Six Seasons Recovery draws inspiration from the rich cultural heritage of Australia’s South West and the ancient wisdom of the Aboriginal Noongar people. Guided by a six-season calendar that has sustained the world’s oldest living culture for nearly 50,000 years, our approach to recovery aligns with the natural rhythm of life and the interconnectedness of the land.
Each season – Birak, Bunuru, Djeran, Makuru, Djilba, and Kambarang – symbolizes the cyclical changes in the environment. In much the same way, addiction and the stages of change are inherent cycles, with each phase offering opportunities for growth and renewal. The plants, animals, and weather patterns associated with each season serve as metaphors for the transformative journey towards recovery.
Welcoming visitors to our recovery community is akin to the traditional ‘Welcome to Country’ ceremony in Australia’s South West. Acknowledging the ancestral lands, connecting to the country, and paying respect to the diverse Aboriginal communities reflect our commitment to fostering a supportive and culturally sensitive environment.
As individuals navigate through the six seasons of recovery, akin to the Noongar calendar, they encounter plant indicators of change. These indicators represent moments of insight, progress, and self-discovery, guiding individuals toward healthier choices and lifestyles. We encourage everyone to embrace the wisdom of the Noongar people, respecting the culture and caring for the ‘Boodja’ country, paralleling the need for self-care and mindfulness on the journey to overcoming addiction.
Six Seasons Recovery honors the resilience of ancient cultures and intertwines this wisdom with the modern journey of addiction recovery. Through this harmonious blend, individuals can find strength, support, and inspiration to navigate their own transformative seasons toward lasting recovery.
At Six Seasons Wellness Hub, our customised mental health and addiction treatment programs are crafted to address your individual challenges, aspirations, and any concerns voiced by your support network. Our team of highly qualified addiction & mental health specialists, as well as registered medical practitioners are compassionate, understanding, and committed to guiding you toward tangible results.
Being Perth’s premier rehab, we extend support to individuals dealing with various conditions, including alcohol and substance abuse, prescription medication addiction (painkillers), and illicit drug addiction. Our specialisation extends to the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), trauma, and grief, as well as a range of mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bipolar disorder, eating disorders, and comorbid and co-occurring disorders.
Whenever feasible, our programs incorporate a preparatory component before your arrival, laying the groundwork for your recovery journey. Post your stay at Six Seasons Wellness Hub; comprehensive telehealth aftercare support is provided for 12 months, ensuring ongoing assistance once you’ve returned home.
In pursuit of your recovery objectives, all our personalised programs are exclusively administered one-on-one by our extensive, medically-informed, and integrated team, utilising advanced evidence-based practices to foster enduring well-being.
You will never be prompted to share with other guests, and participation in group activities is not expected. Throughout your stay, all therapy, nutrition, exercises, and activities will be custom-designed to align with your values, beliefs, mindset, and goals, with no information shared among a group.
Whether you’re fully immersing yourself in our splendid residential retreat and treatment areas or enjoying one-on-one beachside therapy sessions, we are committed to ensuring your stay is both comfortable and yields tangible results.
We are a warm, compassionate, and understanding team, fostering a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for our guests. Anyone aiming to enhance their mental and physical health and overall well-being is embraced at Six Seasons Wellness Hub.
Our guests often have actively sought solutions elsewhere but may have found these alternatives inadequate and ineffective in achieving long-term, sustainable results.
People from various backgrounds and cultures, both across Australia and the world, choose Six Seasons. Despite their differences, all our guests share the acknowledgment that their well-being is somehow compromised, and they are committed to investing the necessary time and energy for a successful outcome.
At Six Seasons Wellness Hub, flexibility is key. Unlike most other health retreats and rehabilitation centres, we don’t have set arrival dates or times, and we’ll never force you to comply with an intake schedule. Our programs commence from the moment you confirm your intention to work with us, and it’s our commitment to allow clients to arrive at a time that suits them.
To ensure personalised attention, we cater to a maximum of four guests at any one time. This often provides an opportunity for pre-arrival support from our dedicated team, setting you up for success in your tailored treatment program right from day one, without the constraints of strict intake dates or preset schedules.
As for program duration, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. We collaborate with you to develop a plan that aligns with your goals and schedule, ensuring you’re well-positioned to achieve tangible results through our industry-leading team.
At Six Seasons Wellness Hub, our programs are designed to be busy yet highly adaptable, evolving as you progress through treatment and your needs change. This personalised approach is unique to Six Seasons and has proven transformative for our guests.
There’s no typical day here because we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all generic approach. Instead, each session and activity is tailored to your goals.
We structure our program to mirror the working week, with Monday to Friday kept busy, Saturdays focused on activities, and Sundays dedicated to relaxation. Throughout the week, you can expect up to six sessions per day, offering extensive time for your therapeutic journey.
Detox is a highly individualised process, and we believe in tailoring our approach to address both physical and psychological aspects, enabling clients to actively engage with the treatment program. Our bio-individual approach involves personalised strategies to tackle the problem from various angles.
We support the body’s detoxification by enhancing the functions of the liver and kidneys through intravenous supplementation (IV), acupuncture, and lymphatic drainage massage. Additionally, we incorporate infrared saunas, ice baths, and provide gut-supporting nutritional advice.
Our detox protocols prioritise your safety and comfort, and when appropriate, pharmaceutical support may be utilised, closely monitored by our team of registered doctors and nurses.
Upon arrival, many clients may already be on prescribed pharmaceutical medication. We consider it unethical to alter these without consultation with the prescribing doctors. Our pre-program includes connecting with existing practitioners to ensure a truly integrated, holistic approach to recovery.
We understand that transitioning back to ‘normal life’ after your stay with us can be a significant step. It’s natural to feel apprehensive about maintaining the progress you’ve made when faced with the pressures of everyday life, family, and work.
To support your journey post-treatment, all our programs include a 12-month aftercare package. This comprehensive telehealth support is designed to be delivered remotely, providing ongoing assistance as you navigate your recovery beyond your time with us.
Recognising that every individual’s struggles and goals are unique, we are committed to offering personalised treatment programs designed by our world-class team to achieve tangible outcomes.
As the cost of our programs varies significantly based on individual needs, we encourage direct contact with our friendly team for personalised discussions. Our non-residential/outpatient programs start from approximately $11,500, with fully immersive residential options, including 12 months of post-program support, available at a greater cost.
Guests at Six Seasons have various funding options, including self-funding or utilising superannuation. Additionally, there are medical loan providers, independent of Six Seasons, that may assist in accessing the necessary treatment for achieving physical and mental health goals.
