Treatment Programmes
Our intensive seven-day executive detox programme restores your health following a period of excessive alcohol, drug or medication use.
A medically safe detoxification, cutting-edge treatments and numerous complementary therapies will make a detox more tolerable, safeguard your longevity and ensure you feel restored.
Your Programme
It is nothing groundbreaking to say that excessive consumption of alcohol, drugs or medication negatively impacts our physical and psychological health. However, we also understand that many people who abuse substances are either not yet ready to stop or are not in a position to take a month or more out of their lives for a full treatment programme. Instead of allowing these realities to stop you from looking after your health, we created the executive detox programme.
Once you arrive at our detox rehab facilities, we conduct a comprehensive assessment procedure to determine the exact levels of damage you are facing, paying special attention to your inflammatory, biochemical and neurochemical health markers. Guided by medical excellence, your team will create a seven-day executive detox programme based on the results of these medical tests.
Paracelsus Recovery was the first rehabilitation clinic in the world to introduce functional medicine and interdisciplinary modalities into our treatment programmes, doing justice to the complexity and interconnectedness of physical and mental health.
Each treatment is carefully chosen to address those imbalances identified during the assessment procedure. Typically, these will include functional medicine treatments, IV infusions, a medically assisted withdrawal procedure, psychotherapeutic assistance and complementary therapies and treatments.
Our team is made up of world-renowned doctors, therapists and specialists, including a Nobel Prize-winning advisory-board member. A 15-person team will be dedicated to you and by your side throughout your stay with us. Team members include a psychiatrist, psychotherapist, medical doctor, functional medicine doctor, clinical nurse coordinator, and client relation team. A 24h live-in therapist will also be present at all times to provide support.
Biochemical restoration is integral to our executive detox programme. It involves rebalancing our biochemical health so as to restore cellular longevity and enhance our overall well-being. Once these imbalances have been restored, you will see a marked reduction in your withdrawal symptoms and a marked increase in vitality and energy.

Defining success in mental health and addiction treatment isn’t straightforward because it looks different for everyone. For one person, success might mean complete sobriety, while for another, it could mean drinking significantly less and feeling more in control. In mental health, it could be the difference between daily panic attacks and just one a year, or simply feeling more stable and resilient in everyday life.
At Paracelsus Recovery, we focus on what success means for you. Rather than relying on generic statistics, we prioritise lasting, meaningful change; helping you build a healthier, more fulfilling life in a way that feels right for you. Through personalised care and ongoing support, we work to ensure that the improvements you make during treatment continue long after you leave.
There are no silly or unnecessary questions when it comes to figuring out if our treatment programmes are the right fit for you. So, if you have questions that are not covered here, please reach out. Our client relations team are available 24/7 for a confidential, obligation-free conversation.
