Welcome to Satori Recovery. We provide world-class rehabilitation and treatment to those who suffer from addiction, substance abuse and mental health conditions and help to regain their lives.
My time in Satori has gave me full confidence I can beat my addiction and has gave me so much knowledge for life meeting amazing people.
Finding Satori Recovery Centre changed my life. I walked in feeling broken and unsure if I could ever heal. The staff welcomed me with compassion, understanding, and unwavering support. Through their personalised program and constant encouragement, I found the strength to reclaim my life. I’m so grateful that, when my time at Satori ended, I left with the right tools, an intensive aftercare package, and even chose to continue working with my 1:1 therapist as I face the "real" world ahead. I am forever grateful.
When I arrived at Satori Recovery Centre, I was anxious, depressed, and drinking heavily. I did not consider myself an alcoholic, as I had always been high-functioning. But after the death of my mother, my drinking escalated, and my life fell apart. I thought Satori might give me a rest from the vicious circle I was in. Little did I know that it would offer me a whole new life. One of the counselors wrapped her arms around me and told me everything was going to be ok, and for the first time I believed it. Over the weeks I spent at Satori, I had one-to-one sessions with a therapist where I finally allowed myself to feel my grief rather than numbing and trying to escape it. The group therapy sessions were eye-opening for me, as I discovered how many others suffered like me, and how isolated I had become. Finally, I felt understood and made friends I could relate to. I began yoga and pilates classes, and with Satori´s guidance and support, I have begun working on the Twelve Steps. I know that this will be an ongoing journey, but I already feel like a new woman. I can not thank you enough for all you have done for me.
It is no exaggeration to say that having Luke as my admissions manager saved my life. From the very first point of contact, he had an intuitive understanding of where my head was at and exactly what I needed to hear to begin my journey in recovery. I did my best to talk my way out of getting the treatment that I needed, but he was always there with extraordinary patience and got me exactly where I needed to be. I look back now, with 18 months sobriety, and can see clearly just what a critical moment that was in my life. As I said, no exaggeration. Luke is doing exactly what he was put on this earth to do, and I will always be grateful to him.
I started smoking weed at 12, but by my late teens, I was using cocaine, ketamine, and MDMA, and my life was spiraling. My parents sent me to therapy and I got introduced to benzodiazepines. Since then, I´ve been addicted to anything that will get me high. At Satori I had to go through a medical detox to get clean. This was the part I was dreading the most, because I was scared of withdrawing, but Satori´s medical team listened to me, they explained everything, they were kind, and they cared. That was so important, because when I arrived, I didn’t care about myself at all. I realised I´ve been angry for most my life, and the drugs were the only thing that seemed to keep it down. The team at Satori taught me how to release it, they got me exercising and working out, and I had a care worker who encouraged me daily and motivated me. The hardest part - but also my favourite part - was having my parents in to visit for family therapy sessions. With the help of my therapist, we were able to have conversations that we´d never had before. I was able to say how I felt for the first time, and we laid out a plan of how they can help me and how we can try and communicate better. I feel like I´ve been waiting my whole life for this. I’m so grateful that Satori Recovery has made it possible.
How do I describe Luke? I don’t know if this makes sense but Luke was pretty much one of the biggest events that has ever happened to me, he saved my life! My wife had looked at rehabs everywhere when she stumbled across Solice. She chose it because I’m fussy and picky. She knew the climate would be a massive factor for me. She spoke to Luke, explained what was happening and after that he took over. He would call me constantly, I was trying to avoid going, using every reason why I couldn’t make time or something else was going on etc.
Luke would not have it. He knew from just talking to me how bad I was. He finally managed to convince me and honestly, I haven’t looked back since. He was there to meet me at the airport, he held my hand in the first few days, when I was scared or nervous, he would take the time to come back anytime and reassure me. He was always there, no matter what. He really looked after me and I owe him my life!
