Youth Programs
At The Sanctuary Byron Bay we meet the need for Intensive Programs specifically designed for young people who require effective and timely assistance. Specific programs for young people must take into account their individual emotional, educational and development needs, balancing the freedom they require within the boundaries needed to establish safety and routine.
More modest accommodation is available for young clients resulting in an overall reduction in the cost of their program whilst at the same time providing them with a comfortable and nurturing environment in which to recover. In addition to the features of our Intensive Programs, our Youth Programs can also include where appropriate:
- Computer/IT tutoring;
- Cooking classes;
- Art and photography classes;
- Foreign language classes;
- Educational classes addressing specific educational or development needs;
- Life coaching.
Family members of young people taking part in our program are invited to participate at the direction of the young person’s treating therapist and at the request of the young person. Family and relationship counselling sessions can also be arranged if appropriate. We also tailor Transitional Programs for young clients in need of continued assistance following an Intensive Program.
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
