Our Philosophy of Recovery
You want to leave addiction or mental health problems behind and finally move on. With the people who need you and whom you love. With all the joy and challenges of everyday life. And you know that without treatment it will be hard to find the road to recovery and follow it all the way back to your own – healthy – life. Still, somehow there never seems to be the right time to take the vital first step. To make a call. To ask for help.
Until you realise that the right time is always just right now.
Sober living – fulfilled life
At NEOVIVA, we know that taking your life back into your own hands is of the highest importance. We know that stepping onto the path to healing takes incredible courage and often hurtful self-reflection. That is why we are here for you not only to help you find your way back to life beyond addiction but to accompany you all the way.
How do we do that? By creating a treatment programme rooted in the NEOVIVA philosophy:
We believe in recovery for everyone
If you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms of substance use addiction or struggling with serious mental health disorders, then immediate action and support can be life-changing. NEOVIVA believes that everyone has the capacity for change and recovery. We will help you identify and treat the underlying causes of substance abuse, by guiding you towards the necessary changes in your life that build the foundation for long-term recovery. We understand recovery as an ongoing process of change through which you will improve your well-being, live a self-directed life according to your cultural values, strive for your full potential, and improve your overall quality of life.
We focus on personal, client-centred care
Just as everyone’s experience of addiction is different so are their routes to recovery. Our Signature Programme consists of high-intensity, group-based psychotherapy and individual treatment sessions which are personalised to your specific needs. From the preliminary consultations to extensive long-term continuing care, our team at NEOVIVA will support you in creating the optimal conditions to keep your recovery on track.
We believe in an abstinence approach
During addiction treatment at NEOVIVA, we require abstinence. Defined as complete cessation from substance abuse of any kind, the abstinence approach is considered the most effective way to treat addiction. Our specialised programme and experienced team will ensure that this process is as safe and manageable as possible. We are here to help you achieve and sustain abstinence as the foundation of your recovery. Whether you choose to live free from drugs or alcohol following treatment is your choice. Whatever you decide, we will be there to support you.
We treat you in a real-life setting
NEOVIVA is located in a private part of an operating hotel. Our clients enjoy the comfort of the hotel’s hospitality services as well as panoramic views over picturesque Lake Lucerne and the surrounding mountains. Our boutique clinic offers private ensuite rooms with a timeless and discrete design. During your stay you will not feel isolated from the world. We believe strongly in the importance of creating a real-life setting for your recovery that will best prepare you for the transition to home life.
