Clinic Les Alpes is a medically licensed rehabilitation clinic located in Montreux, Switzerland, offering both residential and outpatient care. The clinic provides personalised treatment for drug addiction, alcohol use, and behavioural addictions, alongside support for mental and emotional wellbeing. Care is delivered within a discreet luxury setting designed to support privacy, structure, and clinical focus.
Treatment Approach
Clinic Les Alpes operates as a high-quality detox and mental health clinic, with medical detox available onsite. Residential programmes typically range between 14 and 28 days, depending on clinical needs, with treatment plans adapted throughout the stay as progress and priorities evolve.
The clinical philosophy recognises the close relationship between mind, body, and emotional health. Treatment is not delivered through fixed or standardised protocols, but through carefully selected therapeutic methods chosen for their relevance to each individual. Care planning is collaborative, allowing clinical teams to adjust therapeutic direction as treatment progresses.
Therapy and Clinical Support
Therapeutic care includes comprehensive psychiatric support and advanced medical testing, allowing both physical and psychological needs to be addressed during treatment. Individual and group psychotherapy is delivered using a range of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT).
Additional therapeutic options include 12-Step–informed support, medicalised hypnosis, art and music therapy, equine therapy, and structured outdoor activities. Mental health care addresses anxiety, burnout, co-occurring disorders, depression, eating disorders, emotional wellbeing concerns, and perceptual disturbances, allowing integrated treatment where addiction and mental health intersect.

Clinic Les Alpes offers a structured range of specialised programmes, including:
- Addiction Programme
- Mental Health Programme

A dedicated family programme is also available, with six- or ten-day options that may include residential participation. This programme addresses the impact of addiction on family systems and supports relatives affected by co-occurring conditions.
Accommodation and Environment
The clinic is set within a historic alpine château featuring modern treatment facilities and landscaped grounds. Accommodation consists of private bedrooms designed to provide comfort, safety, and discretion throughout the treatment process.
Communal spaces include an à la carte restaurant, library, drawing room, study, and outdoor terrace. Wellness facilities include a spa, gym, yoga and Pilates room, infinity pool, and a serenity space carved into the mountain. Outdoor access and Alpine surroundings form part of the daily routine through guided activities and quiet reflection.
Aftercare and Ongoing Support
Following discharge, patients continue working with their lead therapist through a structured aftercare plan. Regular check-ins are provided for up to 12 months, supporting continuity of care after residential treatment.
Clinic Les Alpes maintains an international network of external professionals, allowing referrals and coordinated care across different locations. Prior to discharge, patients receive a follow-up health review to compare progress against initial assessments and support a structured transition into ongoing recovery and daily life.
