Considering rehab outside Melbourne
Sometimes getting away is exactly the point
Looking for rehab in Melbourne may feel like the most practical place to start. For some people, local treatment is the right choice. For others, remaining close to the same routines, pressures, social circles and access to alcohol or drugs makes it harder to create a genuine break.
Travelling to Bali gives you physical and mental space from the environment in which addiction has been happening. You are not running away from your life. You are creating enough space to work out how you want to return to it.
At Foundations, that distance is matched by a deliberately small residential setting, personalised treatment and support available around the clock. The aim is not simply to help you stop. It is to help you reconnect with confidence, enjoyment and a recovery that feels worth protecting.

Why Foundations Bali
Personal treatment. A fuller experience of recovery.
Professional treatment matters. So does what life begins to feel like while you are getting well. Foundations brings both together in a programme shaped around the person rather than a standard template.
01
Known properly
Guest numbers stay intentionally low, allowing the team to understand your history, health, substance use and what you need to move forward.
02
Professional support
Your programme may include psychiatric support, medical detox where required, individual counselling, small groups, recovery education and 24/7 on-site care.
03
Recovery through living
Therapeutic work is balanced with movement, nature, creativity, shared meals and experiences that help rebuild connection, confidence and enjoyment.
04
People who understand
Foundations was created by people with lived experience of addiction and recovery, bringing human understanding alongside professional care.
05
Privacy and distance
A private setting away from familiar routines can give you room to be honest, settle into treatment and focus fully on getting well.
06
Support beyond Bali
Recovery planning begins before you leave, with bespoke aftercare and further step-down support through the Transitions partnership where appropriate.
For eligible Australians
Can I Use My Super
to Pay for Rehab?
Eligible Australians may be able to apply for early release of superannuation on compassionate grounds to help fund addiction treatment. Foundations can explain the process and help prepare the supporting treatment information. Approval remains with the Australian Taxation Office and your super fund, and eligibility is assessed individually.
Melbourne to Bali
A meaningful distance. A manageable journey.
Direct flights operate between Melbourne and Denpasar. The journey takes approximately six hours and fifteen minutes, making Bali far enough away to create genuine separation without making treatment feel unreachable.
Once you enquire, the admissions team talks through suitability, detox needs, programme options, costs and timing. If you decide to come, we help make the practical steps clear and arrange your arrival transfer with you, so you know what will happen from landing in Bali to settling into Foundations.
- Direct Melbourne to Denpasar flights available
- Admissions support before you travel
- Approximately 6 hours 15 minutes flying time
- Arrival and airport transfer arrangements confirmed in advance
Programme options and cost
Compare what each pathway gives you
Price matters, but the useful comparison is what is included, how much time you have in treatment and the level of support you will receive. We will explain the full cost before you commit.

Recovery through living
Build a life you want to protect
Treatment includes serious therapeutic and recovery work, but recovery cannot live only inside a counselling room. Days at Foundations also involve movement, shared meals, creativity, nature and new experiences across Bali.
Yoga, fitness, surfing, waterfalls and cultural activities are not distractions from treatment. They help you practise connection, manage discomfort, rebuild confidence and experience enjoyment without alcohol or drugs.

Rehab from Melbourne
Questions before you travel
Going overseas for treatment is a significant decision. These are the practical questions people often want answered while comparing rehab options in Melbourne and Bali.
Why travel from Melbourne to Bali for rehab?
For some people, distance from familiar routines, triggers, social circles, work pressure and easy access to substances creates the space needed to engage fully in treatment. Bali also allows recovery work to be combined with nature, movement and new sober experiences. Local treatment may still be the right choice for some people; a confidential conversation can help you weigh the options.
How long is the flight from Melbourne to Bali?
A direct flight from Melbourne to Denpasar takes approximately six hours and fifteen minutes. Flight schedules change, so check current airline availability when planning your admission. The Foundations team will confirm arrival and transfer arrangements with you before you travel.
How much does rehab at Foundations Bali cost?
The 14-Day Reset starts from USD $10,000 and the full residential programme starts from USD $15,000. Sixty and ninety-day options are also available. If you begin with the 14-Day Reset and extend into the full residential programme, the amount already paid is credited towards the total cost.
Can I use my Super to pay for rehab?
Eligible Australians may be able to apply for early release of superannuation on compassionate grounds to help fund treatment. Approval is not automatic and remains with the Australian Taxation Office and your super fund. Foundations can explain the process and help prepare supporting treatment information.
Is medical detox available?
Yes. Medical detox is available where clinically required and Foundations is an appropriate setting for your withdrawal needs. Your health, substance use and risks are assessed before admission. If hospital-level care is needed, the team will explain the safest alternative.
Is overseas rehab safe and confidential?
Foundations provides a private residential setting with 24/7 on-site staff and personalised support. Your information and treatment are handled confidentially, subject to legal and safety obligations. The admissions team can answer detailed questions about clinical suitability, privacy and travel before you decide.
What happens when I return to Melbourne?
Planning for home begins during treatment. Your continuing-care plan may include remote counselling, programme check-ins, peer support or further step-down support through the Transitions partnership where appropriate. Recommendations are shaped around your circumstances and the support available in Melbourne.
