Paracelsus Recovery pioneered the one-client-at-a-time rehabilitation method and is one of the most comprehensive treatment centres in the world. The clinic was founded in 2012 as a sanctuary for high-net-worth individuals and people of public life who require comprehensive and effective treatment in a discrete and private environment. Their work has appeared in countless media articles, ranging fromThe GuardiantoThe Financial Times,The Sunday Times,Forbes,The Telegraph,The Daily Mail, andYahoo! Finance, amongst many others.
Paracelsus Recovery specialises in treating substance abuse dependencies, eating disorders, mental health, chronic conditions, and providing preventative health measures. Using cutting-edge therapies and medical expertise, they are unique in their emphasis on the biomolecular restoration of the brain and body. They only ever treat one client at a time, which means clients will work with a team of over 15 world-leading medical experts focused exclusively on each client and their needs. Their team includes global experts and Nobel Prize winners. Paracelsus Recovery recognises that often substance abuse is a subconscious coping strategy for managing difficult emotions, experiences, traumatic events, and real-life stressors. As such, treating dual-diagnosis and co-occurring conditions is vital to each treatment programme (where applicable). Their in-house psychiatrist will determine if there are any co-occurring conditions, and the treatment programme will be designed to address each condition
In recent years, Paracelsus Recovery has expanded their services to provide comprehensive health check-up programmes and short-stay programmes, such as their seven-day executive detox. Their ‘classical’ plan—the four-week residential treatment programme—remains the most popular.
While their doctors care for each client’s health, their 5-star hospitality team takes care of their comfort. Services include:
•Clients are invited to stay in one of their exquisite penthouse apartments overlooking Lake Zurich during their stay. The penthouse has various rooms designated for therapy, spa treatments, or entertainment, and a fully equipped kitchen.
•A gourmet In-house chef will prepare an exquisite dining experience each evening with individual preferences considered for every dish.
•A private driver with a Bentley limousine is available for clinical appointments or any leisure activities clients choose during their stay.
•Unparalleled spa facilities at their hotel partner, The Dolder Grand, just a few minutes from the clinic.
•Complementary treatments such as massages, yoga, reflexology, acupuncture, and many others are also included.
Paracelsus Recovery’s greatest strength is its ‘one size does not fit all’ approach. They conduct an elaborate assessment procedure upon the client’s arrival, and the team will create a tailor-made programme to suit them. Paracelsus Recovery also adopts a harm-reductionist approach to addiction, can provide psychedelic-assisted treatment, and is a tech-friendly centre. They treat young adults, midlife adults, and older adults, welcoming clients of all ages. A live-in therapist is available for 24/7 emotional support and therapeutic assistance.
Paracelsus Recovery uniquely cares for ultra-high-net-worth and ultra-wealthy individuals, along with royalty, celebrities, politicians, and people of public life. They offer a 5-star environment because it aligns with their clients' accustomed standards. All employees operate under a strict code of conduct, with an equally strict communication policy. Guest's real names are redacted in company communications, the apartment's address is not publicised, the limo's number plates are untraceable, emails with clients are encrypted, and employees must sign a strict confidentiality contract. To best serve UHNW clientele, Paracelsus Recovery provides only 1:1 therapy and flexible technology policies to strike a balance between engaging in the programme and accommodating essential work commitments.
Paracelsus Recovery works collaboratively with each client to create an aftercare programme suited to their needs. This typically includes a therapist travelling home and staying with the client, regular contact with their treatment team and couples or family therapy. Plans may last a few weeks or several months.
