Detox

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

The Sanctuary Byron Bay provides safe, medically supervised detoxification services with comprehensive medical coverage including experienced physicians and nursing staff on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Our detox programme 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 survive 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 mitigate the sideeffects of the withdrawal process; and
  • help you gain confidence that you will survive and prosper beyond this difficult period.
The various healing modalities 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 proper nutrition will help ease the physical suffering while yoga and meditation will help calm the mind. When you have stabilised and no longer require 24 hour medical care, you will then commence the Intensive Programme.

Comprehensive Medical

If you are not seeking treatment for substance misuse, yet require 24 hour medical care upon admission, we can provide you with Comprehensive Medical coverage with experienced physicians and nursing staff on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When your condition has stabilised, you will then progress to our Intensive Programme.
