行動依存症に対する滞在型治療とリハビリ

Behavioral addictions describe the compulsive and uncontrolled act of engaging in an activity, i.e. an addiction to a certain activity. The symptoms, underlying issues, potential harm, and problems resulting from behavioral addictions are often very similar to substance-related addictions. Treatment requires a similarly comprehensive approach.

The most common symptoms include unsuccessful attempts at quitting, a loss of control over how frequently you engage in the behavior and how much risk you take, engaging in the activity even though you obtain no pleasure from it, and the development of specific triggers.

Yes, we treat all behavioral addictions with an intensive, holistic program provided by our multidisciplinary team in both London and Zurich. Behavioral addiction treatment includes in-depth psychiatric and psychological support, extensive biochemical and neurochemical restoration, gut health, and nutritional supplementation.

At Paracelsus Recovery, we adopt a harm-reduction approach to addiction which means we do not advocate lifelong abstinence. If abstinence is not an option, we focus on how to recreate a healthy relationship with the behavior. We strive to help you find moderation, boundaries, and peace on all levels - biological, psychological, and physical. Our aim is to provide you with the emotional tools required to face life’s stressors and emotional challenges without that dependency on the behavior for happiness, pain relief, or as a shield from these difficult situations.

It depends on the specific addiction. For example, a gambling or shopping addiction could lead to vast economic loss, a sex addiction could lead to destroyed relationships, and exercise addiction may lead to physical issues. In all cases, process addiction will introduce a great deal of stress, fear, and pain into the individual’s life, resulting in the worsening of their physical and psychological health.
