South Pacific Private recognises the deceptive and degenerative nature of the disease of addiction and transgenerational trauma through the cycles of relapse. We run dedicated evidence based day programs in response to this cycle of relapse, which provides clients with the tools to create a functional lifestyle when they leave inpatient treatment.  

Using the Stages of Change Model, we also acknowledge how difficult and daunting it can be for individuals to accept they have an issue and seek treatment for it. Whether that be an issue with an addictive process, trauma-related issues, emotional dysregulation, depression, anxiety or relationship difficulties, we offer outpatient programs to suit their individual needs.  

All our programs are facilitated by our team of registered therapists who have had specific training and expertise delivering our group therapy programs. Our therapists also draw on the therapeutic modalities of CBT, DBT, IPT, Gestalt, Psychodynamic, Schema, Somatic Experiencing, Sensorimotor and Transactional Analysis Psychotherapies.

Our Day Programs Include:

• Transitions (Can only be accessed once the inpatient program has been completed)
• Mastering Moods and Anxiety
• Relapse Prevention
• Resolutions – Closed Trauma Program
• Women’s Relationships in Recovery Program
• Men’s Sex Addiction and Recovery Program
• Strengths and Resilience Program 
• Life Skills Program

These programs are catered to the needs of each individual and their family members to provide them with the support and education to empower them to break free of unhealthy cycles and patterns of addiction and mental health issues.  

South Pacific Private’s day programs are designed to provide ongoing support for people in Australia and New Zealand who require clinical support in a group and individual setting which allows them the space to continue to work their recovery while in their everyday routine. They are also offered to clients who have completed both their South Pacific Private inpatient program and Transitions Day programs as part of their Continuing Care Plan.
