Confidential treatment for alcohol addiction and dependence
Dependence of any kind is as much a spiritual malaise as it is physical. At Istana our approach to alcohol addiction is completely personalised.
We know that an effective and successful alcohol treatment program requires a deep understanding of the individual and their unique circumstances and issues. This is particularly true in the case of HNWIs, high profile and high performance individuals.
We are unbound by the dogma of the dated and coarse methods utilised by normal alcohol rehabs. We employ the latest and most progressive thinking from all areas of medicine, psychiatry, psychology and holistic mind/body/soul practices.

To begin
- A senior member of our team will meet you inside the airport, fast-track you through immigration/customs and take you to your villa
- Time to decompress – acclimatisation to your surroundings and introduction to the program
- Abrupt cessation from alcohol addiction can induce uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. Your doctor will be at the villa on your arrival for observations, immediate treatment, medication and ongoing medical care, including 24 hour nursing as required
- Introduction to our Director of Client Services, who will be your day-to-day point of contact and in charge of all aspects of co-ordinating your team and your program

Psychology
- Psychotherapy sessions take place in your villa and are informally set
- Clients normally have 3-4 psychology sessions per week. More if necessary.
- During these sessions you will be able to safely explore and resolve all the underlying issues behind your discontent and alcohol addiction
- You will also be able to recognise, examine and discard any other unhealthy coping mechanisms you may be using to get through the day
- Together you and your psychologist will set new life goals. To bring these goals to reality you will learn how to heal yourself by integrating healthy living and mindfulness practices into your new life
- Additionally you will become fully armed with real-life coping skills to manage triggers as they arise in your daily personal and professional life and thus prevent relapse
- Ultimately you will arrive at a place of resolution so the current state you seek reprieve from and its subsequent behaviours are no longer a part of your life.

- Days normally start and end with walks on the beach and, if you want, ocean swims, a horse ride, a surf or a game of tennis
- Your program will match your interests and will consist of a mutually agreed selection of complementary modalities. We have a huge range to select from with world class instructors of yoga, meditation, personal training, martial arts, art therapy to name just a few
- And we want to help you reignite old passions and discover new interests. You are welcome to try out any therapeutically beneficial recreational pursuits you are interested in such as music, cultural experiences, spiritual exploration, writing, photography, diving, snorkelling, surfing, jungle walks or climbing volcanos to name just a few

- Relaxation is a part of every day and naturally massages feature prominently. We also introduce you other relaxation and sleep techniques such as guided Yoga Nidra sessions.
It is our hope that you take these practices and activities and make them part of your life. Prior to your departure we will introduce you to the best and most suited practitioners in your home area.
The application of a holistic one-to-one program by a high calibre integrated multi-disciplinary team in a private alcohol rehab is without parallel in delivering a comprehensive mental, physical and emotional reset.
You will be amazed at how quickly you start to feel physically and mentally strong and look at your future with a steady gaze and inherent confidence. Contact us to change your life today.

Further Information on Alcohol Addiction and Alcohol Rehabs
A problem with alcohol can take many shapes and vary wildly in appearance and severity. However, it is generally perceived as progressive and eventual alcohol dependence is characterised by a strong need to drink despite the undeniable problems associated with continued use.
Alcohol addiction is overshadowed by drug dependence and its harmful effects are underrated. It is physically destructive and takes an enormous toll on those close to a problem drinker.
Fortunately, over the last fifteen years much research has been conducted, and alcohol and drug addiction are now seen as a condition of the mind, body and soul, often caused by complex underlying reasons. This progress means that, thankfully, new solutions for successful treatment of alcohol addiction have opened up.
The latest research shows that there is a spectrum of alcohol addiction ranging from mild dependence to binge drinking to complete chemical dependence. An effective alcohol treatment program requires a deep understanding of the individual and their unique issues for successful treatment.
Alcohol addiction is a condition involving memory, motivation and brain reward and it is “caused by a combination of behavioural, environmental, and biological factors”. Your particular alcohol addiction really is unique to you, and a truly personalised alcohol treatment program is critical for a successful and sustainable outcome.
