Testimonials
“I never thought that I would overcome my drug addiction especially as I refused to go to a rehabilitation centre. The last thing I wanted to do was sit around with drug addicts or alcoholics, discussing my personal drug abuse and addiction issues. The Sanctuary offered me a complete inpatient rehabilitation program, that was private and completely confidential, and in a luxury setting. I am forever grateful to the therapeutic team at The Sanctuary and for the respectful and dignified treatment that I received……” JB 43 years old
“I have such loving memories of all the beautiful souls I encountered at the Sanctuary. I have never been so nurtured in all my life. You guys enabled me to get back up and I’ll forever be grateful. Congratulations to you on your life’s work, you really do make a difference.” past client 52 year old female
“….I am thankful that the Sanctuary provides an alcohol rehab centre and rehabilitation program in such a private and luxury setting. Working in a large corporate environment with constant stress lead me to become a daily drinker but it was not until I got to the Sanctuary that I was able to admit that not only was I an alcoholic, but I was addicted to prescription medication as well. Thankfully the Sanctuary provides a rehabilitation program that treated both my addiction to prescription medication (valium) and also my alcoholism. Thank you to all at the Sanctuary……” GK 65 years old
“….I was amazed at the ease of my detox and withdrawal from alcohol at the Sanctuary. I had previously been to numerous detox centres and clinics in Australia and abroad but the Sanctuary’s holistic approach combining both Eastern and Western therapies clearly leads the field. I recommend your approach wholeheartedly as I’ve had fewer side effects and less anxiety and all the staff helped to make me feel more comfortable and positive. I’ve been given a second chance and I know now alcohol will no longer play a part in my new life..” CM 42 years old
“…. I went to the Sanctuary for my anxiety and depression and soon realised that I needed to quit drinking. What a thought! “Quit drinking?” But I’d drunk daily for over 30 years and never imagined that I had a drinking problem, or that alcohol was in any way related to my depression and anxiety. I have quit drinking now for 3 months and I’ve been practicing all that I was taught at The Sanctuary, including maintaining a regular exercise program - and I can’t believe how great I feel! Thank you.…..” MD 51 years old
“…I had been living with my husband and his drug abuse for over five years. Any mention of the topic of drugs, his drug abuse or even treatment at a drug rehab clinic or a drug detox, would spark a major argument. I thank The Sanctuary from the bottom of my heart for assisting in the intervention process and for the dignified and respectful approach evident from the start. From my first phone call, I felt supported and informed and knew there was hope from that moment on…….” Wife of client, 36 years old
“….I found it very difficult to find residential treatment for depression in a setting in which I could be comfortable and where confidentiality could be guaranteed. Top marks to the Sanctuary for providing depression treatment in a luxury setting where the needs of corporate executives can be understood and met. I was able to monitor my business even as I surrendered to the care of the program and my dignity was always respected. …..”SP 60 years old
“…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
“….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
“… My father had had an alcohol problem for many years and when he retired his alcohol problem escalated dramatically. Being in his sixties, he walked in and walked out of a private alcohol rehab stating that there was no way he was going to sit with young drug addicts and alcoholics and talk about his problems. Thank you for providing a one on one alcohol rehabilitation program, that is both highly respected, and successful. I know my father has dealt with his alcohol problem and was grateful for the privacy offered…. ” Son of 68 year old client
“ ….I have spent years trying every different type of anxiety treatment available. In the main they were mostly drug and alcohol treatment programs that also dealt with anxiety. This was not appropriate as I was neither an alcoholic nor did I use drugs. I am a mother of four grown children and my anxiety issues have stopped me from living a normal life. I recently spent four weeks at the Sanctuary where I dealt with the underlying issues behind my anxiety and had the pleasure of my family visiting me throughout the program. I feel so blessed to have found such a special place to heal…..” AP 51 years old
