What We Treat · Alcohol

A private alcohol detox, done properly

Stopping is not the treatment. Stopping safely, and staying stopped, is. Our detox is medically supervised from the first hour: a private residence on Lake Lugano, nursing presence day and night, a psychiatrist in clinical charge, and our own Swiss clinic for everything a body in withdrawal may need.

What safe means
  • A medical assessment before day one
  • Withdrawal managed by physicians
  • Nursing presence day and night
  • One person under care: you
What discretion means
  • A villa, not a ward
  • No group, no shared timetable
  • Staff bound to lifetime confidentiality
  • A record held in Switzerland
What comes after
  • The reasons, treated in psychotherapy
  • Medication where it protects you
  • A return home that is planned
  • Continuum: care that does not end

No one arrives here because of one drink too many. They arrive because stopping alone has stopped working.

First, safety

Alcohol withdrawal is a medical event, and we treat it as one. Before anything else, our clinic completes the picture: laboratory, cardiology, a psychiatric assessment, and the drinking and medication history no one has ever asked for in full. The detox itself is then conducted where you sleep, under continuous nursing care, with a physician deciding every step. Comfort matters. Safety decides.

Then, the part that changes things

A detox that ends at sobriety has not ended anything. What follows the first days is the real programme: psychotherapy one to one on the reasons drinking worked for you, treatment of what sits underneath it, sleep and health rebuilt, and a written plan for the first months at home. Clinical responsibility sits with Dr. med. Jonas Montagna, FMH specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy. One client, one record, Swiss medical secrecy.
