Our Team & Clinical Standards

Psychiatric leadership includes Dr Monika Joy Reverger, Specialist Psychiatrist (Sp.KJ), whose experience spans hospital and private-clinic psychiatry, multidisciplinary care and professional leadership in Bali.

Medical care is provided by appropriately registered practitioners in psychiatry and general practice. Practitioners hold the Indonesian registration and practice licences required for their respective roles.

General practitioners hold the registration and practice licences required under Indonesian health law.

Medical and psychiatric involvement is determined by clinical assessment and the needs of the individual client.

Withdrawal management is planned individually following clinical assessment.

Assessment considers the presenting concern, current substance use, previous withdrawal complications, medical and psychiatric history, current medications, polysubstance use and immediate risk.

This assessment informs programme suitability, duration and the level of medical, psychiatric and nursing involvement required.

Sabalical is a private villa-based recovery programme, not a hospital. Clients requiring hospital-level withdrawal management, acute psychiatric care or another level of treatment are referred accordingly.

The registered nursing team includes Putu Desy, whose experience spans community and private rehabilitation settings, with a particular focus on drug and alcohol addiction and withdrawal management.

Registered nursing care is provided by nurses working in trauma and addiction withdrawal management.

Members of the registered nursing team hold valid Indonesian Registration Certificates and Practice Licences as required under Indonesian health law.

The level and duration of nursing care are determined by clinical indication and form part of the client’s individual treatment plan.

Psychological and therapeutic care is selected according to the client’s clinical profile, phase of recovery, treatment goals and capacity.

Clinical psychologists and somatic practitioners work within Indonesia’s complementary health framework and maintain appropriate professional or international credentials.

The therapeutic support team includes a practitioner with a BA in Counselling, a Diploma of Social Sciences, 15 years of lived experience and 15 years of work in therapeutic-community and private rehabilitation settings. This role operates within Indonesia’s social rehabilitation framework and complements the medical and psychological components of care.

Therapeutic care is coordinated with the medical, psychiatric and nursing elements of the programme.

Sabalical approaches addiction, trauma and chronic stress as adaptations of the brain and nervous system rather than failures of character.

Trauma-informed care may incorporate polyvagal-informed practice, attachment-informed care, body awareness, breathwork, movement and felt-sense practices. Therapeutic approaches are selected and sequenced according to the client’s phase, capacity and clinical profile.

The team includes a practitioner with a BSc in Neuroscience from Aston University and certification in the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model for Trauma and Addiction through the Polyvagal Institute.

Somatic trauma-healing practitioners hold international certifications in relevant modalities and work within Indonesia’s complementary health framework.

Medical assessment, psychiatric input, registered nursing, therapeutic support, nervous-system regulation, lifestyle medicine and discharge planning are coordinated within one multidisciplinary programme.

Each discipline contributes within its professional scope.

The appropriate programme pathway—seven, fourteen or thirty days—is determined through clinical assessment, including consideration of risk, substance history, treatment goals and the depth of recovery work required.

Sabalical’s psychiatrists, general practitioners and registered nurses hold the registration and practice licences required by the relevant Indonesian authorities.

Clinical psychologists and somatic practitioners operate within Indonesia’s complementary health framework with appropriate professional or international credentials.

Therapeutic support is provided within Indonesia’s social rehabilitation framework and complements the medical and psychological components of care.

Suitability is not assumed. Immediate medical or psychiatric emergencies, acute medical instability, severe psychiatric instability and presentations requiring hospital-level care fall outside the boundaries of the villa-based programme.

Clinical safety takes precedence over admission.

A pre-arranged clinical escalation protocol is in place with the treating clinical and nursing team. Where hospital-level assessment or treatment becomes necessary, transfer to Siloam Hospitals is coordinated where clinically appropriate.
