About The Sanctuary Vancouver Island
The Sanctuary is a luxury, private therapeutic retreat for high-profile clients. They treat addiction and mental health conditions with a holistic approach. The Sanctuary Vancouver Island delivers all treatment 1-on-1, with no group therapy or shared facilities. Clients reside in a private 5-star home with expert care staff on site. The Sanctuary’s holistic approach combines complementary therapies with traditional clinical medicine. They offer a full continuum of care with detox services, residential care, complex medical management, programs for eating disorders, and family and couples counseling.
The Sanctuary Vancouver Island offers medical care, psychotherapy, and complementary therapies like bodywork, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), brain mapping, and biofeedback therapies. Clients can also enjoy yoga and meditation, acupuncture, massage therapy, and personal fitness training. Additional modalities can be integrated into the program. These include reflexology, osteopathy, dentistry, kinesiology, and pilates. The Sanctuary Vancouver Island strives to give each client the best experience possible, customizing each step of treatment to meet their needs and preferences.
The Sanctuary treats a full spectrum of health conditions including addiction, anxiety, depression, gambling and sex addiction, crypto addiction, relationship difficulties, and gender identity struggles. Their medical care helps manage and treat heart disease, chronic pain, diabetes, weight loss, and more. Treatment is highly personalized with hand-crafted therapies and treatments tailored to the unique needs of each individual. Each client has their own personal support staff, with therapists, doctors, nurses, yoga teachers, acupuncturists, a chef, and a personal trainer to meet their needs. Aftercare efforts begin during residential treatment. The Sanctuary connects with clients’ home providers to help ensure a seamless transition out of treatment at The Sanctuary.
The Sanctuary carefully select private properties on Vancouver Island, which is just offshore British Columbia's southwest coast. Each private residence takes the client's taste into consideration. The Sanctuary offers everything from waterfront to modern to cozy homestead-style lodgings, and only personal staff members and/or family members live with clients in their own private home during treatment. The Sanctuary schedules treatment for a sense of routine, but plenty of free time and outside excursions give clients variety and adventure.

My experience really changed my life and helped me get back on the right track. I called it my Recovery, Discovery, Rebuilding, Retooling Retreat. It really covered a lot of ground in a brief period. They provide the environment and the professionals that allow you to take control and start that process for yourself. The aftercare has also been an amazing continuance. It has significantly improved my marriage and my life in general.
