Acquisition International - Issue 3 2019 43 Based in Switzerland, Paracelsus is the world’s most exclusive addiction treatment provider. Recently awarded the title of Best Luxury Addiction Treatment & Rehabilitation Centre 2018 – Switzerland in the Global Excellence Awards, we find out more about what makes it so unique and so successful. Company: Paracelsus Recovery Restoration of the Mind, Body and Soul aracelsus Recovery was founded in its current form in 2012 as a family business. However, the team has a long history of experience in providing private addiction treatment to international clients. Over the years, the clinic has refined its treatment approach and program and has brought addiction treatment to a whole new level. Today, Paracelsus Recovery is the world’s most exclusive addiction treatment institution but at the same time it provides the individual care and empathy of a passionate family business. While addiction or “addictive behaviour” is ultimately a complex brain disease, the underlying reasons or “triggers” for addictions need to be addressed and treated if recovery from addiction is to be sustainable. Treating only one client at a time At Paracelsus, the international team of highly qualified therapists, doctors, nurses, counsellors and other professionals focus on the recovery of only one client at a time. It is very private. While most other addiction treatment programmes in the world include a lot of group therapy and idle time during in-patient treatment, the team at Paracelsus works with clients eight to twelve hours a day, not weekly or monthly as is the case with most other addiction therapy providers. Bio-chemical restoration is key Paracelsus stands out from the competition as it has recognised the importance of a balanced bio-chemistry of the brain and body for recovery from addiction. The clinic and its treatment programmes do not only address and treat the addiction itself, they also identify and treat the underlying reasons for the addiction. Thus treating the entire person; body, mind and soul. Discreet and exclusive addiction treatment paired with a five-star service level While Paracelsus provides the most advanced and exclusive addiction treatment programme available today, it also provides an unparalleled high-end all-round service during the treatment programme, far beyond what other “luxury rehabs” can offer.
