Addiction Treatment Center

We can only tailor a programme to you if we know where the pain lies. Using our 360-interdisciplinary approach, your team will identify every possible area of your health and well-being requiring attention and re-balancing. This forms the bedrock of your treatment programme.

Addictions are rooted as much in our bodies as our minds. From 24-hour ECG monitoring and HRV testing to stress echocardiography and full-body MRIs, our advanced diagnostics tools will identify each possible area of your health and well-being that requires re-balancing. By taking a functional medicine approach to diagnostics, we are able to pinpoint any issues that are present such as inflammation, gut imbalances, toxin exposure, nutritional deficiencies, parasites, or heavy metal accumulation.

You will work in one-on-one daily sessions with both a dedicated psychotherapist and a psychologist. Your psychotherapist will help you articulate the underlying traumas, thinking patterns, and stressors that have contributed to your addiction. Your psychologist will assist you in creating sustainable coping mechanisms.

Working with a live-in therapist means that therapy can happen as and when needed rather than waiting for the designated therapy slot to come around. We find that the most effective therapy happens in the moments between official therapy sessions and when symptoms are particularly pronounced, like when making a mid-morning coffee or at 3 am.

Working in conjunction with your psychotherapists, your psychiatrist will oversee your programme, ensuring that your mental well-being is carefully looked after. Our psychiatrists take a precision psychiatry approach, designing your treatment based on your unique biological and psychological profile. You will also work one-on-one with your psychiatrist to address the emotional issues, traumas and any co-occurring conditions that might be contributing to the mental health issues. If deemed necessary, they can provide other mental health diagnoses and/or prescribe medication.

At HARP Private Rehab, we are passionate supporters of the psychedelic revolution in mental health and addiction treatment. In some cases, we can provide ketamine-assisted psychotherapy to support your recovery, which we will gladly do when appropriate.

Biochemical restoration is a branch of functional medicine that aims to ensure that a person’s mind and body have all of the chemicals and building blocks required to function optimally. It is crucial for substance abuse recovery because it addresses the nutritional and biochemical imbalances caused by addiction; clients almost always notice a reduction in their cravings.

We integrate tailored physical therapies into your programme to support holistic healing and recovery. These therapies, including physiotherapy, yoga, pilates, equine therapy, dog therapy, and massage (amongst many others), are designed to alleviate tension, foster a deeper sense of connection with yourself, and restore your body’s natural balance.

Our psycho-nutrition and dietitian team will create personalised nutrition plans to restore your physical and mental balance, addressing each and every deficiency caused by the addiction. Alongside tailored dietary guidance, our team will support you in creating numerous lifestyle adjustments such as stress management, improving sleep hygiene, and any other issue that is heightening your stress levels.

The mind-body connection lies at the heart of our holistic approach to health, longevity and well-being. Each treatment programme will include wellness treatments that we believe will help you in your recovery journey. Access to the Dolder Grand Spa is also included in each of our addiction treatment programmes.

Alongside treating your addiction(s), we address any other physical medical issues you may have. No matter the issues you are facing, such as pain, cardiovascular, hormonal, sexual health, dental, or skin, to give just some examples, they will be diagnosed and addressed by our specialist doctors.
