Paracelsus Recovery is a rehabilitation and mental health treatment facility based in Zürich, Switzerland.[1][2] It has been described as one of the most expensive rehabilitation centers in the world.[3][4]
History
[edit]Paracelsus Recovery was founded in 2012 by Jan Gerber and his family.[5][6] Gerber had previously co-founded another Swiss rehabilitation center, the Kusnacht Practice, in 2011.[7] Initially self-funded, Paracelsus Recovery focused on providing discreet services internationally. It is named after a 16th-century Swiss physician, Paracelsus.[7]
By 2018, Paracelsus Recovery had expanded its operations to include services in London.[5]
Treatment
[edit]Paracelsus Recovery utilizes a one-person-at-a-time model.[5][7] Each person is treated individually with privacy.[8] Treatment programs are customized for each individual and typically last four to eight weeks.[5][9] Upon admission, a person undergoes extensive medical and psychiatric evaluations.[10] Treatment plans integrate psychotherapy, psychiatric care, detoxification, and nutritional therapy. The clinic treats conditions such as addiction, depression, anxiety, and burnout at its Zürich facility or at off-site locations.[11]
Facilities
[edit]Paracelsus Recovery operates from three apartments and an adjacent clinic on Lake Zurich.[4] Previously, it also operated a facility in London.[12]
