About Sunshine Coast Health Centre
Sunshine Coast Health Centre is a men-only residential centre, offering meaning-based treatment for mental health issues such as anxiety, substance and alcohol use disorders, depression, personality disorders, ADHD, PTSD, and trauma. Their non-12-Step treatment philosophy empowers individuals to see themselves as the author of their own lives, with meaning-centered therapy being one way they instill this. Sunshine Coast’s therapists help clients gain an awareness of who they are, how they fit into the world, and their strengths and limitations.
A Serene, Seaside Location
Sunshine Coast is located on 9 beautiful acres with a private oceanfront on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast. They draw on the healing power of nature to contribute to clients’ recovery, understanding that privacy and immersion in nature can have powerful therapeutic properties. Their impressive range of staff includes 24/7 nurses, therapists, wellness therapists, an addictionologist, and psychiatrists with experience treating mental health and addiction. Each therapist is masters-level. Upon admission, clients receive an assessment from a doctor, who decides if clients should detox or move right into treatment. Sunshine Coast operates with compassion and respect, understanding the importance of dignity and transparency regarding success, comfort, and healing.
Addiction And Mental Health Treatment Without The 12-Steps
Non-12-Step programs make spirituality an option Sunshine Coast provides, not something they insist on. Sunshine Coast focuses on what’s behind addiction, treating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other mental health disorders. Qualified therapists provide eye movement and desensitization (EMDR) therapy and somatic experiencing. Other therapies include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). Sunshine Coast also offers hydrotherapy, art therapy, hypnotherapy, and rTMS (repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation) for depression. During treatment, clients have 10 hours a week of group therapy and meet 1:1 with their primary therapist weekly. Sunshine Coast’s program schedule allows clients to pick from adjunct therapies, including psychoeducation classes, group somatic experiencing, group hypnotherapy, and a writing workshop, among others.
Relax, Recover, And Grow
Sunshine Recovery provides clients with a wholly unique healing experience, starting from their oceanfront location. Clients can enjoy all the amenities that come with this, like swimming, fishing, and other water activities. On-site, they have a pool, a well-stocked fitness room and personal trainer, a sauna, a business center, and more. Internet access and computers keep men connected to work during their stay if need be. Aftercare and alumni services connect clients to recovery resources and a supportive recovery community long after their visit.
Sunshine Coast Health Centre accepts private insurances. They do not accept provincial or territorial insurances.
