Fixed price. No hidden costs. No surprises.
💬 WhatsApp directlyDesigned specifically for CEOs, senior executives, detectives, police, military, lawyers, surgeons, and other high-functioning professionals who cannot — or will not — disappear for 30 days.
Not every client requires a month in a facility to begin addressing physical dependency. You need a safe, medically supervised environment, the right clinical support, and enough time for your body to stabilise. Duration is determined by your substance, your history, and your clinical assessment — and it starts at seven days. We handle everything else.
After you leave Bali, two months of personalised professional aftercare support your transition into home, work and continuing treatment. You get stable. You go back. You keep going.
What is included
The CEO & senior executive
Cannot be seen entering a facility. Cannot be away for a month. Has a board meeting in two weeks. Needs this handled quietly, completely, and fast.
The detective & police officer
Career consequences are real. Discretion is non-negotiable. Physical dependency is interfering with performance and they know it. Ready to deal with it — privately.
The military & defence professional
Has self-managed for years. Knows the system cannot know. Needs clinically sound withdrawal management without it touching their record, their clearance, or their unit.
The surgeon, lawyer & specialist
Functional. High-performing. The dependency is the only thing they cannot manage alone. They will not take a month. Seven days — clinically supervised, precisely managed — is where it starts.
The FIFO & mining worker
Between rotations. Has a narrow window. Needs to be functional before the next swing. Clean, clinical, fast — and back on site without anyone knowing.
Many clients who arrive for withdrawal management choose to extend into a deeper recovery programme once they experience the environment and the clarity that stabilisation brings. There is no obligation to commit to more — but the option is always there.
Why we publish our price
We list our pricing openly because we believe the people we serve deserve clarity — not a phone call designed to qualify their budget. If our fee is beyond your reach right now, we would rather you know immediately so you can explore alternatives. If it is within reach, we would rather get straight to the conversation that matters.
Why Sabalical
Three things that make
everything different
01
Rapid access — no waitlists
Clinical assessment and withdrawal management confirmed within 24–72 hours of first contact. While Australia's public system measures wait times in weeks and months, we measure ours in hours. When crisis arrives, speed is clinical necessity — not a private feature.
02
Your environment, chosen for you
No institutional rooms. Your private villa in Canggu is selected to support your preferences and clinical needs before you arrive, with convenient access to Bali's beaches and natural landscapes. Recovery heals faster when the environment feels like it was made for you.
03
Integrated recovery
Trauma-informed therapy, nervous system regulation, medically supervised withdrawal management, structured nutrition, fitness, and two months of personalised professional aftercare. Not a checklist — a continuum.
Your environment
No institutional setting.
Your villa. Canggu, Bali.
Most rehabs assign you a room in a building built for dozens of strangers. We do something different — and we believe it is one of the most important things we do. Your private villa in Canggu is selected before you arrive, chosen specifically for you, your personality, your clinical needs, and what will make you feel most at ease.
Bali's coastline
For those who find calm in open water, salt air, and the sound of waves. The private villa setting in Canggu provides convenient access to Bali's beaches, with coastal activities incorporated where appropriate.
Rice fields & natural landscapes
For those who need distance from the pace and demands of everyday life. Canggu provides access to Bali's rice fields and surrounding natural landscapes while the private villa offers a peaceful, contained environment.
Private villa — Canggu
For those who value privacy alongside convenient access to Canggu's established services and Bali's coastline. Structured freedom within a clinically managed environment.
Scaled to your group
One client or four —
the entire property is yours
Whether you are a solo admission or arriving as part of a small group, your accommodation is sized to your number. A single client might have a two-bedroom private villa entirely to themselves. A group of four would have a five-bedroom private residence — no shared spaces with strangers, no institutional dining rooms, no corridors of doors. Just a home, chosen for you, for the duration of your stay.
This is not a limitation of our model. It is the whole point. Fixed facilities are built for volume. We are built for you.
All properties are exclusively booked for Sabalical clients. No other guests. No shared reception. No public areas.
Why exceptional people choose Sabalical
You don't do ordinary.
Neither do we.
Many people assume that more time in recovery equals better results. The evidence is far more nuanced. Sabalical exists for the rare person who applies the same rigour to their recovery that they apply to every other decision: selecting the best available option, not the most conventional one. Clinically calibrated to your substance and physiology. Private. Expert. Back in your life before anyone needs to wonder where you went.
🔒
Privacy that a month cannot offer
A week away is explainable. A month away is not — particularly for executives, professionals and public figures who cannot disappear from their lives without consequences. Confidentiality is not just a feature of our programme. For many of our clients, it is the prerequisite that makes treatment possible at all. Seven days can be managed. Thirty days often cannot — and so it never happens.
🧠
Motivation is highest at the point of crisis
The moment someone decides they are ready matters. That window can be brief. When someone is ready to seek help, timely access can make an important difference. A programme that can mobilise within 24–72 hours helps clients act while they are ready to engage. We move with purpose when the time is right.
📱
The real work happens after you leave
Care continues after discharge. Every programme includes two months of personalised professional aftercare, supporting the transition into home, work and continuing treatment.
🌿
Environment as medicine
Bali's climate, culture and natural environment are not incidental to recovery — they create a distinctive setting for it. A change of scene, distance from familiar triggers, physical beauty and traditional Balinese healing practices can support rest, reflection and nervous system regulation. For carefully selected clients, an intensive seven-day programme can provide significant stabilisation and establish the foundations for ongoing recovery.
👁
Maximum of four clients at any time
Sabalical accepts a maximum of four clients at any one time. Your clinical team has one focus during your stay. The villa is yours. The chef is yours. The programme is built around you specifically. Our intentionally small programme allows a level of individual attention that is difficult to achieve in larger residential settings.
What the evidence says
Sabalical combines clinically assessed programme pathways with continuity after Bali. Two months of personalised professional aftercare are included with every programme to support the transition into home, work and continuing treatment.
Is Sabalical right for you?
Well suited for
✓ High-functioning individuals who cannot take extended leave
✓ People requiring maximum privacy and confidentiality
✓ Clients who have relapsed after longer residential stays
✓ Burnout and nervous system exhaustion
✓ Those who are highly motivated and ready to engage with aftercare
We will tell you honestly if longer care is needed
For presentations involving severe polysubstance dependency, complex psychiatric co-occurring conditions, or previous failed short-stay attempts, a longer residential programme may produce better outcomes. We will tell you this during your clinical assessment — and if that is the case, Sabalical Concierge™ will personally coordinate your placement with a trusted partner programme.
Our goal is your recovery. Not filling a bed.
Bali, Indonesia · the landscape of recovery
Co-occurring conditions & co-occurring conditions
Most people arrive with more
than one thing happening — simultaneously
The majority of our clients do not present with a single, clean diagnosis. They arrive with addiction layered over trauma, burnout compounded by untreated ADHD, depression sitting beneath Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), or anxiety driving prescription misuse. This is not unusual — it is the norm. It is called co-occurring conditions, and it is our primary area of expertise.
Most common pairing
Addiction + Trauma
Substance use is frequently a nervous system's attempt to self-regulate after traumatic experience. Treating the addiction without addressing the underlying trauma is why most people relapse. We treat both simultaneously.
Highly prevalent
ADHD & Substance Use Disorder (SUD)
ADHD frequently co-occurs with Substance Use Disorder (SUD), as individuals often use alcohol or drugs to temporarily regulate symptoms such as impulsivity, emotional overwhelm, or chronic under-stimulation. Undiagnosed or undertreated ADHD is one of the most overlooked drivers of addiction in high-achieving individuals. We screen every client for neurodevelopmental conditions as standard.
Executive profile
Burnout, Depression & Alcohol Use Disorder
Sustained high performance creates a physiological debt. When the body calls it in, depression and Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) often arrive together. Neither responds well to recovery care in isolation — they share a common nervous system root of dysregulation that must be addressed directly through integrated, trauma-informed care.
Service community
PTSD, Complex Trauma & Substance Use Disorder
Veterans, defence, and security professionals frequently present with PTSD, complex trauma, Substance Use Disorder and moral injury as interlocked conditions. These presentations require trauma-informed care from clinicians who understand this world — not generic recovery programmes built for corporate burnout. Ours was designed specifically for this profile.
Co-occurring conditions
Anxiety & Prescription Medication Dependence
Benzodiazepine and prescription opioid dependence frequently develops in the context of treated or untreated anxiety disorders and chronic pain. An integrated approach offers the best opportunity to address both substance use and the underlying factors contributing to it.
Complex presentation
Attachment Trauma & Relationship Difficulties
Attachment trauma and relationship difficulties can contribute to relapse patterns — they are not a failure of willpower. Attachment-informed care supports relational safety and is incorporated according to each client's clinical presentation.
Many of these presentations share an underlying pattern of nervous system dysregulation — where chronic stress, trauma, or prolonged substance use affects the body's capacity to regulate emotion, behaviour, sleep, relationships and decision-making. This is central to The Sabalical Method: before lasting recovery is possible, the nervous system must first feel safe. Also known as dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders, these presentations require integrated, trauma-informed care that addresses every layer simultaneously.
Our approach to co-occurring conditions
We don't treat diagnoses in isolation.
We treat the whole person.
At Sabalical, recovery begins by understanding how trauma, nervous system dysregulation, mental health challenges and substance use interact. Co-occurring conditions — the simultaneous presence of two or more mental health or substance use presentations — are the standard clinical reality, not the exception. Every admission includes a comprehensive co-occurring conditions screen covering mood disorders, anxiety disorders, neurodevelopmental conditions, attachment history, trauma exposure and physical health. Your recovery care plan addresses every layer.
Our integrated, trauma-informed approach addresses the underlying drivers of addiction while supporting lasting emotional, psychological, physiological and spiritual recovery. Because recovery that does not account for what was driving the use in the first place is not recovery. It is postponement.
We work with — but are not limited to
Balinese healing · part of the Sabalical Method™
The Sabalical Method™
A structured, evidence-informed
framework for lasting stabilisation
Our proprietary recovery framework integrates contemporary trauma research, somatic science, and clinical medicine into a single, cohesive programme — designed from the ground up to treat co-occurring conditions and co-occurring presentations, not just the primary diagnosis. Built on science. Delivered in Canggu, Bali.
Recovery Begins When the Nervous System
No Longer Believes It Is in Danger.
At Sabalical, we believe addiction, burnout, trauma and chronic stress are not simply problems of behaviour — they are expressions of a nervous system that has adapted to survive.
Long before someone reaches for alcohol, drugs, compulsive behaviours or emotional withdrawal, the nervous system has often learned that the world is unsafe.
Healing begins when that message changes.
Our philosophy is simple:
Recovery begins when the nervous system no longer believes it is in danger.
Everything we do is intentionally designed to help the body rediscover safety, regulation, connection and resilience.
Rather than asking, "What's wrong with you?"
We ask,
"What has your nervous system experienced, and what does it need to feel safe enough to heal?"
This philosophy underpins every interaction, every environment, every therapeutic intervention and every day of the Sabalical experience.
Spiritual Care & Purpose
Recovery is deeply personal, and for many people, meaning, purpose and spirituality form an important part of that journey.
For clients with established religious or spiritual beliefs, we support those practices as part of their individual recovery plan, recognising that faith, prayer and connection to community can provide important sources of strength and stability.
For clients who do not identify with a religious tradition, we support the exploration of personal values, purpose and meaning through a secular and evidence-informed approach.
We honour each person's beliefs, values and sources of meaning. We do not prescribe beliefs or philosophies; we support each person in drawing upon the sources of meaning that are authentic to them.
Medical withdrawal management & stabilisation
Evidence-based withdrawal management coordinated with Bali's leading medical network. Safe, structured, and privately managed from day one — with established referral pathways to hospital services when higher levels of care are required.
Nervous system restoration
Built on Polyvagal Theory and contemporary somatic trauma research. Regulating the autonomic nervous system is the foundation of recovery that lasts.
Trauma-informed therapy
Therapeutic approaches are selected according to each client's clinical presentation, treatment goals and treating practitioners. Where clinically appropriate, these may include CBT, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic approaches.
Physical restoration
Structured fitness, nutrition, Traditional Chinese Medicine and evidence-informed physical restoration. Intravenous hydration and supportive medical therapies may be provided where clinically indicated and prescribed by the treating medical practitioner.
Bali cultural immersion
Traditional Balinese healing, temple experiences, surf, and guided cultural engagement to build new neural pathways beyond clinical hours.
Two months of aftercare
Personalised professional aftercare supports the transition into home, work and continuing treatment.
Stillness · the beginning of recovery
Veterans & security professionals
Those who served
deserve specialist care
Veterans, defence personnel, police, and security professionals carry a specific and often invisible burden. Operational trauma, moral injury, hypervigilance, and the compounded stress of service create patterns of addiction and nervous system dysregulation that require clinicians who understand this world — not generic rehab models built for corporate burnout.
At Sabalical, we have direct experience working with service community clients and understand the particular barriers this group faces: the stigma of seeking help, the fear of career consequences, and the deep reluctance to be seen as vulnerable. Everything here is designed to address that.
"The body keeps the score. Trauma is not stored in the thinking brain — it lives in the body. Recovery means working with the body, not just the mind."
— Dr. Bessel van der Kolk · The Body Keeps the Score
Our programme is built directly on this foundation. Somatic work, nervous system regulation, and body-based trauma processing are not optional extras here — they are the core of how we work. For service community clients carrying years of physiological stress, this approach supports regulation, connection and recovery.
Bali jungle · part of your recovery journey
The Sabalical Method™ — Clinical framework
The most effective integrated
trauma stack in modern recovery
Modern trauma science has converged on a clear answer: recovery that lasts must work with the nervous system, the body, and relationships — not just cognition. Our clinical framework reflects where global trauma treatment is heading, built on the most compatible and evidence-supported combination of modalities currently available.
The integrated trauma framework
Polyvagal Theory
The neurobiological foundation of all our work. Understanding how the autonomic nervous system governs safety, threat response, and social connection — and learning to regulate it deliberately.
Somatic Experiencing
Body-based trauma processing developed by Peter Levine. Trauma is released through the body's own natural physiology, not talked out of existence.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. One of the most extensively researched trauma therapies globally. Particularly effective for PTSD, moral injury, and single-incident trauma.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
A non-pathologising model that works with the different "parts" of a person — including the protective parts that drive addictive behaviour — with curiosity rather than judgment.
Attachment theory
Understanding how early relational patterns shape adult nervous system responses — and how therapeutic relationship itself becomes a vehicle for healing.
Trauma-sensitive movement & yoga
Structured physical practice that rebuilds the body-mind connection, reduces hypervigilance, and creates a reliable sense of physical safety in the present moment.
Mindfulness & breathwork
Daily practices that train the nervous system toward regulation. Not spiritual bypass — deliberate, clinically-informed tools for rewiring stress responses.
Meaning, Purpose & Spiritual Wellbeing
A structured therapeutic process that recognises meaning and purpose as important components of long-term recovery.
For clients with established religious or spiritual beliefs, existing practices may be incorporated into their individual recovery plan where appropriate. For others, therapy may focus on clarifying personal values, rebuilding identity and developing a sustainable sense of purpose.
The objective is not to introduce a particular belief system, but to help each person establish a personally meaningful foundation that supports ongoing recovery beyond their time at Sabalical.
For addiction & burnout specifically
Polyvagal regulation
Addiction is often the nervous system's attempt to regulate itself. Address the regulation deficit and the substance often loses its grip.
Somatic processing
Body awareness and somatic processing support nervous system regulation alongside psychological and medical care.
Attachment repair
Most people experiencing person experiencing high-functioning addictionion and executives in burnout share a common thread: relational disconnection. Healing attachment patterns is central to sustained recovery.
EMDR for underlying trauma
Where clinically appropriate, EMDR may be used as part of an individual treatment plan for trauma-related presentations.
Meaning & purpose rebuilding
Recovery without a compelling reason to stay recovered rarely holds. We work with each client to reconstruct identity and direction — not just sobriety.
Physical training & regulation
Structured exercise is one of the most evidence-supported interventions for both addiction and depression. It is non-negotiable in our programme.
Environment & co-regulation
The nervous system regulates best in the presence of safe others and a safe environment. Your villa is chosen for you — not assigned. The setting itself is therapeutic architecture.
Spiritual care & meaning-making
Lasting recovery is built on a reason to stay well. We help each person reconnect with what matters most to them — purpose, values and a sense of something larger than the addiction itself.
"Being able to feel safe with other people is probably the single most important aspect of mental health."
— Dr. Bessel van der Kolk · foundational influence on the Sabalical Method™

Conditions we treat
Private withdrawal management & recovery
for every presentation
Sabalical provides confidential, medically supervised withdrawal management and recovery programmes for a wide range of conditions. Every programme is individually assessed and designed — not applied from a fixed protocol.
Substance
Alcohol Withdrawal Management
Medically supervised alcohol withdrawal management is individually planned following clinical assessment. Twenty-four-hour specialised nursing care, intravenous hydration and supportive medical therapies are available where clinically indicated. Medication is prescribed individually following medical assessment and ongoing clinical review. Acute medical withdrawal management is individually planned following comprehensive clinical assessment. The duration of care is determined by each client's clinical presentation, response to treatment and ongoing review by the treating medical team. High-risk presentations (previous seizures, delirium tremens, severe liver disease, or polysubstance dependence) are referred to hospital withdrawal management prior to or instead of Sabalical admission.
Substance
Drug Withdrawal Management & Stabilisation
Cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, prescription opioids, fentanyl, MDMA and selected GHB/GBL presentations. Withdrawal management and stabilisation are tailored to the individual's clinical presentation, substance history and response to treatment. Treatment plans are continuously reviewed and adjusted according to clinical need. All protocols are prescribed by licensed doctors and administered by registered nurses (RN). Fentanyl, GHB/GBL, and polysubstance presentations require careful pre-admission assessment and may require hospital-based withdrawal management depending on severity.
Substance
Prescription Drug Dependency
Benzodiazepines, prescription opioids, sleeping medications and stimulants. These presentations require individual medical assessment and may require a medically supervised stabilisation phase. Medication is prescribed individually following medical assessment and ongoing clinical review, with psychiatric assessment and ongoing psychiatric support available where clinically indicated.
Mental Health
Trauma-related conditions Recovery
Trauma-informed care, somatic therapy and nervous system regulation for unresolved trauma, complex PTSD and trauma-related substance use. The body holds what the mind cannot process alone.
Mental Health
Burnout & Nervous System Exhaustion
Executive burnout, chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation. A structured reset — not a holiday — for people who have run on empty for too long.
Co-Occurring
Co-occurring conditions & Co-Occurring Conditions
Addiction presenting alongside anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma or other mental health conditions. Our integrated approach treats the whole picture, not just the presenting substance.
Withdrawal management duration varies according to the substance used, duration of dependence, medical history, co-occurring mental health conditions, and individual response to treatment. Timeframes presented are typical evidence-based ranges only. All clients undergo comprehensive clinical assessment to determine the most appropriate level of care prior to admission.
Not sure whether your situation fits? Every enquiry is treated as confidential. Our admissions team will give you an honest assessment of whether Sabalical is the right fit — and if it isn't, we will point you toward something that is. There is no obligation and no pressure.

The people behind the programme
Our Team
At Sabalical, we believe that who you are supported by matters as much as what you are supported with. Every member of our team — clinical, therapeutic, medical and operational — is chosen not only for their expertise, but for their humanity.
Every member of the Sabalical team strives to create interactions characterised by calmness, compassion, consistency and respect.
Clients are not treated as problems to solve — they are people to understand.
The Sabalical Cues of Safety
Human beings heal best when their nervous system experiences consistent cues of safety.
Every aspect of Sabalical has been intentionally designed to communicate safety — not only through therapy, but through the entire environment our team creates around each person who arrives.
Cue 01
A Compassionate Admissions Experience
Recovery begins before a client arrives.
Our admissions process is confidential, welcoming, non-judgemental and clinically guided. We reduce uncertainty and help every person feel genuinely supported from their very first conversation — long before they step off a plane.
Cue 02
A Calm Therapeutic Environment
The physical environment speaks to the nervous system before a word is said.
Our residences are intentionally chosen and arranged to minimise stress while promoting rest, privacy, emotional regulation and a felt sense of safety. Beautiful spaces are not a private here — they are part of the treatment.
Cue 03
Consistent Daily Rhythms
Predictability is one of the most powerful cues of safety available to a dysregulated nervous system.
Structured days — consistent wake times, mealtimes, therapy, movement and rest — help restore biological regulation, improve sleep, stabilise mood and rebuild the capacity for trust.
Cue 04
Regulated Human Connection
Healing occurs within relationships.
Every member of the Sabalical team brings calmness, compassion, consistency and genuine respect to every interaction. Our clients are not problems to solve — they are people to understand. That distinction shapes everything about how we show up.
Cue 05
Movement as Medicine
The body holds what the mind has not yet processed.
Daily movement — functional training, yoga, gentle exercise and surf — is prescribed not simply for fitness, but as an essential component of nervous system regulation, emotional wellbeing and physical recovery. We move together, and something shifts.
Cue 06
Breathwork & Nervous System Regulation
The breath is the only autonomic function we can consciously control.
Intentional breathing practices help regulate autonomic responses, improve emotional flexibility and build lasting resilience. Clients leave with practical, proven skills they can reach for long after Bali — in the boardroom, at 2am, or anywhere in between.
Cue 07
Nutrition That Supports Recovery
Recovery requires biological healing, not just psychological work.
Whole-food nutrition, proper hydration and evidence-informed nutritional support help restore energy production, neurotransmitter function and physical wellbeing. Shared meals at consistent times also serve another purpose — they are moments of connection, belonging and quiet normalcy.
Cue 08
Predictability & Psychological Safety
Consistency builds trust. Trust enables change.
Clear expectations, structured programming and reliable routines reduce anxiety and allow the nervous system to gradually release its grip on survival responses. When people know what to expect, they can begin to relax into the process of healing.
Cue 09
Meaningful Human Connection
Isolation often maintains addiction. Connection promotes recovery.
Small group sizes, individual attention and shared therapeutic experiences foster genuine belonging, mutual accountability and real hope. We are wired for connection. At Sabalical, that wiring is part of the recovery care plan.
"Our clients are not problems to solve — they are people to understand. That distinction shapes everything about how we show up."

Common questions
Everything you want
to know before calling.
We know the questions that keep people up at night. Here are honest answers.
How long does withdrawal management take?
Withdrawal management duration is determined entirely by individual clinical assessment. There is no fixed timeframe—each programme is tailored to your specific substance use, medical history and response to treatment. Medication is prescribed individually following medical assessment and ongoing clinical review. Psychiatric assessment and ongoing psychiatric support are available where clinically indicated. Clients requiring hospital-level withdrawal management or acute medical or psychiatric care are referred to the appropriate hospital services prior to admission. Following stabilisation, clients transition into embodied recovery, trauma integration and nervous system restoration—the work that supports sustainable, long-term recovery.
Will anyone know where I am?
No. Your participation in a Sabalical programme is completely confidential. We do not share any information with employers, insurers, family members or anyone else without your explicit written consent. A week in Bali is easily explainable. Your privacy is treated with the highest level of confidentiality, subject only to applicable legal, safety and professional obligations.
How quickly can I be admitted?
Most clients are in residence within 24–72 hours of first contact. We do not operate a waitlist. Once your clinical assessment is complete and your deposit received, we move immediately on accommodation, clinical team coordination and travel arrangements.
What if I need more than 7 days?
We will tell you honestly. If your presentation requires longer residential recovery, we will personally coordinate your placement with a trusted partner programme and remain involved in your care. Where appropriate, we can also coordinate ongoing treatment with carefully selected partner programmes in Australia and internationally.
Is withdrawal management in Canggu, Bali medically safe?
For clinically appropriate presentations in Canggu, Bali — with the right clinical team and careful assessment. Every Sabalical client receives a full medical assessment on Day 1 by a licensed Indonesian doctor and licensed medical practitioner. Twenty-four-hour specialised nursing care is available where clinically indicated as part of an individual treatment plan. We have pre-arranged emergency protocols with Siloam Hospital Bali. Our clinical model is built around safety first, comfort second.
What does all-inclusive actually mean?
Everything agreed as part of your individual programme. A private villa exclusively yours for the duration. All meals prepared by a private chef. Airport transfers. Elective wellness treatments. Two months of personalised professional aftercare. Clinical care is coordinated by licensed medical and therapeutic practitioners, with twenty-four-hour specialised nursing care and psychiatric support available where clinically indicated. Intravenous hydration, supportive medical therapies and medication may be provided following medical assessment and prescription by the treating medical practitioner. The only things not included are international flights and personal expenses.
Can I withdraw from alcohol at home?
Alcohol withdrawal is one of the few substance withdrawals that can be medically life-threatening — including risk of seizure, delirium tremens and severe cardiovascular complications. Withdrawal without medical supervision is not safe for anyone with significant Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). Clients with previous seizures, previous delirium tremens, severe liver disease or significant co-occurring medical conditions are referred to hospital withdrawal management before Sabalical admission. For mild-to-moderate risk presentations, our medically supervised withdrawal management programme — overseen by a licensed doctor and licensed medical practitioner, with psychiatrist support where clinically indicated — is specifically designed to keep this safe, structured and as comfortable as possible.
Do you treat burnout without addiction?
Yes. Our nervous system restoration programme is available to clients presenting with burnout, chronic stress and executive fatigue — without a substance use component. The somatic and therapeutic approach is individually selected according to each client's clinical presentation and treatment goals. Psychiatric support and specialised nursing care are available where clinically indicated. The same standards of privacy, personal attention and professional care apply.
