The Kusnacht Practice operates exclusive residential treatment centres in Zurich and Geneva, Switzerland. Established in 2011, the clinic provides private residential care for drug addiction, alcohol use, prescription drug dependency, and behavioural addictions. Treatment is delivered for international clients requiring discreet, highly structured psychological and medical support.
Treatment Approach
The Kusnacht Practice delivers residential treatment through an integrated psychiatric and medical care model. Medical detox is available onsite, allowing continuity between physical stabilisation and therapeutic care. Residential programmes typically last between one and three months, depending on clinical needs and treatment complexity.
Care is guided by a holistic framework that addresses mental, physical, and emotional health together. Psychiatric and psychotherapeutic treatment is combined with medical oversight and the BIO-R® longevity programmes. Treatment planning is personalised and adjusted throughout the stay, supported by ongoing clinical review and close medical supervision.
Therapy and Clinical Support
Therapeutic care includes a wide range of evidence-based and advanced interventions. Psychological therapies include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), family therapy, positive psychology, and structured psychotherapy. Group and individual formats are used according to clinical suitability and personal preference.
Advanced treatments may include biofeedback, neurofeedback, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), biomolecular restoration (BIO-R®), and intermittent hypoxia hyperoxia therapy (IHHT). Complementary approaches such as somatic experiencing, mindfulness-based work, hypnotherapy, and limbic chair sessions are incorporated where clinically appropriate. Mental health support addresses depression, trauma, burnout, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, chronic pain, codependency, eating disorders, and adolescent mental health needs.

Accommodation and Environment
Clients reside in private five-star villas overlooking Lake Zurich or within similarly discreet properties in Geneva. Each residence offers a calm and private environment designed to support focus and therapeutic engagement.
Accommodation includes private bedrooms designed for comfort and discretion. Communal areas support therapy sessions, dining, and relaxation, while wellness facilities and outdoor access allow integration of physical activity and reflective time into the daily routine. Concierge services and a live-in counsellor provide support while maintaining privacy throughout the stay.
Aftercare and Ongoing Support
After residential treatment, clients transition into a structured continuing care programme. This includes access to a mentor programme, regular audio or video contact, and scheduled face-to-face meetings with specialists during return visits to the treatment centre.
Support is tailored to individual circumstances and may involve coordination with external professionals in the client’s home country. Aftercare can be delivered through online, in-person, or hybrid formats, allowing continued clinical contact as clients reintegrate into daily life following residential care.
