Your Day in a Nutshell

8:00 am:

Take your time to wake up and choose from our delicious breakfast options to start your day off on the right foot.

9:00 am: Getting Active

Get your body moving and start reclaiming your physical strength. We have an on-site gym for weight and resistance training, a track around our boundary fence for walking or running, a swimming pool for laps or aqua aerobics, or step into our yoga studio and make use of the mats and bolsters! We have plenty of options to suit your preferences.

Our personal trainer can even help you develop a plan that supports your ongoing recovery.

At Sydney Detox and Rehab, maintaining a daily routine during detox can support physical wellbeing, structure, and progress as you progress through your recovery journey.

10:30 am: One on One counselling with our AOD counsellor

One-on-one counselling with our specialised AOD (Alcohol and Other Drugs) counsellor is not just a conversation. It is your opportunity to explore your life and experiences with a skilled and compassionate professional; to understand what has led you here and plan for the future you want to have.

Understanding what a day in rehab looks like can can ease some uncertainty and help you feel more prepared for your stay. Sydney Detox and Rehab provides structured daily support, counselling and personalised care throughout your recovery process.

12 noon: Relaxation Time

Downtime is critical during your time with us. It’s your opportunity to take what you’ve been learning with your counsellor and in our educational classes, and dig a little deeper. Explore yourself, connect with the material and learn more in your downtime to see how you can apply the teachings to yourself. It’s also your chance to decompress and process after a counselling session that goes deep.

1:00 pm:

Come to the table and enjoy a delicious, fresh meal prepared by our private chef with our team!

2:30 pm: Educational Class

We believe that the more information and tools we can provide you with, the more likely it is that your recovery will stick the way you want it to. We teach you about the psychology of addiction, how your brain and biochemistry change, and the tools, strategies, and techniques that will help you identify, manage, and reduce cravings before they become lapses.

Massage

Massage enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients throughout your body, improving circulation and reducing the muscular fatigue that sometimes comes with addiction and substance use. It’s a great tool for encouraging relaxation and relieving any tension you’re carrying.

Winding Down

6:00 pm:

Gather for dinner at the table and enjoy some conversation and banter while we all dig into the delicious meal prepared by our private chef.

Getting Ready to Rest and Reset

7 pm Wash Away the Day

Take a long, hot shower or bath to begin relaxing into the evening and get ready for a good rest.

8 pm

The evening offers a chance to unwind—do some journalling, lose yourself in a book, join in watching a movie in the lounge room, or reflect on the day’s journey. Dedicate time to yourself; this may be the perfect opportunity for some time to yourself, or to catch up with family and friends on the phone.

10:00 pm

Retire to your comfortable bed and private bedroom for a restful sleep, helping you reset for the next day.

Remember, this is an example of a day at Sydney Detox and Rehab. Just like no two days and Sydney Detox and Rehab are the same, no two clients are the same either. Your program is tailored to you and your needs.
