Curl Curl, Sydney's Northern Beaches
A calm setting for focused clinical care.
Located close to Curl Curl Beach, South Pacific Private is a fully accredited private psychiatric hospital supporting clients and families through addiction, trauma and mental health treatment. The setting is calm, but the care is structured, experienced and clinically led.
Why South Pacific Private
Care that looks for what's underneath the symptoms.
Treatment that doesn't hold often stopped at symptoms. Our model looks at the developmental patterns and family and relational history underneath addiction, trauma and mental health difficulties.
Group psychotherapy, individual sessions and psychiatric care work together within a single treatment approach, coordinated by the same clinical team.
Many clients arrive after other programs. The focus here is on why change didn't hold, not repeating the same approach.
Integrated care
When addiction, trauma and mental health overlap, treatment needs to look at the whole picture.
Many people come to treatment with more than one concern. Substance use, behavioural addictions, trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, codependency and family relationships can all interact with each other.
One assessment considers all of this together - addiction, trauma, mental health, family systems and continuing care - rather than treating each in isolation. Integrated psychiatric, medical, nursing and therapeutic care can help connect presenting symptoms with underlying causes, family context and the level of support a person may need across admission, transition and ongoing recovery.
Conditions we treat
Support for dual diagnosis and co-occurring conditions.
These concerns can appear separately or together. If you are unsure where to begin, a self-assessment or a call with Intake can help clarify the next step.
01
Substance Use and Behavioural Addictions
Alcohol, drugs, prescription medication, gambling, sex addiction, gaming and work.
02
Trauma, PTSD and Complex Trauma
Support for trauma responses linked with mood, anxiety or addiction concerns.
03
Depression, Anxiety and Mood Disorders
Integrated care for depression, anxiety, mood and dual diagnosis presentations.
