I had a wonderful experience at Calm Rehab Bali. I was totally broken when I arrived,. The safe and comforting environment helped me assess my life and where it was going. Four weeks later and many groups and counselling sessions I can honestly say I feel refreshed, excited, confident and with a new zest for life.
Thanks to the amazing staff who helped me through my bad days it wouldn’t have worked if it wasn’t for you all. I feel very thankful and blessed to have been able to have this opportunity it’s made a huge difference in my life.
Life is good now and no word of a lie it’s the best thing I ever did. Thanks guys xx

Within days I had a very strong sense that Calm was exactly where I needed to be. The team, the wonderful facility and their nurturing approach felt tailor made for me, and even seemed to develop and evolve in lock-step with my journey through their process and activities.
I hope that I will never have a rehab experience to compare Calm to, and I expect that the work we did together will mean that the chances of ever having to are now hugely reduced. Thank you.

The best decision I’ve ever made was coming to CALM rehab. | was a broken scattered puzzle. The staff and program offered put the pieces back together. Thus finding not just a reason but purpose to live again.
CALM tailored program means your unique struggles and challenges will be handled differently to the next. For example | had lost social and life skills through addiction. Volunteering at a dog shelter was organised just for me by staff. (dream job) to get me in the habit of working and interacting with people again. Calm is a totally tailored program to help you put the pieces of your broken life back together.
Almost all staff have been through addiction themselves. So there’s no “you don’t understand” moments. | could write a book on how great calm is, however as the current longest client here | would just conclude by saying. “Trust the process, You won’t regret it”

The overall Calm experience is so memorable – the connections made, the quality of the programme, the integrity of the staff. Plus of course Beam the dog! Mostly because when you enter Calm you can be rest assured that you will be treated as a person, not as a number.

Before entering the open arms and care of Calm life was in an extremely trivial space, coming here was a life or death decision. Since arriving life has taken on a whole new meaning and totally worth living. Through education a light has been shone, giving tools and resources that have allowed for a new way of coping with things that were intolerable.
Where there was a void the programme and staff have assisted in so many ways allowing room to have needs met and in turn helping me to create a hope for the future without the need for substances to cope.

It was in the last week of June 2019 our son Damien came to us and asked for help, as he hit rock bottom in his life due to Alcohol and drugs. Unfortunately, we could not get help in Sydney and the waiting time was over five to six weeks to get a place in rehab. Damien could not wait that long and he required immediate attention. We called Calm Rehab on 28th of June and we spoke to Jack Mitchell the founder of Calm Rehab. He had a vacancy for Damien. We did not waste any time and we flew to Bali the next day to admit Damien.
Jack organised everything for us and had his staff to greet us at the airport in Bali and take Damien to Calm Rehab immediately. He also organised a Villa for my wife and myself to stay, which was not too far from the Rehab place. We met Jack the next day when we visited Calm Rehab to see our son Damien, as we were worried how he would get through the night.
Jack is a very well organised person and assured us that Damien is in the best place and he will be given all the help to cure him from Alcohol and drugs. Jack always kept in touch with us to update on Damien’s progress with the program.
We also met, Matthew little, the counsellor of Calm Rehab. He assured us that Damien will be heading the right direction in life after his program with Calm Rehab.
Damien was there for 30 days and he completed the program.
Damien is back home and looks a complete different person. He loves his kids and spends a lot of time with them. He is back at work and doing very well. Everyone at work is amazed how Damien turn around to be a nice person
The good thing about Calm Rehab is that they haven’t forgotten Damien. Jack has told him to call them anytime if he needs help.
My wife and I will recommend Calm Rehab to any of our relations and friends, if they require a place for anyone who will experience the Alcohol and drug problem with their loved ones, as we did.

The place is called “Calm” for a reason. The staff will become family and will be there to support you in any way you need.
What I’ve learnt from Calm rehab is that, you’re not alone! You have the help from people that have been down the same roads and understand the struggle.
I’m a person who has been on many drugs in my life, and did over come some by myself with the help of friends and family, but alcohol became my final addiction and there was nothing anyone could say or do to help me get off it. That’s until I was taken to Bali and sent to Calm. Even though I overcame other addictions in life, they opened my mind up even more to the reasons behind it all. The in-depth conversations about your personal struggle really hits home. You start finding yourself without hiding behind the mask you’ve created.
I’m now on 3 months sober and I’m not even thinking about touching a drink. It’s still early days for me and I do struggle some days, but the tools and mindfulness they teach you at Calm really helps if you use them.
The Balinese nurses really care for you. They become like bothers and sisters and will be there for you no matter what time it is, and the food is amazing because it’s made by the best chef in all of Bali!
If you feel it’s time for you to get some help, please give these guys a call. It’s what they do best. They help people in need!

I will never forget the apparent dedication of the entire team at Calm. I always felt safe and that my recovery was their priority. Although I recognize Calm as a business, there was never anything that felt money driven.
My time at Calm has given me hope for the future that I didn’t have, nor could even visualize, before coming here. I’m going back to my family a much better version of the man they saw leave. I’m so grateful that I ended up at Calm of all the rehabs – I know my transformation would not have been so complete without the science-based approach to mind and body healing.

I have only great things to say about Calm rehab. When I first came into the facility I was welcomed with open arms and everyone (from cleaning to the clinical staff) showed up for me professionally and also personable and kind on a daily basis. I came in broken and left feeling confident, strong and well rested. Not only did Calm offer daily mindfulness practises such as yoga and meditation; they also offered in-depth Trauma, addiction and neuroscientific education that made me understand my own disease.
I left calm with a full recovery plan, a new hope for living and a world of knowledge. If you are looking for a spiritual Bali retreat in a safe environment and a professional team that understands trauma and addiction recovery – Calm is the place for you.

I could not be happier to write a review for Calm Rehab Bali. I live in the Los Angeles area and my son lives in Bali. When I realized my son was in deep trouble with his drinking, I was desperate to find help for him. I feared he was close to dying. Thank God, my son was able to give me the name of a friend who knew how to contact Calm Rehab. After a long and anxious night, I was able to connect with Andy at Calm. Andy was compassionate, understanding and sensed the urgency of the situation. Within 24 hours, a team was dispatched to pick up my son and, with my son’s permission, take him to rehab. I honestly believe Calm Rehab saved my son’s life. I was able to make arrangements for payment and my son began a difficult week of detox.
I was deeply relieved to learn that Calm has a nurse on duty 24/7. His detox was closely supervised and managed safely. Jack kept in close contact with me and my son’s mother throughout the process. After that, my son began an intense program of rehabilitation and recovery. No phones or computers were allowed for 2 full weeks. His time was spent in classes, in personal counseling and in programs to rebuild his health. A medical doctor with training in psychology worked closely with my son and gave him the necessary tools to remain sober. Without this intense and very strict 30-day program, my son would not have made it. I am pleased to say my son is doing well. He has acquired a new sense of identity and is no longer in denial. He openly admits to having an allergy to alcohol and knows the perils of taking another drink. He is proud of himself and looks forward to helping others live a full and complete life. This is a huge step forward and a new beginning for my son.
My deepest thanks to the entire staff at Calm Rehab Bali. They handled every step of the way with professional skills and kindness. They are maintaining contact with my son and monitoring his progress. I can honestly say after 20 years of alcohol abuse my son has a new lease on life. I credit Calm Rehab and I credit my son. He has finally made the commitment to live a clean and sober life. He could not have done this without Calm. I am so grateful. I feel like I have my son back. In deep gratitude,

My experience at Calm Rehab Bali far exceeded any expectations I could have imagined. Upon arrival I was treated with the upmost respect and compassion. The Doctors, Nurses and support staff knew I was in rough condition and that the next week entering detox would be the toughest part of my journey. Everyone made sure 24 hours a day that I was comfortable, relaxed and receiving the best medical and emotional support possible. With the teams guidance I was able to finish my detox in 7 days instead of 11 and jump right into the group and private therapy sessions. It felt great to be actively participating in my recovery process after only one week ago being intoxicated and having no hope for recovery.
Over the course of the next three weeks the team enabled me to build a strong recovery plan along with a renewed sense of self confidence and joy for life. The patient and loving manner in which Calm’s recovery tools are delivered allowed me to digest everything thoroughly without being overwhelmed or frustrated. I built trust in their program immediately and this gave me the faith to be vulnerable and allow the recovery process to take root. The practicality of the program is really what impressed me. It is not solely a 12 step program, rather it encompasses a holistic approach to living a purposeful life without the need of alcohol or outside substances. The group lectures covered everything from co-dependance to finding your own voice plus the neuro-science of addiction. Although Calm is technically a Rehabilitation center, the overall vibe and demeanor of the operation is more of a guide to living a sober, happy and productive life.
I am grateful and appreciative to the entire team at Calm. The relationships that were built during my month stay have remained in tact and nurturing even after my graduation. I believe this shows the level of dedication Calm has towards their clients. If you are considering making a change in your life for the better, please reach out to this team of understanding and passionate people. There is nothing to loose and the world to gain. All the best, Sincerely

My time at calm…
My name is Thomas I am a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. My addiction started when I was 14 dependant on marijuana alcohol LSD ecstasy amphetamines and experimented with cocaine and heroin. My addiction changed at 17 when I started injecting and had used my way to 53 kg of desperate person I weigh 75 kg today screaming for help I attended my first rehab which put my addiction on pause for the time I was there. When I got out I continued to suffer from my addiction for a long time until another rehab at the age of around 30 years old my addiction had worsened and I was injecting amphetamines daily and using benzodiazepine and heroin to rest from my drug of choice ICE. THIS rehab was like Nazi camp I stopped using while I was there I lived there for 13 months while we were whipped hard to WORK sit up straight etc this rehab did not work and on leaving many of us about six were using before we left.
I drugged my way back to my using weight of 50 odd k until I had had another overdose. My family and loved ones were torn apart again in desperation they contacted CALM REHAB I was chronically sick from my ICE heroin benzodiazepine ADDICTION I was meet at the airport by friendly staff who took me safely to CALM. With time I withdrew from my horrible drugs, I was fed healthy yummy food and at one stage picked up of the floor too sick to move, this is as sick as I had ever being my rock bottom.
With time my ADDICTION was explained to me I learnt why I was treating MYSELF so bad with groups and informative LECTURES and a one on one focus on understanding about my life is an shown how to live in a CLEAN and sober life style. I was truly set FREE I FEEL BORN AGAIN. ME AND MY FAMILY have nothing but ENDLESS thank your for the people at CALM if u have a chance take the opportunity of getting your life back in control the people at CALM can HELP. Thank you CALM

Our family will be forever grateful to Calm Rehab in Bali. From the moment I first made contact I felt that we had found the right rehab for my nephew who was in the throes of active addiction. With the help of qualified, professional staff in a caring & compassionate environment, he was able to break the cycle of severe ice addiction.
The facility itself is western owned & operated however given the quality of the team, the program and the facilities it’s surprisingly affordable unlike some other rehabs in Bali that offer similar sounding programs. Within the beautiful riverside setting my nephew attended group sessions, educational workshops and had 1:1 counselling sessions with the most amazing counsellor who was genuinely committed to his recovery. Calm also helped him work on his physical health through nutrition and daily exercise. My nephew benefited so much from Calm’s approach and ended up really enjoying his time there, meeting new people and learning to build a solid foundation to cope with future challenges.
It was such a relief once my nephew agreed to go to rehab & when we were offered a place at Calm it was like the biggest weight had been lifted off our shoulders because as a family we knew that Calm was the best place for him to be. He’s still in recovery today and doing really well so if you are reading this review because you are desperately worried about yourself or a loved one make contact with Calm as they can really help.
