Our program is for a minimum of 28 days (4 weeks) but we encourage you to stay for 12 weeks if you can.
Some guests stay longer. Studies have shown that 90 day is more than twice as successful in achieving long term recovery as shorter periods.
However, we also understand that it may be difficult for you to take that amount of time out of your life and so our program starts at 28 days, to balance effectiveness with what you may be able to manage.
We only want to have you as our guest once and we are serious about you getting your life back.
Yes and no. Whilst we are not a 12 step program, we recognise that the 12 steps are beneficial for many people.
And so, we provide opportunities for guests to participate in 12 step meetings.
At Southern Highlands we are constantly striving for evidence-based best practice so we try to adopt the best of all treatment philosophies including certain parts of the 12 step process.
We have a holistic approach to make you mentally and physically strong and healthy so you can overcome your challenges forever.
The healthier you are before you come to Southern Highlands, the easier your life changing journey will be.
Try to eat well, sleep well, exercise and minimise or stop any unhealthy habits as early as possible before you come to us.
Above all, please come to Southern Highlands with an open mind and a genuine desire to give 100% to your recovery.
Unfortunately, no. We already have a number of animals at Southern Highlands.
Guests may bring only one phone with them. You may keep your phone with you, however, if you wish to make the most of our program we encourage you to limit using it or to even give it to us for safe-keeping. This is because spending time on your phone can become an easy way to subconsciously avoid the important personal work involved with your recovery.
The best coverage is available with Telstra (or Telstra related providers such as Aldi Mobile and Belong) and Optus. Vodafone is either limited or does not work on our property. Other providers not listed may not have service, please be aware and prepared for potential reception problems.
We strongly encourage you not to bring a laptop or tablet unless you need it for work or study. It can easily become an unhelpful distraction from the work you really need to do.
Internet/WiFi access is provided to all guests unless the clinical staff advise otherwise. Given our location, access may suffer disruption at times.
