Not Drinking (Alcohol) Today Podcast

Ever wondered when a stay in a rehabilitation treatment centre might be necessary? What can you expect if you or a loved one is considering spending some time in one? What does an average day look like in rehab?
Today we discuss these questions and more with Ruth Limkin, Chief Development Officer of Sana Health Group, which coordinates a network of Australia's three leading treatment centres located in some of the most beautiful parts of the world: The Banyans Healthcare in Queensland, Byron Private and the Palladium in South East Queensland. This episode is especially significant for Bella who spent some time in Byron Private in 2020.
Ruth's passion for assisting people to create better futures for themselves is genuinely inspiring. Ruth unpacks the unique, holistic care programs that these treatment centres provide.
We unpack a lot in this episode, including the surge in chronic stress, burnout and substance abuse during COVID and beyond and how barriers to accessing quality care can be reduced via education, workplace initiatives and policy reform.
Ruth shares practical advice on seeking help and reminds listeners that they are not alone in their struggle. Don't miss this insightful conversation about the life-changing work that Ruth and her team are doing at Sana and Banyan's Healthcare. Tune in now.
