Residential Treatment Programs

At The Sanctuary Byron Bay we tailor treatment programs to address the specific needs and issues of each individual client. As a particular treatment might be appropriate for one but not another, we take the time to understand your preferences and circumstances - who you are, where you’ve come from and where you want to go. Our programs are therefore always built from ‘the ground up’ by renowned professionals from a range of healing modalities. We all work as a team to create a customised treatment plan with the aim of restoring optimum health within an intensive time-frame.


Our multidisciplinary team, specialising in the best of both Eastern and Western healing modalities, include: general practitioners, a psychiatrist, a psychologist, psychotherapists, nurses, naturopaths, dieticians, physiotherapists, shiatsu practitioners, yoga and meditation instructors, massage therapists, personal trainers, personal chefs, dieticians and 24 hour carers. Regular interdisciplinary meetings are held to ensure all programs can respond immediately to the shifting needs of our clients.


At the Sanctuary Byron Bay, we are flexible in our approach. We understand and accommodate family and work commitments, time restraints and requirements of professionals. We structure a program that is suited to the needs of each individual client, whether young or old.


Our clients not only leave our program knowing what they have to do to maintain any improvements in their physical and mental wellbeing, they are also taught skills to better manage their lives. They are introduced to a range of therapies so they can determine what works for them, and they are connected to practitioners in their place of origin so that they can continue a healthy and positive lifestyle. Due to the individual nature of our therapeutic methods, there is only one person per program.


Our program are usually structured at three levels of intensity:

Testimonials

“….I had suffered from an eating disorder and depression for over 10 years and prior to the Sanctuary I had been to 4 eating disorder programs with short successes only. I really felt I would never be able to overcome my eating disorder. I discovered the Sanctuary through a close friend and from the first phone call I knew it was the right place for me to deal with my anorexia and bulimia issues. I felt so nurtured and cared for by the Sanctuary team. The daily psychotherapy and wonderful eastern therapies was my favourite part of my eating disorder program……” TK 26 years old
