Where do I begin… I can definitely start with the fact that Sapphire recovery saved my life… I was in a truly dark place before I came and was experiencing psychosis - I was disconnected from reality and was extremely paranoid and distressed. I couldn’t sleep, and nothing I did was working to bring me back down, including medication. I’d experienced this once before but this time was worse than ever, even my closest family seemed like strangers to me. So needless to say, I was in a bad state coming up to the recovery home (Dean thank you for putting up with me in the early days). I was lucky enough to arrive at Sapphire during a spa day, and after a next-level spa/sauna session, I was able to sleep properly for the first time in weeks. The schedule at Sapphire is flexible, and for the first week and a bit I was given the space to relax and acclimatise to my new surroundings as I grew more comfortable with the other guests and Sapphire staff. I believe had it not been for the kind consideration of the Sapphire staff, namely Dean and Rev, and their accommodations and flexibility around my personal situation and mental state, I wouldn’t have recovered as well as I did and for that I am eternally grateful. After I was given this time, I was introduced into recovery classes and therapy sessions, wherein I was able to be guided and learn applicable techniques, with basis in NLP, DBT and CBT to regulate my emotions and stay balanced. I felt extremely hopeful that these simple techniques were so beneficial in the short term, and excited to take these with me in everyday life. In recovery skills, I gained a deeper understanding of the nature of addiction and how to overcome and manage it to improve my life and the relationships that matter to me. Equine therapy early on in the program helped me understand myself and feel calm for the first time in a long time. They are serene and intelligent creatures and amazing for grounding yourself in the present. There’s so much more I haven’t mentioned, the private chef is top tier, all of the activity people, practitioners and therapists are lovely, the views and location is spectacular, all of this and heaps more has helped me to come back to earth, find myself and transform into a better and more equipped person than I was before. I can’t recommend Sapphire recovery enough, 5 stars. Thank you Rev for having me, and thank you Dean, you’re a gentleman and a scholar and I appreciate your support ☯️☯️☯️

Sapphire recovery has been tremendously beneficial towards my situation that I faced. I was in a very dark place, a mid-life crisis and my life was falling to pieces when I entered Sapphire. I’ve been to numerous rehabilitation facilities around Australia and found them horribly difficult places to be in as they treat you like a number. At Sapphire, the holistic care that has been provided is first class and has rejuvenated my passion for life. I’m now motivated and eager to get on with my life as Sapphire recovery has made me believe in myself again. I want to thank all the staff involved with Sapphire, they are amazing human beings who care so much about my future and have given me my mojo back! They are even organising my life post Sapphire which makes me feel loved and supported. I wholeheartedly would recommend Sapphire recovery to those with addiction issues. Rock on Sapphire!

Sapphire Recovery is the perfect place to reset and return to the core of who you really are as a person. It provides you with all the tools needed to survive in the real world, whilst also allowing you a space to unwind and feel like yourself again.

Walking into Sapphire Recovery was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done — but also the best. From the moment I arrived, I felt seen, supported, and genuinely cared for. The team didn’t just help me recover; they helped me rediscover myself. Every staff member, from the therapists to the support crew, treated me with kindness and respect. It wasn’t just about getting clean — it was about healing from the inside out. The programs were personalised, the environment felt safe, and for the first time in a long time, I felt hope. I’m beyond grateful for the love and care I received. Sapphire Recovery didn’t just change my life — they helped me take it back. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💙

Hows this...wow 😲🙏❤️💯 Waking to the gentle sounds of Tamborine Mountain, the air is crisp and clean, a world away from the city's clamor. Here at Sapphire Recovery, the luxury isn't just in the plush surroundings, but in the space it creates – space to breathe, to think, to simply 'be!' My private suite is a haven of calm, sunlight filtering through the windows, overlooking gardens designed for quiet contemplation. There's a profound sense of peace here, a feeling that healing isn't a clinical process, but a gentle unfolding. Days are structured yet flexible, a blend of insightful therapy sessions and nourishing meals enjoyed with a small, supportive group. The vast property invites mindful walks, the meditation gardens a sanctuary for inner reflection. Evenings are quiet, the starlit sky a breathtaking reminder of a world beyond my immediate concerns. Living here, even for this moment in my mind, feels like pressing pause on the chaos. It's an immersion in tranquility, a dedicated space to rediscover myself, supported by expert care and surrounded by nature's restorative beauty. The luxury is the gift of undivided attention to my well-being, a chance to rebuild in an environment that truly nurtures. Simogè
