Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centres in Bali
Rehab Retreat in a Tropical Island Setting
One of the world’s most popular sightseeing hotspots and holiday destination, Bali has recently become a destination for medical tourism as well. Only a short flight from Australia, the island is particularly popular with those who are struggling with drug or alcohol addiction. Since the available treatment options at home may be unavailable or overly expensive, many decide to come to Bali for private alcohol or drug rehab.
Alcohol and drug rehab centres in Bali deliver high-quality programmes – often in luxurious facilities – at a fraction of the cost of their counterparts in a country such as Australia. As an added benefit, clients have the opportunity to break from the added stresses of their daily lives, and begin their recovery journeys in an idyllic tropical island setting.
General information can be found below, along with a complete list of private rehab centres on the island. Keep in mind, however, that Bali also offers other types of wellness facilities. Many Australians come to Bali to attend mental health retreats, as a way of restoring their personal balance. With its soothing environment and warm hospitality, the island is indeed conducive to wellbeing – so let’s look closer at what to expect if you come to Bali for rehab.
Freedom Rehab Bali
- Location: Seminyak, Bali 80361
- Occupancy: 1
- Treatment Philosophy: Three key elements combining extensive therapy, emotional and physical wellness, and addiction know-how
- Service: Inpatient rehab
- Founded: 2022
- Cost: $39,000
- Accommodation: En-suite rooms in a Balinese style house with access to pool, gym and relaxation area
- Specialisations: Private therapy for addiction and co-occurring mental health problems
Freedom Bali offers a unique proposition. Whereas the majority of treatment facilities offer treatment for multiple clients concurrently, Freedom provides a private, bespoke, one-on-one residential recovery programme. This is suitable for clients who prefer privacy not offered by a multi-person facility, those who require a specialist level of intensity or customisation and those that have unique requirements such as treatment with a dependent child.
Each client resides in a luxury pool villa in the Seminyak area where they will receive an intensive level of treatment modalities to help heal. This includes 5 individual counselling sessions per week, daily holistic activities, physical activities and massage. Meals are tailored to a client’s requirements and created by your own private chef. The treatment continues upon your departure where you will receive 3 months of complimentary aftercare to help you manage your recovery during the transition from treatment to life.
Their ethos revolves around the concept of addiction being a way of managing emotional pain and trauma and to achieve lasting recovery, these root causes must be addressed. All the clinical team are trained to Masters level and specialise in the treatment of addiction, co-occurring mental health issues and trauma.

They are one of the lesser-known rehab centres on the island, but they have a reputation for quietly getting the job done. They believe that a strong community helps to achieve recovery. In that spirit, they have room-sharing options available at affordable prices.
Their rehab programme is designed around the Bio-Psycho-Social-Spiritual Model, which accepts that there can be multiple causes of – and solutions to – addiction. They also incorporate the 12-step model. Clients attend onsite meetings as well as meetings in the town of Ubud.
Kembali’s fees are in the middle tier among Bali’s many rehab options.
Bali Beginnings

- Founded: 2015
- Cost: Below AU$ 10,000
- Accommodation: Private en-suite room with traditional Balinese décor
- Specialisations: Alcohol addiction, drug addiction (illegal and prescribed), and dual diagnosis
Bali Beginnings is located in a converted house in the Kesiman area of Bali. The facility wouldn’t be classed as 5-star, but it is comfortable and has reasonable amenities. The centre treats a maximum of six clients, and each client lives in a private room with en-suite bathroom.
Bali Beginnings gained new investors and came under new management two years ago. Since then, it has gained a solid reputation for its programme and clinicians. The centre is led by Dr Terry Spokes, who is widely regarded as one of the premier clinical leaders in Indonesia.
The centre’s therapeutic programme provides a blend of traditional, holistic, and innovative approaches to recovery. Clinical methods include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), as well as compassion focused therapy (CFT). Holistic treatments include reiki, acupuncture, sound healing, meditation, exercise, and yoga. Bali Beginnings also offers a two-day family workshop, which clients can attend on a monthly basis.
Bali Beginnings uses a number of psychometric tests and surveys to measure and improve the effectiveness of their programme. Registered nurses are onsite 24/7 to monitor clients in detox and treatment.
Sivana Bali
- Location: Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361
- Occupancy: 14
- Treatment Philosophy: 12-step model in combination with psychological approaches; strong educational component.
- Service: Inpatient rehab and medical detox
- Founded: 2014
- Cost: AU$ 10,000 - $20,000
- Accommodation: En-suite private rooms with a personal lounge and study area set in a large resort-style complex
- Specialisations: Drug rehabilitation, ice addiction, and alcohol addiction treatment
Sivana is widely regarded as one of the best rehab centres in Bali. Located in tranquil Canggu, Bali – just a short walk from both Echo and Batu Bolong beaches – its facilities are surrounded by lush tropical gardens and rice paddies. The large resort-style complex is home to two swimming pools and 14 rooms. Each of these rooms features an en-suite bathroom and traditional Balinese décor.
Sivana is the second-oldest rehab facility on the island, and it was founded by a former staff member and client of Seasons (the first rehab facility established in Bali). The centre provides a comprehensive addiction treatment programme facilitated by its Australian and Balinese staff.
Detoxification is provided onsite under the supervision of a medical team. The clinical programme includes the 12-step model, cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment therapy.
Sivana has 28-day and 60-day treatment programmes. They also offer family programmes and aftercare options. Treatment costs AU$ 12,700 for 28 days, which is on the higher end of the spectrum. However, Sivana’s reputation as a reliable treatment option goes a long way toward justifying the cost.
The Lighthouse Bali
- Location: Kota Denpasar, Bali 80227
- Occupancy: 3
- Treatment Philosophy: Holistic, evidence based, individually focused, one-on-one, private and discreet
- Service: Inpatient and outpatient treatment, medical detox, and sober companion
- Founded: 2013
- Cost: AU$ 20,000+
- Accommodation: Private luxury villa near the beach with all modern amenities, including swimming pool, Wi-Fi, and A/C
- Specialisations: Private drug and alcohol addiction treatment
The Lighthouse is another bespoke treatment provider where the clients live in their own villa and have a programme built around their individual circumstances and needs. The centre has a maximum occupancy of three clients, but clients never see or interact with one another.
They charge AU$ 30,000+ per month, which is a very low price for this type of exclusive treatment. Generally, prices for such bespoke programmes range from AU$ 58,000 to AU$ 290,000 per month in other parts of the world. In all likelihood, this cost saving can be achieved by clients sharing staff members which is no bad thing as clients can’t be doing a single activity or counselling modality at all times.
In a traditional inpatient treatment programme, you would receive around 24 hours of group and individual clinical work per week. In this programme, you will receive less than that.
The Lighthouse has an experienced and international clinical team and the centre’s programme is rooted in the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, which focuses on the interrelationship between man, spirit and nature. There is no group work, but clients are introduced to others in the recovery community and encouraged to participate in meetings and outreach projects.
Seasons Bali
- Location: Kabupaten Badung, Bali 80361
- Occupancy: 12
- Treatment Philosophy: 12-step based therapeutic community treatment model
- Service: Residential treatment, outpatient treatment, medical detox
- Founded: 2021
- Cost: $10,740 for 28 days
- Accommodation: Private en-suite rooms in a traditional Indonesian home with a modern twist
- Specialisations: Drug and alcohol addiction
Seasons is the oldest rehab centre in Bali, and many other treatment centres on the island were founded by former staff and clients. The centre follows a very traditional 12-step programme with peer groups often led by senior clients. This is part of Seasons Bali’s philosophy of gradually empowering clients to help others.
Seasons Bali offers a seven-day on-site medical detox, including Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) if necessary to ease withdrawal symptoms. After that, treatment is largely group-based and led by recovering clients rather than professionals in the field. For that reason, treatment costs are relatively low starting at AUD 7,000 for a 14-day treatment programme, with some flexibly even on that price.
Seasons Bali offers both primary treatment and sober living facilities. Its managers also run Yayasan Musim Indonesia (Seasons Indonesia Foundation), a charity in Kerobokan, which offers affordable rehab for Westerners and free rehab for local Indonesians.
