DVA covers most (or all) of the costs for veterans. Our team supports veterans seeking mental health rehab and addiction recovery in a structured environment.

There are several things you can do if you're unable to afford the cost.

• Participate in a non-residential recovery program in your area – such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, or Smart Recovery.

• Discuss options with your GP.

• You may be able to access funds from your superannuation (on compassionate grounds). Apply directly to the ATO for free or get ReleaseMySuper to help (for a fee).

Seek a bed at a public rehab centre. Southern Highlands operates independent of government funding, but there are a number of low-cost, government-funded drug treatment services.

Guests might be able to access some of their superannuation funds (on compassionate grounds) to pay for private rehab. You can either:

1. Complete the application form yourself. The ATO can assist with related enquiries. Or,

2. Ask a company, such as releasemysuper, to prepare the application for you for a fee.

Note: a letter from a psychiatrist is required as part of the application process for the ATO.

Due to potential conflicts of interest, the Southern Highlands Addiction Retreat cannot process superannuation requests. Southern Highlands Addiction Retreat does not promote the use of superannuation funds for treatment and does not provide any financial or legal advice.

Guests are strongly encouraged to seek independent financial and legal advice before making any decisions regarding the use of their superannuation funds.

We appreciate that discretion is important to executives or high profile individuals.

To help protect your privacy, your stay can be billed as mental health, stress or burnout.

Yes, we offer an aftercare program with ongoing group support or 1 on 1 support.

Our outpatient services are tailored to ensure long-term success beyond your stay.

Our program supports individuals struggling with a wide range of issues including alcohol addiction, drug addiction, heroin addiction, cocaine addiction, and substance abuse.

We take a holistic approach that addresses both physical and psychological recovery.

Both inpatient rehab and outpatient rehab have unique benefits. Inpatient offers a fully immersive recovery environment, while outpatient treatment allows more flexibility.

We can help determine what best suits your situation.

Unlike a standard recovery village, we offer a highly personalised and structured approach.

Southern Highlands is not affiliated with Refocus Rehab, but shares the same commitment to excellence in drug rehabilitation and addiction rehab.
