Our staff
We understand you
Many of our staff have supported loved ones through addiction. We understand first hand the process and the dedication it requires.
Our dedicated team comprises specialised Alcohol and Drug (AOD) professionals, counsellors, and therapists, offering guidance and support.

With a small maximum client capacity of 5, we provide supervised care, daily one-on-one counselling, and personalised support.
Our experienced staff aims for a smooth detox and rehab journey, addressing the root causes of addiction. Nutritious, delicious food is prepared for your well-being. Beyond our core team, diverse visiting practitioners such as personal trainers, yoga teachers, musicians, Chinese medicine practitioners, and massage therapists contribute to your holistic recovery.

What to expect
24/7 Support
Our experienced team is available around the clock to offer you the care and assistance you need.
Whether you require someone to talk to, help with managing medications, or support in any aspect of your recovery journey, we’re here for you. We believe that continuous 24/7 support is pivotal in your path to conquering addiction.
Private Rooms
We prioritise your privacy and comfort during your time with us.
That’s why we offer exclusive private rooms. These spaces grant you the solitude you need to rest and recharge, particularly during stressful periods.
Access to Communication Tools
Unlike typical public services, we understand the significance of staying connected to your loved ones and responsibilities.
You can bring your phone and laptop, maintaining these vital relationships while focusing on your recovery. Whether it’s checking emails, browsing the web, or engaging with friends and family on social media, our high-speed internet access is available 24/7.
Personal Workspaces
We acknowledge that work and business commitments might persist during your treatment journey.
For this reason, we provide a private office-like workspace, ensuring access to essential amenities like printers and scanners throughout your stay.
Designated Smoking Areas
We respect that quitting smoking is a challenging endeavour, particularly during moments of stress.
While we wholeheartedly support your decision to quit, we understand it might not align with your immediate priorities. Unlike public settings, we offer designated smoking areas on our premises for clients who smoke.
Airport Services
We comprehend the logistical difficulties of reaching our facility, especially for out-of-town clients.
To streamline the process, we offer airport pickup and transfer services, ensuring a smooth and stress-free transition.
Support for Your Loved Ones
Incorporating your family or close friends can be valuable during the recovery process.
As addiction recovery can be a challenging phase, additional resources and counselling may be extended to your loved ones, allowing them to play a pivotal role in your journey back home. In collaboration with our addiction specialists, these resources provide essential support for a successful recovery.
