Capri Sanctuary offers private
residential treatment for individuals struggling with addiction, gambling, anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. Located just outside Auckland, New Zealand, on beautiful acres, this facility maintains a low client-to-staff ratio, treating only four guests at a time, which allows for personalized care and individual attention. Their "whole person" approach features individualized treatment plans,
holistic modalities, and evidence-based therapies including motivational interviewing (MI), dialectical behavioral therapy (
DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT),
cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT), and relapse prevention. Clients develop specific skill sets to effectively manage daily life challenges.
"A significant part of the Capri Sanctuary program involves guidance on implementing positive health behaviors that support values, well-being, and quality of life. This includes developing good practices in sleep, nutrition, self-care, and social interactions. Daily personal training sessions, massage therapy, and yoga are integral to the treatment program. Additionally, Capri Sanctuary offers an extensive aftercare program that includes coaching for as long as necessary after the residential stay."
The sanctuary is a tranquil retreat with spacious private suites where guests can enjoy stunning natural views. The serene environment is ideal for fostering long-term sobriety. Outdoor activities include swimming in the outdoor pool, relaxing in the hot tub, and practicing golf on the driving range and putting green. The abundance of wildlife, gardens, and a calming ambiance further enhance the unique experience at Capri Sanctuary.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Capri Sanctuary provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
