Byron Private is a life saving facility. There was nothing in New Zealand that could offer us a therapy program for our daughter. The only option was to put her on a regime of strong drugs while we waited for another episode. There is still work to do but we now have hope of a recovery. She will return to Byron Private to do the workshops from time to time and is starting to see it as a safe place to do the hard work. Byron Private is caring and treats the person not the disease.

First up it was a big decision to check myself in. Without family and friends to help I may not have gone through with it. The first few days were tough and I hung back to get an idea of what I was in for. After that I dove in headfirst and decided I wanted to get as much as I possibly could from the program. I had spent a good few years struggling to keep up with work so I spent a lot of time alone. I'd have to say the biggest thing for me was being part of a community again. Everyone was struggling in their own way but having a supportive group of people softened it all drastically. The property is beautiful and it got me back in touch with nature. I had forgotten how it felt in only a few busy years. The staff were incredible and supportive. I'll always remember each and everyone of them.

My experience at Byron Private was excellent. I've been in many treatment services in the past but never anything like BP. Absolutely everything there was first class. From The counselling, to the holistic nature of the many different therapies on offer really helped me to stay on the recovery path. The program structure and benefits derived from it are just too many to write about briefly

Byron Private has changed my life for the better in so many ways. It is truly a place of healing, learning and growth. For decades I struggled with PTSD from my military service as well as other issues that had lead me down a road of using alcohol and substances to cope. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to deal with their issues and take their life back for the better.

Byron Private has been the stepping stone that has catapulted me into the rest of my life. I arrived in 2014 at the lowest point in my life after having done numerous rehabs for drug addiction. The food, staff, facilities, program and everything in between was nothing short of first class. Everyone made me feel welcome the moment I arrived and I truly feel like I got loved back to life. I have since had the pleasure of going back to share my story having almost 8 years clean, healthy relationships back with my family, a successful business and peace in my life. I will be forever grateful to the staff and management of Byron Private for giving me another opportunity in life and supporting me so amazingly on that journey.
