Conditions We Treat
Clinic Les Alpes is fully licensed by the Swiss Department of Health, and our counsellors and medical team are dedicated to compassionately, expertly and holistically treating a multitude of behavioural and substance addictions as well as other mental health issues.
As a luxury rehab for NYC residents, many patients come to us experiencing varying levels of burnout and exhaustion from their busy, over-stimulating lives and environment. We provide patients with the support and systems needed to create and maintain more balanced and joyful lives.
Emotional well-being is essential to everyone’s health and quality of life. Our counsellors create customized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique history to create the foundational support needed for a true sense of well-being.
Anxiety and depression affect many, whether or not they struggle with other conditions such as substance abuse. Our licensed and experienced staff draw from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), art therapy, horse-assisted therapy and other holistic practices to treat each patient according to their specific needs.
Behavioural addiction can be just as disruptive to a person’s life and as difficult to overcome as substance abuse. Clinic Les Alpes’ staff provides judgment-free treatment of gambling, porn, sex, food, shopping dependency, as well as other behavioural addictions.
Clinic Les Alpes provides on-site detoxification, daily one-on-one counselling, holistic treatments and much more to help patients overcome addiction to substances including alcohol, opiates, prescription drugs, stimulants and more.
Most often, substance or behavioural addictions don’t affect an individual’s system or life in isolation. Our licensed staff creates tailored treatments to address every behavioural or mental health disorder affecting a patient.

After this, our staff and the prospective patient work together to decide the best plan and timing for admission.
The clinic ensures all patients receive the most effective, personalised care we can provide by requiring each patient to agree to a minimum of four weeks. However, the length of time is tailored to each patient’s wishes and needs.
