Our lounge and dining spaces are the heart of Gunnebah, a welcoming hub where guests can unwind, connect, and simply enjoy being part of a supportive community.

From the mud-brick charm and stained-glass features indoors to the relaxed garden outlook outside, each area is designed to feel comforting and lived-in.

Whether it’s sharing a meal, reading by the fire, or having an easy conversation, these moments often become some of the most grounding parts of the recovery journey.

Christmas gatherings often come with social pressure to drink, and many people find it hard to say no even when they don’t want to. But saying no protects your wellbeing, especially if you’re trying to reduce or stop drinking.

Having a plan helps. Bring your own non-alcoholic drink. Decide ahead of time how long you will stay. Let one supportive person know your plan so you don’t feel alone in the moment. These small steps help reduce pressure and make gatherings feel easier to handle.

Protecting your health is more important than meeting expectations. It’s your Christmas too, and you deserve to feel steady and supported.

There’s a myth that recovery only begins once you’ve lost everything, but real change doesn’t have to wait for a crisis.

You don’t need to hit rock bottom to seek help. In fact, the earlier you act, the more options you’ll have.

Many people come to us not in crisis, but because they’re tired of pretending everything is okay. They might be functioning on the surface, holding a job or keeping up appearances, but underneath they feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or like something isn’t right.

That inner struggle is valid. You’re allowed to seek support the moment life starts to feel out of balance. The most powerful shift often begins with one honest decision - to stop waiting and start choosing something better.

Therapy isn’t just about talking, it’s about learning how to process thoughts and feelings in a way that promotes real change.

At Gunnebah, our Therapy Hub is where real breakthroughs happen. Whether someone is processing grief, trauma, anxiety, or the impact of long-term alcohol or drug use, this is where the emotional work of recovery begins.

From one-on-one sessions to group therapy and guided support, every interaction is grounded in compassion, evidence-based care, and genuine human connection.

Because healing isn’t just about stopping harmful behaviours — it’s about understanding yourself, finding clarity, and building something better from within.

There’s a special kind of hope that comes from feeling like yourself again.

This reflection is a reminder that with the right support, healing becomes less about pressure and more about rediscovery.

We’re grateful to walk alongside people as they reconnect with the parts of themselves they thought were gone. 🌿

First summer sober? The holiday season might feel different this year but different doesn’t mean difficult.

Long lunches, festive catch-ups, and end-of-year stress can all come with pressure to drink. If this is your first time going through it booze-free, planning ahead helps.

Here’s what you can do. 🎥

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.

Reach out for a confidential chat when you’re ready.

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.
