Whether you are looking for a drug detox, substance detox, or a comprehensive detox retreat in Australia, we offer a compassionate space to start your journey.
What is detox, and how does it work?
Detox involves safely removing harmful substances from your body while managing withdrawal symptoms under professional supervision. It addresses the physical symptoms of drug abuse while also working on emotional and mental recovery. Detox helps your nervous system reset and gives your mind space to begin healing.
At The Bardo, every drug detox plan is tailored to each individual’s needs, combining medically supervised detox with evidence-based care. This ensures safety, comfort, and overall well-being while providing everything you need for long-term recovery through a structured detox program in Australia.
Admission and beyond at The Bardo
Before your stay at The Bardo, we conduct a comprehensive detox assessment over the phone to understand your needs. Next, you’ll meet with our Nurse Practitioner for a personalised consultation, medication planning, and scheduling of admission.
From the moment you arrive at our rehab retreat, your detox admission is guided step by step, with a clear, personalised detox plan in place to ensure you feel supported, understood, and confident as your recovery begins.
What happens during detox?
Generally, a typical detox program lasts at least seven days, but the duration can vary depending on the substance the individual. Common withdrawal symptoms, such as anxiety, insomnia, and cravings, are carefully managed with medication and 24/7 support.
Each day at The Bardo includes counselling sessions and a variety of detox therapies such as yoga, massage, acupuncture, art therapy, and personal training. Additional recreational activities help you re-engage with physical movement and emotional well-being.
Nutrition, therapies and holistic support for drug abuse
We treat nutrition as medicine. Our chef prepares beautiful, healthy gourmet meals to support both mental and physical recovery. Dietary preferences, allergies, and intolerances are carefully considered to ensure meals nurture your body and aid detoxification.
You’ll also practice mindfulness, meditation, and other holistic treatments. This comprehensive approach allows us to provide an overall holistic detox experience.
Continuity of care – The Bardo
We understand that detox is only the start. The Bardo’s detox aftercare program supports your transition from residential care to everyday life. You’ll receive follow-up counselling, personalised recovery plans, and opportunities to return for ongoing support. At The Bardo, we aim to bridge the gap between detox and a full residential rehab in Australia, helping you sustain your progress and maintain a healthier, balanced life with ongoing post-detox support.
Starting your detox journey can be difficult, but you don’t have to take it on alone. At The Bardo, we have designed a safe, private space to begin your recovery. Call 0411 071 146 to start your drug detox retreat with our residential detox support.
