We understand the need for an individually tailored program which will assist people who are committed to overcoming mental health conditions such as stress, anxiety, depression, dependencies and trauma. Our results are achieved by using a range of evidence-based therapies and treatments selected to target a particular mental health condition. Our residential retreat program combines psychological, physical, educational and social strategies along with a focus on nutritional elements to help you combat and eradicate the root cause of your condition. Palladium Private conforms to the ISO standards and certification.
The duration of our programs varies between one week to several months and are specifically designed to deliver outcomes for a range of mental health conditions. For example, if you have chronic depression, long-term anxiety or dependency issues, you will require a longer period than 7 days as you will need more time to eradicate old habits and replace them with new, more positive, sustainable ones. All talk therapy is delivered on a one-on-one basis with group activities essential for social integration as you transition for going home.
