Every donation gives someone the opportunity to change their life
Since opening in 2013, The Retreat NZ has helped thousands of New Zealanders find recovery from alcohol addiction. Through our private residential programmes we have restored hope to individuals, reunited families and helped people build lives free from alcohol.
As a registered New Zealand charity, our mission is simple: to ensure that anyone who is ready to recover has the opportunity to do so.
Your donation helps make that possible.
Recovery shouldn't depend on someone's bank balance
Alcohol addiction affects people from every walk of life. Many people desperately want help but simply can’t afford private treatment and wait times in publicly funded facilities can be prohibitive.
Our programmes include:
- 30-Day Residential Alcohol Rehab (from $17,900)
- 5-Night Medically Supported Alcohol Detox (from $8,000)
For many people and their families, these costs are simply out of reach. While guests contribute towards the cost whenever possible, donations allow us to provide financial assistance to those who need it most. Every dollar donated helps remove one more barrier to recovery.
Why we need your support
Unlike many countries, New Zealand does not classify alcoholism as a disease for funding purposes, meaning organisations like The Retreat NZ receive little or no government funding for the life-changing work we do. As a not-for-profit organisation, we rely on the generosity of individuals, businesses and charitable trusts to continue helping people overcome alcohol addiction.
Your support helps us:
- Provide treatment scholarships for people who cannot afford care
- Improve our facilities and therapeutic environment
- Expand access to recovery services
- Help more New Zealanders and their families rebuild their lives
See the difference your support makes
Your donation is tax deductible
As a registered New Zealand charity, donations of $5 or more are eligible for a 33.33% tax credit, meaning your generosity can go even further.
Be part of someone's recovery story
Every day someone reaches out to us looking for help. Together, we can ensure that cost isn’t the reason they miss the opportunity to recover.
With heartfelt thanks to our supporters
The work we do wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of our funding partners, community organisations, businesses and individual donors. We sincerely thank everyone who has helped make recovery possible for so many New Zealanders.
