Drug & Alcohol Rehab Cost

Investing in your recovery is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. While there are many treatment options available, it’s essential to choose a program that offers the right environment, structure, and support to ensure lasting sobriety. The Sydney Retreat provides a 28-day, fully immersive experience designed to give you the tools, guidance, and community you need to transform your life.

The program cost reflects the comprehensive level of care provided by our experienced team, including accommodation, meals, and daily support throughout your stay. For many guests, this investment not only restores health and relationships but also prevents the significant emotional and financial costs of ongoing addiction.

Getting clean and sober doesn’t just save money, it gives you the opportunity to live the life you’ve always imagined. The Sydney Retreat provides affordable, accessible and effective residential recovery programs to help drug and alcohol dependent individuals.

Hospitals

These cost around $20,000 to $40,000+ for a 30-day residential program. Because they are hospitals, health insurance should cover most of the cost, leaving a gap to be paid by the patient of around $1,000 to $3,000.

Government funded

These are usually low cost, such as taking a percentage of sickness benefits payment (up to 85%) Most have long waiting times and comfort levels are not as high as you might like.

A life-changing experience

Staying at The Sydney Retreat for the 28-day recovery program was truly a life-changing experience. Going into the retreat, I didn’t know what to expect. The facility itself is great and all the staff are extremely welcoming, compassionate and understanding. I’m grateful that The Sydney Retreat is focused heavily on 12-step recovery and isn’t just another detox. The retreat has provided me with a fresh outlook on life, knowledge of my illness, and above all, the tools to continue sobriety in my new-found life. Forever thankful.

Life Changing Centre

The Sydney Retreat is more than just a wonderful treatment centre, but a LIFE CHANGING centre. The 12 step program literally has saved my life when I had nothing left. All of the staff truly care about your sobriety and wellbeing. Not to mention the COOK “who will remain anonymous” dishes out the best home cooked meals I have had in a very long time. Accommodation is modern and well kept. They even have a pet possum that greets you every night to say goodnight. I am truly grateful to the Sydney Retreat and everyone there for showing me the way to sobriety.

Best thing I’ve ever done for myself

I was lucky enough to be a beneficiary of the scholarship program without which I would have been unable to attend. The program is really well structured and the routine set me up with a positive blueprint for success in the outside world. The staff and volunteers are compassionate and caring and a constant source of support and understanding. Coming here is the best thing I have done for myself in a very long time and I look forward to a long future not crippled by alcoholism. As my husband put it, “I finally have my wife back”.

The Sydney Retreat saved my life

I wanted to stop drinking alcohol though no matter how hard I try, I couldn’t. Year after year I was effectively drinking against my will. During my stay at the retreat, a miracle happened. The obsession to drink alcohol was removed and I was supported to begin working the AA 12 step program. I’m happily sober now and with the support of other sober Alcoholics in AA I need never drink again. If Alcohol is costing you more than money and you want to stop, I highly recommend The program and kind people at The Sydney Retreat can help.

A sober life is possible

The Sydney Retreat completely changed my recovery. For the first time I feel I really understand the disease of addiction and can see the path forward. The Retreat showed me that a sober life is possible and how to do it. It is a testament to the power of one alcoholic helping another. I have since recommended it to people struggling with their addiction as well to people living sober but seeking a deeper understanding of the AA program.
