Capri Sanctuary

About Capri Sanctuary

Capri Sanctuary is a private residential rehabilitation and behavioural health centre in Karaka, a peaceful rural area south of central Auckland. Designed for a small number of adults at a time, the sanctuary offers a discreet and personal setting where guests can step away from everyday pressures and concentrate on meaningful, sustainable change. Treatment is personalised around each guest’s history, health needs and recovery goals. Its evidence-informed programme incorporates cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing and relapse-prevention work. Care is available for substance use, gambling and co-occurring concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and chronic stress. Capri Sanctuary follows a whole-person, trauma-informed philosophy. Alongside psychological and medical support, guests can work on sleep, nutrition, exercise, mindfulness, self-awareness and emotional regulation. Detox support may be provided when clinically appropriate, with medical and nursing professionals helping guests remain safe and comfortable throughout withdrawal. The residence is set among more than two hectares of established gardens and mature trees. Private comforts, wholesome chef-prepared dining and amenities such as a pool, gym, sauna, spa, massage room and golf practice areas create a restorative environment. After the residential phase, ongoing coaching can help guests apply their individual Living Well Plan at home.
