Our story
The Sydney Retreat and the 12-step program as pioneered by Alcoholics Anonymous
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.
The model adopted by The Sydney Retreat is a departure from the clinical approach other drug and alcohol rehabilitation centres use. The Sydney Retreat allows our clients to have regular contact with recovery community members who have managed to stop drinking and taking drugs.
