Drug and Alcohol Detox

The best results for recovery from substance misuse are achieved when a period of detoxification precedes the commencement of a rehabilitation program.


The Sanctuary Byron Bay provides a safe, medically supervised Detox Program with comprehensive medical support including experienced physicians and nursing staff available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.


Our Detox Program recognises the importance of helping a client understand the withdrawal process. Often, clients are comforted by learning how their bodies are reacting to the withdrawal of substances from their system, and are better placed to cope with the withdrawal process when they receive supportive and sympathetic feedback.


During the crucial detoxification stage, we will:

  • monitor and help you understand the physical and mental discomforts you may face;
  • provide you with the therapies required to ease the side-effects of the withdrawal process; and
  • help you gain confidence that you will survive and prosper beyond this difficult period.


The various healing therapies offered at The Sanctuary Byron Bay work together during the detoxification stage to help remove toxins, improve physical functioning and increase peace of mind. Nutritional supplements and a healthy diet will help ease the physical suffering while yoga and meditation will help calm the mind.


Comprehensive Medical

If you are not seeking treatment for substance misuse, yet require 24 hour medical care upon admission, we can provide you with a Comprehensive Medical Program with experienced physicians and nursing staff available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Testimonials

“…Thank you for providing a drug treatment program for my son that was also able to deal with his bipolar and ADD/ADHD conditions. Your family program was invaluable as I now have better understanding on how to support him. I’ve also gained valuable knowledge on the complexities of dual diagnosis treatment and am more confident on how to help him manage his issues in the future….” Mother of 17 year old client
