You're not alone in this
Worried, tired, and not sure who to ask?
Maybe it's your son, your husband, or your brother. You've tried talking. You've tried waiting. It keeps coming back.
In Sabah, families often carry this quietly, because everyone knows everyone. That makes it lonely, and hard to know where to start.
You don't need to have the answers. You only need to make the first call.

AI illustrationA local team that understands addiction
We understand the pain addiction brings. We also know there are few treatment choices here, so we built Borneo Recovery to close the gap between access, affordability and quality care.
We have been helping families in Sabah since 2021.
We use well-known methods — the 12 Steps, the Stages of Change (Transtheoretical model) and Recovery Coaching — and shape them around our needs as Malaysians and Sabahans. Like we say here: "Kita kita juga bah ni."
