Duration & Fees for the Recovered Living NZ Programme

Programme Duration

At RLNZ we offer a full continuum of eating disorder care. We require that clients begin treatment in our residential programme to build a strong foundation in recovery.  From here, clients are gradually progressed through to the day, partial, and outpatient levels of care to create a long-lasting and sustained recovery.  
 

We pride ourselves on meeting you where you are at so there is no set length of stay in the Recovered Living NZ Programme. In order for you to get some traction in recovery the minimum length of stay in our Residential Programme is 4 weeks.

In saying that, an average time in Residential is around 2 - 4 months in order to create sustainable change.  Generally speaking, the amount of time you spend in our Residential Programme is roughly the amount of time people spend in our Day and Partial Programmes combined.  So, if you spend 2 months in Residential, we would loosely plan for you to spend a further 2 months completing our Day and Partial Programmes.

Our Day & Partial Programmes are not compulsory; however they are recommended, to give you the best foundation in your transition towards a recovered life.  In a ten year longitudinal study of the American based programme RLNZ is modelled from, the best indicator of sustained long term recovery was participation in the full continuum of treatment.

Fees

The Recovered Living programme has both private pay and ACC options. Please note ACC only covers residential treatment.  Our day, partial, and virtual outpatient options are open to clients who have first completed our residential programme in full.

Hardship Subsidy Funding

We may at times have partial treatment hardship subsidies available, thanks to the generosity of donors who support our organisation.

These subsidies, when available, are for people facing hardship or barriers to treatment who can show they are not able to meet full residential programme costs.

The support that may be available reduces the cost of treatment for those who are eligible.  Depending on availability of funds, these subsidies can vary in their level of support.  There are still elements of client pay as we are not yet able to offer fully subsidised funding.  Please note subsidy funding is not guaranteed and each person’s case will be individually assessed.  Any funding offered is based on the wishes of donors who support our cause.  We encourage you to book a phone assessment so we can speak with you about your personal situation and provide you with an application form.
