After Care Overview

The focus of After Care options at The Bay is to support the ongoing commitment, necessary to sustain your rejuvenation and recovery.

We understand that you will take your own time to heal. Healing often occurs in stages and we don't assume that even an intensive retreat is the complete solution. We acknowledge the long-term nature of full recovery and true rejuvenation and are committed to supporting you throughout all phases of your journey.

The sustainability of your recovery can be directly linked to the support around you throughout your integration process. Extended support, tapered as you are ready, strengthens the foundations built during your intensive retreat.

Our After Care programs emphasise the integration of new skills and healthy lifestyle initiatives. This includes relapse prevention through the cultivation of a wise, fulfilling way of life. During the course of your stay with us, we will work with you to create a realistic and manageable After Care program that will ease your transition from your intensive retreat as you re-enter your home and work life.

Major challenges during your transitional period can be around relationships with significant people in your life - children, parents, family and friends, as well as intimate sexual relationships. If you choose, the Family Support that has been initiated during your program can continue during After Care.

The Bay offers three levels of post treatment care:

• Intensive After Care
• Supported After Care
• Reconnection Retreat

Each level of care will be designed to suit your specific needs and preferences and costed accordingly.

Global Network

At The Bay we have access to a global network of highly qualified and experienced health practitioners as well as like-minded support people. In consultation with you, we can engage the most appropriate practitioners in your area, supplementing your existing support network or establishing a new one. If you choose, we can liaise with these practitioners prior to your return home so that you feel equipped for your ongoing journey.

Individual Escorted Pilgrimages

The Bay can escort you on a personal pilgrimage of your own design. This may be a walking pilgrimage to a sacred site anywhere in the world, sailing amongst whales, or visiting a remote town of personal significance...wherever your heart is called. We can journey with you on this sacred rite of passage.

At The Bay, we will work with you to ascertain the style of
After Care that will best support your healing.
