Substance Use and Mental Health
Residential
Private Pay

Off the southwestern mainland of British Columbia, The Sanctuary Vancouver Island offers an individually tailored treatment experience for VIP clientele seeking exceptional privacy and care. They elevate client well-being through secure, high-quality luxury healthcare delivered by an expert medical and therapeutic team. They provide complex medical care, immersive therapeutic retreats, and rehabilitation programs addressing addictions, mental health challenges, complex medical needs, and whole-person rejuvenation.

Receive a Unique, Holistic Program

To induce deep and long-lasting healing, all elements of the client’s program are individually tailored and conducted on a one-to-one basis. Each client is assigned their own multidisciplinary team coordinated by expert clinical consultants. Combining the best of allopathic and complementary medical traditions, the team delivers a customized blend of intensive psychotherapy, bodywork, fitness, acupuncture, creative therapies, relaxation, meditation practices and nutrition to treat and heal the whole being.

Live in Extreme Comfort with Utmost Discretion

Each client is housed in their own luxury private residence. The Sanctuary has a range of properties at their disposal: comfortable waterfront, luxury modern, homestead style and everything in between. Unless the client has arranged for a family member or significant other to accompany them in their program, the residence remains entirely their own (with the company of personal support staff). Clientele can request additional security measures as required.

Return Home with a Sustainable Plan

The Sanctuary designs aftercare programs that instill the skills and confidence needed to continue advancing in recovery. Clients can choose to complete aftercare in their country/state of origin or in a supported environment on Vancouver Island. Aftercare plans often include referrals to local practitioners, regular calls with Sanctuary therapists, inspiration from recovery coaches, and arrangements for an aftercare support person to accompany the client home upon program completion.
