Palladium Private

Palladium Private Palladium Private is a holistic mental health retreat in the hinterlands of the Sunshine Coast. Our Change can only happen when you are ready.

Are you or a loved one:
• Self-medicating to make life tolerable?
• Is the addictive behavior controlling your life or damaging your relationships?
• Is there a traumatic experience at the root of your suffering?
• Feeling overwhelmed, frustrated and sick of this life?
• Finally, are you ready to make a commitment to change? It may be difficult to see right now, but long term change for good is po

ssible with the right program and commitment. After 15 years of work and over 5,000 clients who have undertaken a program with us, we have seen the patterns of behavior, the similarities in symptoms and what it takes to change the mental condition. At Palladium Private we have developed a program that seeks to identify the underlying root cause of a condition. Guests who attend the Palladium Private program do so to address long term or severe stress related mental, emotional and physical concerns such as depression, anxiety, alcohol and drug dependency, PTSD and eating issues. Our guests come to make permanent lifestyle changes, not only for their benefit but also for the benefit of effected family and loved ones. To get long lasting change, our program commences with a full immersion residential stay at our private retreat. The program consists of anywhere between two to five weeks of private one on one therapies tailored to meet your particular needs, as well as some group work when you are ready to allow for social integration in preparation for returning home. Our qualified therapists will educate you on the root cause of all stress and teach you practical real life solutions on how to deal with daily challenges and triggers. Our dedicated retreat staff, psychologists, personal trainers and massage therapists will nurture and support you throughout your recovery. During your stay you will learn about the significance of the mind-body connection and how nutrition and physical activity plays a part towards your recovery and in your new life. By using a comprehensive range of evidence based therapies selected to target your particular condition, the Palladium Private program combines psychological, physical and educational strategies along with a focus on nutritional elements to help you combat the negative mindset you have conditioned yourself with. Our Retreat was established in 2002 and is located right next to the glorious Glasshouse Mountains, on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. We remove the pressures of life, allowing you to relax, detox and unravel in our tranquil surroundings. These programs have been developed for people who need privacy, discretion and confidentiality without judgement as well as real and lasting change. To give you every chance of success, we will continue to work with you after you have left the retreat as you start your new life. Our consultants are waiting to help you find these solutions and long term help for your condition. Your call is completely confidential and obligation-free. Making the first step can be difficult, but the payoff is powerful. Please call a member of the Palladium Program now, or alternatively, complete a web form and we will contact you.

Mental health and addiction are often deeply intertwined, with one condition frequently exacerbating the other. When someone is struggling with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, or trauma, substances may seem like a way to cope—but over time, this can lead to addiction, making it even harder to heal.

According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW), “mental illness and substance use are closely related, with one condition often increasing the risk of the other.”

It’s important to seek help early—addiction doesn’t have to be a life sentence. There are compassionate, professional services available to guide you through recovery, addressing both mental health and addiction in a holistic way. Whether for yourself or someone you care about, taking the first step toward recovery can save lives.

World Health Day is a powerful reminder that health is the foundation of a hopeful future—for individuals, families, and communities.

This year’s theme, “Healthy beginnings, hopeful futures”, speaks to the heart of recovery. Early, compassionate, and integrated care can change the course of a life—restoring dignity, building resilience, and creating space for long-term wellbeing.

Each day, we work alongside dedicated health professionals, clinicians, and support teams who help make these new beginnings possible. Their work is not only transformational for individuals—it strengthens the communities we all share.

Today, we say thank you to those guiding the journey toward health and hope.

Mental health is not a destination—it’s a journey. Just like driving, it’s not about the final destination, but how you navigate the road along the way. It’s about the choices you make, the support you seek, and the resilience you build.

Recovery can be challenging, but every step forward is part of your process. If you or someone you care about is struggling, know that help is available. With the right guidance and support, healing is possible.

Australia is facing a devastating trend: overdose deaths have nearly doubled the rate of road traffic fatalities, with opioids responsible for over 60% of these tragedies.

Synthetic opioids like nitazene—far more potent than fentanyl—are increasingly being detected in party drugs and other substances, leading to a spike in hospitalisations and fatalities. These dangerous contaminants can be impossible to identify, placing both recreational users and those struggling with dependency at significant risk.

Across the industry, there has been a sharp increase in opioid-related cases, highlighting the urgent need for education and early intervention. Dependency often develops alongside other challenges, such as mental health conditions, making comprehensive, personalised care critical for recovery.

Recovery is possible, and you don’t have to face it alone. If someone you care about is battling substance use or dependency, call us for a confidential conversation. Our compassionate team is here to help.

Cravings are a natural part of recovery.

Cravings can feel intense, but they’re a natural part of the healing process. When you cut down or stop using substances, your body and mind may react with strong urges. These cravings can show up as physical sensations like tension in your stomach or as emotional triggers.

The good news? Cravings are temporary and will pass in time. With practice, you can manage them more effectively. Techniques like mindfulness, deep breathing, and urge surfing can help you ride out those moments of discomfort and stay on track.

If you’re struggling with cravings, it’s essential to find strategies that work for you. Ask yourself: Are you hungry, angry, lonely, or tired? This simple question can help you identify your triggers and take action to support your recovery.

Remember, cravings are part of the process—but they don’t define your journey. You have the power to manage them and keep moving forward.

Parties and barbecues are great for connecting with friends, but they can also come with pressure to fit in and consume alcohol or other substances. If you're feeling this pressure, remember you're not alone.

Whether it’s a cold drink in your hand or the “just one more” temptation, it’s easy to feel like you have to follow the crowd—but you don’t.

Take control of your choices:

✔️ Say no without guilt.
✔️ Opt for non-alcoholic beverages or a refreshing mocktail.
✔️ Set boundaries with friends and communicate how you want to enjoy the celebration.

If you're struggling with pressure or battling addiction, remember that it's okay to seek support. It's never too late to reach out.

Let's make every gathering about being authentic, celebrating responsibly, and supporting each other.

In the recovery journey, a "slip" can sometimes be mistaken for a full relapse, but they’re not the same thing. A slip is a brief moment of losing control, whereas a relapse is a more prolonged return to old habits.

A slip doesn’t mean you've failed—it’s an opportunity to reassess and get back on track. It’s a reminder to be mindful of your triggers and to lean on your support system.

Remember, it’s about progress, not perfection. Every step forward, no matter how small, is a step towards lasting recovery. Keep moving forward with strength and compassion for yourself.

Here's to a year of strength, resilience, and hope. Wishing you all a peaceful, fulfilling year ahead.
