First Light Healthcare has consistently been delivering primary health care services to the wider Northern Rivers communities since 1977. As a progressive, vertically integrated primary healthcare provider offering a comprehensive array of medical, allied health and medical specialist services, we identified the need for evidence-based, holistic rehabilitation treatment programs based in the Byron Shire.

Raindrum provides bespoke, private rehabilitation treatment programs that are a natural extension of First Light Healthcare’s patient-first, outcome-oriented ethos. Our doctors, allied health practitioners and medical specialists are non-judgmental and pride themselves on delivering the highest possible standards of acute and preventative health care for clients from all over the world.

Raindrum’s approach to addressing mental health issues and drug and alcohol misuse is firmly founded on treating each individual as unique, with this philosophy backed by a practice of one client, one luxury home, one dedicated team.

Raindrum employs a highly qualified and experienced clinical team of medical staff, allied health professionals including highly regarded psychologists and experiential specialists, each working together as a team while adhering to strict clinical and client management processes. 

Issues clients may be dealing with can include – and in many cases can be a combination of – addiction and dependency, anxiety, depression, vocational stress, disordered eating, relationship conflict, sports and personal performance.

Raindrum’s treatments are crafted from a comprehensive combination of medical, psychological, physical, nutritional and experiential therapies. Each is designed to complement the others and so nurture the mind, body and spirit in harmony.

So exactly how is a successful program designed specifically for the individual achieved? According to Frederique Blunden, Raindrum’s Program Co-Ordinator, “The first step to building a highly personalised program are the initial clinical assessments with our Clinical Director and our lead psychologist which are conducted prior to admission.”

“Information gleaned from these two appointments form the basis of how the program is tailored – which staff will be best suited to the client, and how many therapy sessions the client requires.”

“Additionally, we determine with the client, what exercise modality will best support them, what creative pursuits, mindfulness skills and dietary plan should be introduced as well as any medical assessments the individual is requiring.”

“No two programs are ever the same. We build the program from the ground up to address the unique needs of our clients.”
