreat is a life-changing experience.[/vc_column_text][us_separator size=”small”][us_btn label=”Read more” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thesydneyretreat.org.au%2Fservices%2F30-day-residential%2F|title:Residential%20Treatment”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner animate=”afr” width=”1/2″][us_image image=”4065″ align=”center” style=”shadow-1″ animate=”afc”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][us_separator][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner animate=”afl” width=”1/2″][us_image image=”6948″ size=”full” align=”center” style=”shadow-1″ has_ratio=”1″ ratio=”3×2″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner animate=”afr” width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Why Residential Alcohol and Drug Treatment?

Residential treatment programs are widely regarded as the most effective way to combat drug and alcohol addiction. These programs are designed to help individuals fast-track their recovery and reduce the likelihood of relapse. The key advantage of a residential treatment program is the environment that it provides. Unlike outpatient programs or public rehab centres, residential programs offer patients a less distracting environment that allows them to focus entirely on their recovery journey. This level of focus and concentration is critical when battling addiction, where distractions can derail even the most committed individuals.

Residential treatment programs are the best option for anyone looking to overcome drug or alcohol addiction. With their supportive environment, privacy and confidentiality, and expert care, these programs provide the ideal conditions for individuals to reclaim their lives and begin the journey to lasting recovery.[/vc_column_text][us_separator size=”small”][us_btn label=”Read more” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thesydneyretreat.org.au%2Fservices%2Four-approach%2F|title:Our%20Approach”][us_separator size=”small”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” disable_element=”yes”][vc_column_inner animate=”afl” width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

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.
