We will tailor your treatment plan specifically for you. The length of our main programme is 3 days but we will design an after plan to suit you and your ongoing recovery/rehabilitation process.

Therapy is a big part of our recovery programme. Our counsellors/therapists will continually monitor your progress during these sessions. If they find that you are struggling, you’ll get additional one-on-one time to further explore your issues and needs, and strengthen your recovery.

We are sure that the ability to identify with the group and the support received from the community will greatly contribute to your recovery process.

Nutritious meals are prepared to replenish the body with much-needed nutrients and dopamine-boosting foods, often using fresh veggies and herbs grown in our garden. As proper nutrition is important for addiction recovery, at Ruby Retreat we can learn how to create nutritious food to sustain ourselves and our families into the future.

Because of the intimate nature of our treatment centre, we can accommodate special requests.

Prepare yourself for the conversation by planning what you are wanting to say. Be clear and assertive whilst remaining calm and caring. When your loved one is safely in recovery, we encourage families to participate in a family program, where they can work through the stress and pain that addiction has caused.
