Leaving rehab is a big milestone. But staying on track in the weeks and months that follow is just as important.

Here are 3 things people often overlook when it comes to preventing relapse:

💡Old environments can trigger old habits. Even if you're not using, being around the same places or people can reignite familiar patterns.

💡Too much unstructured time can be risky. Boredom and lack of routine can lead to cravings. A simple daily rhythm makes a difference.

💡Willpower isn’t enough — you need a ‘why.’ Staying connected to your personal reason for recovery gives you something to hold onto when things feel tough.

Over time, what once felt manageable can begin to take a toll on your physical health, relationships, work, and overall well being.

Addiction is rarely one-dimensional. It doesn’t follow a set pattern, and no two people experience it in the same way. For some, it’s connected to past trauma or mental health challenges. For others, it may have begun with a legitimate prescription or social use that slowly became something more difficult to control.

That’s why we approach recovery differently at Gunnebah.

We offer support for a wide range of substance and behavioural dependencies including alcohol, cannabis, prescription medication, stimulants, and more. With programs designed to treat the whole person, not just the addiction.

“It’s natural, so it must be harmless.”

That’s one of the most common assumptions people make about ma*****na especially as it becomes more widely accepted in society.

But frequent cannabis use, especially over the long term, can have a real impact. It may affect memory, concentration, mood, motivation, and sleep patterns often in subtle ways that are easy to dismiss at first but harder to ignore over time.

For some, it becomes a coping strategy for stress, anxiety, or boredom. Over time, this reliance can feel difficult to break, especially when life feels overwhelming or disconnected.

At Gunnebah, we help people explore their relationship with substances in a safe, non-judgemental space.

It’s a common and harmful misconception — that if something is prescribed by a doctor, it’s completely safe.

The truth is, prescription medications can lead to dependence, even when taken exactly as instructed. This often happens gradually and quietly, without the person realising until they try to stop.

We’ve worked with many individuals at Gunnebah who started with a valid script and followed the directions. But over time, their body adapted, their tolerance increased, and stopping became physically and emotionally difficult.

This isn’t about failure or poor judgement. It’s about the very real effects these substances can have on the brain and nervous system. And it’s more common than people realise.

If this sounds familiar whether for yourself or someone close to you, we’re here to help.

Our resort-style saltwater swimming pool is one of the most loved spaces on the property especially when paired with our nearby sauna for a refreshing contrast therapy session.

This simple hot-to-cold ritual doesn’t just feel good—it’s a natural way to support circulation, ease sore muscles, and reset both body and mind.

Whether you’re taking a quiet moment in the sauna or diving into the cool pool surrounded by lush sub-tropical gardens, it’s all part of the Gunnebah experience.

Recovery happens in moments of stillness, too.

There’s something about being surrounded by nature that changes the way recovery feels. The quiet fields, the fresh air, the sound of birds, it gives people space to slow down and actually take a breath.

A lot of guests tell us it’s these simple moments outside that make the biggest difference. Walking among the trees. Sitting in the sun. Feeling calm again after so much chaos.

It’s not just the program that helps people heal here; it’s the place itself.

Explore our holistic programs and discover why so many choose Gunnebah as the place to reset.

Good food does more than satisfy hunger; it helps rebuild strength, restores balance, and supports emotional wellbeing. 🍲

Each day, lunch and dinner are freshly prepared by experienced chefs who focus on both flavour and nutrition. Guests also enjoy the freedom of making their own breakfast, with a dedicated space set aside for a slow, unhurried start to the morning.

Between meals, there’s always time for a warm drink, whether that’s coffee, or one of the many herbal teas available at the hot drink station. These small comforts create moments of calm that complement the bigger steps of recovery.

Because when the body feels nourished, the mind is free to recover more fully.

Most people think of liver damage when it comes to alcohol’s risks, but research shows it’s linked to over 200 health conditions, including heart disease, cancers, digestive issues and mental health disorders.

Even moderate drinking can quietly affect the body. It interferes with restorative sleep, leaves the immune system less resilient, and can heighten feelings of anxiety or low mood.

Because alcohol is so socially accepted, these connections often go unnoticed. But understanding the full picture is important for making informed choices about your health.

Awareness is the first step toward lasting change. 🌿

If alcohol is starting to take a toll on your life or someone you love, support is available and help is closer than you think.
