Residential Rehab in a Luxury Environment
Recovering from an addiction to harmful substances or compulsive behaviours is difficult without ongoing support from trained professionals. Clinic Les Alpes offers personalised rehab Programs developed by some of the top counsellors and medical professionals in the world, ensuring every patient receives just the right combination of medications, behavioural therapies and complementary services. Our staff members understand how important it is to treat patients with compassion and empathy while delivering professional medical care in a luxury environment.
Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation in the Swiss Alps
Located in the heart of the Swiss Alps, Clinic Les Alpes offers a one-of-a-kind rehab experience for actors, models, executives and other high-profile patients who value their privacy and want to recover in a secluded environment far from the distractions of daily life. The clinic uses an integrated approach, meaning every Program is designed to meet the patient’s physical, emotional and spiritual needs. Only by addressing all three facets of life can a patient truly recover from compulsive behaviours like substance abuse, pornography, gambling and excessive shopping.
As a medical clinic licensed by the Swiss Department of Health, Clinic Les Alpes isn’t just a place to relax and get away from it all. The clinic must meet strict requirements regarding its facilities and staff members, ensuring every patient receives high-quality care in a residential environment. Clinic Les Alpes also has three staff members for every patient, making personalised attention a hallmark of our rehabilitation Programs.
Rehab Admissions Process
Before starting residential treatment, every patient undergoes a complete assessment to identify any physical or emotional problems that could affect their recovery. Patients also engage in private discussions with members of the medical team to determine how their psychiatric histories, personal medical histories and family histories may contribute to their compulsive behaviour. Using this information, medical professionals and counsellors work together to develop a rehab Program that’s completely customised to address the client’s needs.
Some patients choose to participate in drug and alcohol detoxification before starting residential rehab. Detoxification is the process of eliminating alcohol, opiates and other harmful substances from the body under the watchful eyes of experienced medical professionals. Every patient who participates in a detoxification Program at Clinic Les Alpes receives support in the form of medications, counselling and complementary therapies to ease withdrawal symptoms and make the process as comfortable as possible.
Residential Rehab Services
Because each patient receives a customised treatment plan, no two patients will participate in exactly the same combination of therapies. Depending on the patient’s needs, counsellors may recommend cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), hypnotherapy or psychoanalytically inspired psychotherapy. Family therapy is available to patients who have difficulty setting healthy boundaries or building positive relationships with their loved ones.
Clinic Les Alpes also offers art therapy, horse-assisted therapy and fellowship Programs to help patients express their emotions and discover their inner strengths. Art therapy is ideal for patients who struggle to express themselves in traditional therapy sessions as it offers a creative outlet for intense emotions. Horse-assisted therapy helps patients learn to manage their emotions and recognise that they can’t control how the people in their lives behave. Fellowship Programs offer ongoing support to patients who’ve completed residential rehab and are ready to continue their recovery at home.
Nutrition management is one of the most important aspects of the Programs offered at Clinic Les Alpes. Without the right nutrients, it’s difficult to focus intently and make good decisions at work and at home. Staff dietitians create a micronutritional profile for each patient, making it easier to determine if vitamin or mineral supplements would be an appropriate addition to the patient’s treatment plan. Clinic Les Alpes also has an executive chef on staff, ensuring every meal is visually appealing and full of flavour.
Connecting the Mind and Body
At Clinic Les Alpes, our integrated approach to residential treatment ensures every patient has access to a variety of therapies designed to strengthen the connection between the mind and the body. Massage therapy relieves stress and reduces physical pain, leaving patients able to focus on their recovery instead of their stress levels. Patients are encouraged to meditate regularly as meditation promotes sleep, makes it easier to concentrate on the present and induces a sense of deep relaxation that can be helpful for recovering from an addiction to substances or compulsive behaviours.
Clinic Les Alpes also offers acupuncture, foot reflexology and lymphatic drainage, among other complementary therapies. Acupuncture, particularly auriculotherapy, makes it easier to wean from toxic substances and reduce stress, while foot reflexology improves a person’s emotional state by stimulating specific areas of the foot. For patients participating in a detoxification Program, lymphatic drainage aids in detoxification by stimulating blood flow and strengthening the immune system.
