The Smart Choice for Recovery

Why Choose Bali Beginnings

Why people pick us — and where we're not the right fit, plainly.

In Brief

The Three Reasons Clients Choose Us

1. The clinical work is properly clinical.

The programme was designed by Dr Terry Spokes — Oxford-trained Clinical Psychologist with 15+ years heading NHS departments before he came to us. CBT, ACT and CFT, delivered by qualified psychologists. 24/7 medical care. Body-based therapies for the people who get value from them. Not a one-size-fits-all template.

2. It costs a good deal less than UK private residential rehab.

UK private residential rehab — the Priory and places like it — often runs to £8,000–£12,000 a week, so a month can land well past £30,000. We come in a good way under that. It isn't because we cut corners on the clinical side; it's that running costs in Bali are lower, our model is lean, and we don't carry the marketing overhead the big UK chains do. Get in touch and we'll talk through what a stay would actually cost.

3. The aftercare runs for two years, not 30 days.

This is probably the bit we're most proud of. Most rehabs do a wave-off at 30 or 90 days. Ours runs for two years — regular check-ins, ongoing psychology, community connection, family work. Honestly, the residential stay is the easy bit. The journey really starts when a client goes home.

What Sets Us Apart

Six things to know

8

Intentionally small

Eight clients, maximum. Big enough to have a group dynamic, small enough that the team actually knows you. No anonymity, no slipping through the cracks.

40:8

A 40:8 staff ratio

Forty staff for eight clients. Means real access to psychologists, doctors, recovery coaches and therapists, and someone available 24/7 when things get hard.

✓

Solid clinical work

Programme designed by an Oxford-trained Clinical Psychologist. CBT, ACT and CFT. The 12-step program woven in. Body-based therapies for those who get value from them.

All-In

All-in pricing

Flights, transfers, insurance, detox, treatment, meals. One price covers all of it. We're upfront about what it costs and there aren't surprise extras at the end.

24mo

2-year aftercare

Most rehabs stop at 30 or 90 days. Ours runs for two years — regular check-ins, ongoing psychology, peer community, family work. It's the bit that makes the rest of the work stick.

🌴

Bali itself

Real distance from your triggers, proper privacy (no chance of running into someone from work), and a setting that helps the work along rather than fighting it. And a cost that sits well below UK private rehab.

Where we're not the right fit

We're not for everyone, and we won't pretend otherwise. If you can't sacrifice your phone and laptop for 28 days, we're probably not your place. If you're looking for a wellness retreat rather than serious clinical work, we're not your place either. There are other rehabs that do excellent work in different ways — Sivana, South Pacific Private, The Banyans — and a good fit elsewhere is much more useful than the wrong fit with us.

If you do want to talk it through, the admissions team will give you a straight answer about whether we're right for your situation. And if we're not, we'll tell you who might be.
