Addictions & Dependencies We Treat

We can only tailor a programme specifically to you if we understand where the pain lies and what is causing it. Through our interdisciplinary 360-degree approach, your team will identify every aspect of your health and well-being that requires attention and rebalancing. This comprehensive assessment forms the foundation of your treatment programme—individualised, holistic, and deeply transformative.

Addiction is not only psychological—it is also deeply rooted in the body. For this reason, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic procedures to gain a complete picture of your health.

From 24-hour ECGs and HRV analyses to stress echocardiography and full-body MRIs, our precise examinations identify every potential physiological dysregulation.

Through our functional-medicine approach, we also systematically identify stressors such as chronic inflammation, gut dysbiosis, toxin accumulation, nutrient deficiencies, parasites, or heavy metals—often overlooked factors that can significantly affect both mental and physical balance.

Daily one-to-one sessions with experienced psychiatrists, psychotherapists, and psychologists form the cornerstone of your therapeutic work.

Your psychotherapist will support you in uncovering hidden trauma, harmful thought patterns, and emotional stressors—those inner dynamics that have contributed to the development of your addiction. In parallel, your psychologist will help you develop new perspectives and sustainable coping strategies that are stable, practical, and aligned with your individual life reality.

Your “live-in” therapist provides therapeutic support at any moment—not only during scheduled sessions. The therapist resides in the same residence and is available 24 hours a day, from crisis situations to moments when you feel the spontaneous need to talk.

Experience shows that the deepest insights often emerge between formal sessions: over morning coffee, in a quiet moment in the evening, or in the middle of the night, when symptoms can be particularly intense.

Your psychiatrist supports you closely throughout the entire programme, working in close coordination with your therapeutic team. We apply a precision psychiatry approach, meaning your treatment is fully tailored to your individual biological and psychological profile.

In one-to-one sessions, your psychiatrist helps you identify and address emotional challenges, trauma, and any potential co-occurring conditions. When necessary, diagnoses can be made and medication prescribed—always with the goal of stabilising your mental health holistically and always in close collaboration with you.

Biochemical restoration is a branch of functional medicine focused on ensuring that both mind and body have all the chemicals and building blocks required for optimal functioning. It is a critical component of recovery from substance misuse, as it addresses the nutritional and biochemical imbalances caused by addiction; clients almost always notice a reduction in cravings.

To support your recovery holistically, we purposefully integrate body-based therapies into your treatment programme—individually tailored to your needs.

Whether physiotherapy, yoga, Pilates, equine or canine therapy, therapeutic massage, or other modalities, these treatments help release tension, promote inner calm, and restore your connection to your body and physical sensations.

In doing so, they strengthen not only your physical balance but also nourish your emotional stability from within.

Our interdisciplinary team of dietitians and psycho-nutrition specialists develops a personalised nutrition plan designed to restore your physical and mental balance. This includes targeted correction of deficiencies that may have developed through addiction or prolonged stress.

Beyond nutrition, we also support you with essential lifestyle adjustments—such as stress management, improving sleep quality, and addressing other factors that influence your overall well-being.

Healthy, scientifically grounded, and individually tailored nutrition thus becomes the foundation of sustainable healing.

The close connection between body and mind lies at the heart of our holistic approach to health, longevity, and well-being. For this reason, every treatment programme includes carefully selected wellness therapies that gently support your recovery.

From massage therapies and breathwork to additional therapeutic applications, these treatments promote relaxation, inner balance, and renewed vitality.

As part of your programme, you also receive exclusive access to the award-winning Dolder Grand Spa—a place of tranquillity, renewal, and deep regeneration.

Addiction often affects more than the mind—the body, too, is frequently impacted. For this reason, your treatment addresses not only the addiction itself but also any additional medical conditions you may be experiencing.

Whether chronic pain, cardiovascular conditions, hormonal imbalances, sexual health concerns, or dental and dermatological issues, our specialist physicians investigate every symptom thoroughly and treat it with precision.

In this way, we create the physical foundation for lasting recovery.
