At Paracelsus Recovery, we provide the most comprehensive and exclusive treatment programmes for all types of addiction.
We tailor-make each programme based on the client’s unique set of needs. To achieve this, we only ever treat one client at a time.
Addiction is common and current research shows that 1 in 3 people are addicted to something, be that alcohol, drugs, work, nicotine, food, shopping or gambling. Addiction is best defined as “no longer being in control over something you are taking, using or doing to the extent that it becomes harmful to you.”
We recognise that addiction never materialises without reason. There are an interrelated number of emotional, physical and social factors that contribute to the development of a substance abuse dependency and at Paracelsus Recovery we address each of these underlying factors.
Emotional/Psychological: Many psychological experiences such as undiagnosed mental health issues, trauma, burnout, etc., can lead to substance abuse dependencies. Processing trauma and addressing these psychological issues is crucial for mental health and addiction recovery. At Paracelsus Recovery, we provide extensive and specialised psychiatry, psychotherapy and psychoeducation in order to identify the underlying reason for the addiction.
Physical: Many addictions have a genetic or biological component unknown to the addicted person. Stress and our diets can also drastically increase our cravings for alcohol or substances. We provide numerous complementary therapies to manage stress levels and nutritional counselling to ensure an optimal diet. If a physical dependency is present, we will provide a medical detoxification procedure to address the withdrawal symptoms that arise.
Social: Our social environment can strongly influence our behaviours and levels of stress. For example, someone who works long hours may turn to stimulant drugs to be able to stay focused or to alcohol to help them “turn off” after work. In addition, if someone often goes out with friends who are using substances or to social events where those around them are drinking, then it may be hard to abstain due to pressure from friends or colleagues.
Biochemical Restoration: Biochemical restoration treatment aims to detox the whole being or ‘organism’ and repairs any damage done to the brain and body on a cellular level. By restoring the chemical balance, biochemical restoration will significantly improve cognitive skills, physical vitality and emotional stability and help to ensure a long-lasting recovery.
