What we help with
Addiction often sits alongside stress, anxiety or low mood. We look at the whole picture, not just the substance or behaviour.
Alcohol
Drinking more than you intend, relying on alcohol to cope, or finding it hard to cut down.
Drugs and medicines
Use of illegal drugs, or misuse of prescription medicines such as sleeping pills or painkillers.
Gambling and other behaviours
Gambling and other compulsive behaviours, where clinically appropriate.
Addiction and mental health
Support for anxiety, depression or trauma alongside substance use.

Your care plan
Individual therapy, family sessions, psychiatric review or the Recovery Care Program, depending on what you need.
Treatment options
Individual therapy
One-to-one sessions using approaches such as CBT, DBT and ACT. About individual therapy
Recovery Care Program (IOP)
A four-week structured outpatient programme with individual and group therapy, medical and psychiatric input, and family involvement. About the programme

If you need residential care
Some people need medically supervised detox or time away from home before outpatient care is safe. If so, we’ll talk you through your options, including our sister services:
- Solace Asia: residential rehab and detox in Kuala Lumpur
- Salus: a residential recovery retreat in Cyberjaya
After a residential stay, the Recovery Care Program can support your return home.
Need urgent help?
If someone is in immediate danger, or has severe withdrawal symptoms such as seizures, confusion or hallucinations, call 999 or go to the nearest emergency department.
Common questions
Is addiction treatment at Sanctuary confidential?
Yes. What you share is kept confidential, within the limits set out in our clinic policies.
Do I need rehab, or is outpatient treatment enough?
It depends on your physical health, withdrawal risk and support at home. Your assessment helps decide the safest level of care. Read: Can I recover from addiction without going to rehab?
I’m worried about a family member. Can I contact you?
Yes. Family members often reach out first. We can talk through what you’re noticing and how to encourage your loved one to get support.
How much does addiction treatment cost?
Your first 30-minute consultation is free. Individual therapy starts from RM300 per session. See Pricing, or ask our team about Recovery Care Program fees.
