Highlands Recovery

About Highlands Recovery

Highlands Recovery was a private luxury rehabilitation and mental health treatment centre in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, within reach of Sydney. Established in 2024, the small residential programme was designed for adults seeking discreet support for substance use, trauma, behavioural addictions and co-occurring mental health concerns. Its treatment philosophy combined personalised, evidence-based and trauma-informed care with a holistic biopsychosocial model. Individual psychotherapy, group work, family therapy and psychoeducation were complemented by approaches such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, ACT, somatic experiencing, mindfulness and relapse-prevention counselling. Programmes also incorporated nutrition, exercise, massage, yoga and equine-assisted therapy. The former residential setting offered landscaped grounds and access to nature alongside a swimming pool, sauna, gym and tennis court. Private and shared accommodation, chef-prepared meals, flexible technology policies and airport transfers supported a comfortable, confidential experience, particularly for executives and professionals requiring additional privacy. Highlands Recovery subsequently left the Southern Highlands and concluded operations. In April 2025, the organisation stated that it had stopped providing luxury trauma and rehabilitation services and had no plans at that time to continue elsewhere. This profile therefore describes its historical programme and facilities; it is not currently accepting admissions.
