Getting Started
To enter the extended rehabilitation stay at The Bardo, you will have completed a detox at The Bardo, at home, or at a different facility of your choice. You must get through physical withdrawal symptoms before we can move forward with your recovery.
Detox is the first step in breaking free from substance dependence, helping your body safely adjust—often with the support of withdrawal medication to ease symptoms. From there, your rehabilitation journey will focus on emotional and psychological healing through therapy and counselling, while also strengthening your overall physical well-being.
If you haven’t completed our Detox program then you will need to undergo an initial assessment to determine if you are ready to enter into rehab or whether a detox is required.
This assessment allows us to develop a plan tailored to your individual needs.
Please review our Detox program to learn how to get started if you have not completed Detox yet.

Long-Term Success
Recovery is not just about stopping substance use—it’s about creating a new, fulfilling life. Our Brisbane rehab program goes beyond traditional treatment methods. We help rebuild confidence, strengthen relationships, and develop the resilience needed for long-term success. With professional support, connection, and self-reflection, you’ll gain the skills to navigate life without reliance on drugs or alcohol.
We know that addiction doesn’t exist in isolation. Underlying factors such as stress, trauma, mental health challenges, and life circumstances often play a role. Our team works with you to uncover these root causes and develop healthier coping mechanisms. By addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction, we empower you to break free from destructive patterns and build a more balanced future.
Your time at The Bardo isn’t just about healing—it’s about rediscovering joy and purpose. As well as therapy and counselling, we incorporate lifestyle and wellness practices that support your overall well-being. From nutritious meals and engaging activities to creative expression and mindfulness, we help you reconnect with yourself in a positive and meaningful way.

Private and Confidential
Our address is unavailable to the general public and is revealed to guests only when they’re ready to begin treatment. We will collect you from an agreed location and drive you to The Bardo.
Your stay at The Bardo is completely confidential because we understand the importance of privacy during recovery. While attitudes toward substance use are changing, we believe the early stages of healing should be a personal and protected experience.
We want you to feel safe, comfortable, and respected as you begin your journey. Our team will also help you develop strategies for navigating challenges and difficult conversations when you return to everyday life.
Records will only be shared with treating practitioners and we do not share details of your treatment with anyone unless you give us permission.
Treatment
Counselling sessions are key to our rehabilitation process. In these sessions you’ll learn more about your addiction as you work one-on-one with a member of The Bardo team.
After your stay, you’ll leave feeling rejuvenated and ready to embrace your new life. However, maintaining sobriety requires ongoing effort. It’s one thing to experience a breakthrough in the safety of rehab, but applying that change to everyday life is a whole different challenge.
You’ll leave The Bardo with a comprehensive recovery plan including six aftercare counselling sessions to help you adjust after your stay in our Brisbane rehab. Extra sessions are available at additional cost.
We also offer short term relapse prevention stays and respite care if you experience challenging times during your recovery journey.

Intake assessment
The Bardo’s trained staff will organise an intake assessment over the phone within 24 hours, and together a plan will be created for your admission. During this assessment, identification of any detox needs will be discussed.
The prescriber will organise an appointment to discuss your medication needs, prior to arrival. Your medications will be securely kept at The Bardo and provided to you during your stay according to your prescribed withdrawal regime.
A letter is required from your doctor stating that they are medically fit for detox. Guests who have already detoxed can be admitted to The Bardo for the rehab program any day of the week.
Daily Therapies and Activities
Our complementary therapists offer a range of modalities to complement your detox and rehab, including:
- Addiction and Generalised Counselling
- Diet, supplementation and nutritional advice to optimise recovery
- Massage, yoga, acupuncture
- Personal training and exercise for health and wellbeing
- Recreational pursuits
- Social and spiritual development opportunities depending on personal interests
Pharmacotherapy
During the detox phase, medication is an important strategy to help minimise side effects such as cravings, anxiety and difficulty sleeping. This is called pharmacotherapy, which is a specialised area of medicine. Before your arrival, you will see an external prescriber who will prescribe appropriate medication for your time at Bardo, while you are going through detox. Guests may also choose to have their own practitioner prescribe medications during their stay. When this occurs, Bardo staff will communicate with the practitioner to ensure clarity around the medication regime that is being prescribed. During your stay, our staff will supervise your medication administration to ensure you are safe.
Food and Nutrition
At The Bardo, we believe that good food and nutrition is central to the recovery process – after all, food is medicine. Our chef provides healthy gourmet-meals, designed in collaboration with a qualified Nutritionist. Meals are prepared with ingredients packed full of nutrients to assist with your mental and physical recovery. Great for the soul too. The Bardo ensures that local, seasonal produce is used to prepare meals. Our chef also enjoys creating freshly baked treats to satisfy those cravings in a healthy way. Fresh juices and smoothies are available throughout the day – a surefire way to pack all the goodness mother nature has to offer into a delicious treat.
The Bardo caters to all food requirements and tastes. Our chef can accommodate guests who are vegetarians, vegans, have food allergies or intolerances.
Aftercare Program
At The Bardo, we believe a strong aftercare program is integral for successful recovery. Once guests complete their residential stay, they are not alone. They are provided with a comprehensive recovery plan to assist each them as they transition back into their new life. This helps each person continue to grow the changes they have gained at The Bardo. Guests receive up to 8 follow up sessions with our counselling team with further sessions available at additional cost. Guests are also welcome to visit us by prior arrangement once they have completed their stay.
