A typical day at The Bay.

REGAIN CONTROL OVER YOUR LIFE

Start your healing journey

From the moment you choose The Bay, you can relax and let us manage everything for you. Our concierge can organise for a team member to come to you and travel with you during your flight if needed, and our driver will meet you on your arrival and transport you to our residence where you will be greeted by our clinical director. After light refreshments, your program will begin with an orientation of your accommodation and some initial assessments.

SUPPORTED DETOX

Comfortable, medically-supported detox

If you require detox treatment, be assured that it will be made as gentle and manageable as possible. Our nursing staff will also monitor you around the clock and our doctor will be on hand 24/7 to supervise your progress.

We don’t believe there is any benefit in suffering through extreme withdrawal symptoms so, where needed, we will offer medication during this process. Learn more about supported detox.

SETTLING IN

Settling in to The Bay

Once your detox is completed your treatment begins.

Our team is attuned to you, offering friendly, warm and professional support. They are there when you need them and also understand that there are times when you prefer to have time and space to yourself.

HOW WE DO IT

A typical day

As a guest of The Bay you can expect your days to be well-balanced with rest and therapy. In the early morning you will have the choice of being transported to one of Byron’s beautiful beaches to enjoy the sunrise, a walk, or a swim. Alternatively, you may choose a visit to a gym. At both locations our personal trainer will be available if you would like a tailored exercise session.

On your return to The Bay you will have time to enjoy an organic breakfast and prepare for the day. Depending upon your program, you will participate in a range of therapeutic activities including individual therapy, equine therapy, educational programs, yoga and meditation, art therapy, personal training and well-being activities.

A delicious, organic lunch will be prepared by our chef and you will have time to yourself after lunch before finishing the day at 4pm. The evenings are your time to watch a movie, journal, contact family and friends or attend one of our evening activities such as one of the many meditation groups held around Byron Bay.

What our guests say

I have attended other programs and felt overlooked due to the needs of the more complex clients that were in the program. At The Bay I was the focus of the team and gained a far greater understanding of my situation and was able to make the changes required to live the life I desperately wanted.

The compassion shown to me by the incredible team at the bay has taught me to set boundaries with others, allowed me to re-align my expectations of myself and others and finally live the life I have been craving for many years.”

My wife found The Bay after doing a lot of research looking at programs all over the world. Treatment centres here in the US are very different! My life has changed in so many ways and I continue to stay clean and sober, thank you for all you have done.

The team at The Bay gave me a second chance at life, I was so very sick and although I went to a number of treatment centres I couldn't find a way through, what the wonderful team at The Bay did for me is nothing short of a miracle, thank you.

Having a psychology background I was very particular about what I was looking for, I didn't want group therapy because I was at a point where I knew I needed individual therapy, for me it was a very private process, I needed somewhere that was private and peaceful, it has been five months since I left The Bay, it has changed my life.

I have been in treatment before but couldn't seem to achieve the changes I wanted. The compassion shown to me by the incredible team at The Bay has taught me to set boundaries with others, allowed me to re-align my expectations of myself and others and finally live the life I have been craving for many years.
