Before going to Byron Private I had hit rock bottom and wanted to end it all. I had suffered from depression and anxiety for nearly 20 years (no substance abuse).I had been to various self esteem courses, seen counseling services read books etc. My son found Byron Private and encouraged me to look on the website. My family did not want to lose me. I felt that this was my last chance. I arrived at Byron at the end of May and stayed for the 4 weeks that was recommended by the staff after doing a phone interview. This has turned out to be the best choice I have ever made. The buildings, grounds and amenities are peaceful, well kept and provide a safe, calming and conducive atmosphere for rest and recovery. The program is evolved around nurturing the whole person including wholesome nutrition, skills to aid recovery and how to take these skills back into life after Byron. I personally found that being in a place that was set up so I could focus on my recovery and the daily reinforcement of what I had learnt each day helped immensely towards my positive outcome. If you are serious about improving your life physically and emotionally, I highly recommend the staff, the education and the safe environment provided at Byron Private to achieve your goals. I will be forever grateful to the people who assisted me to find the Jenny I use to be. Thank you all so much.

My experience at Byron Private TC was life changing! I will be forever thankful to the staff and residents for the amazing support that I received whilst in their care, and also post care follow ups. If you are looking for reprieve from your current situation and surroundings, and are ready to open up to the idea of repair and a new way of taking care of yourself, this is your place. The gratitude doesn't just come from me, it comes from my family and everyone else who matters in my life. Thank you!!

Before coming to Byron Private, I was unhappy and i didn't know how to enjoy day to day life without drugs and alcohol. When i first arrived, i felt uncomfortable and didn't know if rehabilitation was the right place for me, but was quickly reassured and given lots of support. About 1 week into my stay, it felt like home. Looking at other centres, i believe Byron Private was the best one on offer for me, being such a supportive and homely environment. I have built a great relationship with the staff members who are very supportive and caring. I quickly learnt that the main focus needed to be on my recovery. Byron Private as a whole has given me an opportunity to see how much i can enjoy life without drugs and alcohol and i feel committed to my new life in recovery.

I couldn’t be happier with Byron Private I went in a mess & came out feeling like a new man, by day 3 I noticed my anxiety was gone & it only got better from there. The food was fantastic & staff & residents were so friendly & supportive, it’s the perfect place to heal & get your life back on track but just like other treatment centres you do have to put in the hard work, there’s no miracle cure. Thanks again Byron Private

To begin with my Life was heading towards 2 Options Incarceration or Suicide. My anger was at a Critical Point that I was a Ticking Time Bomb. The Police were Involved and I was very Lucky to Avoid Goal. I called my Psychiatrist and he Referred Myself to BP. The 6 Weeks I was there were the Most Profound Experience of My life. From what I have Learnt I have turned My Life completely around. I am Still Drug and Alcohol Free. This is all from the Program of BP. The Staff at BP are Superb in what they do. They are the subject Matter Experts in Physical and Mental Support. From Myself and My Family I Thank You for a Second Chance at Life.

When I first started at the BP, I was very sceptical about the whole concept around the community therapy but by the 2nd week I revealed a childhood trauma that I hadn't revealed to anyone including my family. This is when my scepticism left and I fully participated in all activities. I can honestly say that my experience at the BP was attitude changing. My family cannot get over the change in my attitude and behaviours. Thanks to Kylie and her professional team including medical, carers, chefs and all other specialists. I have continued to stay in contact with my fellow colleagues/community members. A great experience. Cheers Neil.

Byron Private saved me, saved me from losing my family and myself. From the moment I reached out to the team I felt and not nothing but care and compassion. Everyone from Kylie the managing director to the cleaners were fantastic. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you all so very much.

I can’t rate Byron Private highly enough. After 3 1/2 years of suffering with Post Concussion Symptoms I ended up at BP in a hopeless and desperately low On arrival I immediately felt that I was in the right place. It was professional, organised and the staff made me feel safe. The staff were genuine, patient, professional and totally dedicated to my care. (If I saw or heard one thing that made me doubt or mistrust them there was no way I would’ve opened up like I did). They remained consistent, and I grew to trust them. The most important thing to me was that I felt heard and genuinely listened to. To have such skilled, highly trained medical, allied health and care professionals working in one place is so valuable and incredible. My treatment program was so effective. My health (mental/physical/emotional) has improved dramatically.

Byron Private was a wonderful experience for me. I got a lot out of my stay here. The program is intense but very helpful. The staff are incredibly good at what they do and really give their time and show alot of care. The environment is beautiful and safe and the food is amazing. Highly recommend to anyone seeking help with addiction and mental health.

Truly an environment of healing and learning that has changed my life for the better in so many ways. I definitely recommend it for Veterans or anyone struggling with PTSD or a history of trauma and associated alcohol or substance abuse issues.

Thank you to all of the team at Byron Private. Having been around abit in regards to mental health treatment world, I could not suggest or recommend this treatment facility more if I try. I spent 6 weeks weeks in treatment for a combination of agenda's leading to my inpatient stay. Being some what sceptical as past experiences have not been the right fit, it was very early on that found that Byron private staff are very well prepared for complex patients, this was shown to me within the first couple of days with all of the staff been very approachable no matter on the size and magnitude of the issue or situation. During treatment all your needs are met and you have a strong voice in the direction of your treatment plan which is very reassuring as the one size fits all approach is left at the door. Living in a therapeutic community and environment has so many positives something I was a little bit sceptical about, but once settled in it becomes a very important part of you experiences, journey and recovery. I would highly recommend the Byron Private facility to anyone looking to do the work to heal and work on themselves. Being a veteran I highly recommend as they really treat you as an individual and not just a number as us Ex Defence force member are accustomed too. Thank you to every single one of the staff for all of your help, support, guidance and compassion during my stay, The staff are who create the safe trusting environment to be able to be in a position to open up and get to work. This place is remarkable and has really done so much good to not only help me in my time of need but also help and create a path moving forward with confidence and tools to take on life's challenges. Thanks Team.

BP is a haven for healing, rest and to find a way back to your authentic self. The program will go where you need it to, and it’s truly remarkable how the staff and carers will be with you each step you take. Take heart and this is truly the place to find yourself and begin the journey back to the person you feel you can be. Namaste .
