GET TO KNOW US

foundations-bali-rehabilitation-service

At Foundations Bali, we believe that recovery should be more than clinical, it should be transformational, human, and alive.

Born from our own personal and professional experiences in recovery, we knew there was a need for something different : a place where individuals could heal deeply, build meaningful lives, and reconnect with themselves in an environment that feels both structured and soulful.

We combine the proven power of 12-step recovery with evidence-based therapies, trauma-informed care, and holistic wellness – all grounded in daily action, spiritual growth, and joyful connection.

This isn’t just about getting sober. It’s about awakening to a new way of living.

Our Approach

Our approach blends proven methods with compassionate care, creating the best possible conditions for lasting recovery.

Evidence-Based Care

Evidence-Based Care

We ground our program in proven clinical methods including CBT, EMDR, and trauma-informed therapy, ensuring each individual receives care that is both effective and tailored.

Holistic Integration

Recovery is not only mental but physical and emotional. We combine therapy with wellness practices like yoga, breathwork, and creative expression to support whole-person healing.

Structured & Supportive Environment

Our program offers daily routines, therapeutic structure, and compassionate guidance, helping you build stability, accountability, and confidence for long-term change.

Origins of the project

Foundations was born from both professional experience and personal insight. After years working in clinical settings around the world, our founders saw a need for something more complete; something that blended structure and safety with meaning and depth.
They envisioned a space that felt both professional and personal, where people could heal with dignity, be supported by experts, and rediscover joy along the way.
Foundations reflects that vision : serious, supportive, and committed to lasting outcomes.

Why bali

Bali offers more than beauty. It offers space, peace, and possibility.
The island’s natural environment, rich culture, and spiritual energy make it a uniquely powerful setting for recovery. Far from familiar triggers, surrounded by nature and a supportive international recovery community, individuals here can reset their rhythm and focus fully on healing.
We chose Bali for its ability to inspire real change : physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
