About The Sapphire Sri Lanka
Located one hour from Colombo airport, The Sapphire is a specialized clinical facility committed to delivering exceptional care. This 1930s Colonial estate has been reimagined as a "Lifestyle Reset" centre, where highly experienced clinicians craft treatment plans to address each guest's unique needs. The focus is on addressing mental health challenges across anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma and ADHD along with treating behavioural addictions and substance use disorders. Limiting the number of guests to 8 people allows The Sapphire's dedicated team of professionals to provide evidence-based care of the highest standard, helping individuals build resilience for long-term recovery.
Treatment Options
At The Sapphire Sri Lanka, treatment is delivered by a skilled care team using a range of therapies. The Sapphire’s primary focus is not a 12-Step approach, but if clients want to incorporate this into their programme, it can be provided upon request. They treat substance use and behavioural addictions by trying to get to the core of the client’s issue for using which is usually caused by trauma. Mental health conditions like burnout, trauma, depression, anxiety, and ADHD are treated with therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), eye movement therapy (EMDR), dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT), internal family systems therapy (IFS), gentle exposure therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques.
Medical Detox
The Sapphire provides medical detox services to clients who need it, ensuring continuous supervision with an on-site doctor and round-the-clock nursing care. In partnership with Durdans Hospital, they offer access to higher levels of medical care when more intensive detox is required, ensuring clients receive the appropriate treatment in the most suitable setting. This partnership also ensures swift treatment for clients, in the unlikely event that an incident occurs on site. The Sapphire also provides medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as needed for withdrawal symptoms and mental health conditions.
Aftercare
At The Sapphire Sri Lanka, they recognise the importance of aftercare in ensuring lasting recovery as clients return to environments that may trigger relapse. To support continued progress, they offer a weekly group therapy session and provide the option for ongoing 1-on-1 sessions online. Additionally, they connect clients with one of their trusted aftercare providers, offering continued guidance and support beyond their stay.
