NEOVIVA is a private residential treatment clinic located in an area often referred to as the “Riviera of Central Switzerland,” overlooking Lake Lucerne. Established in 2022, the clinic provides residential care for alcohol use, drug and prescription drug dependence, and behavioural addictions. Treatment is delivered in a discreet Swiss setting designed for individuals seeking focused support for addiction and mental health challenges.
Treatment Approach
NEOVIVA offers exclusive private care for addiction and mental health treatment within a residential model. Medical detox is available onsite when required, allowing clients to remain within the same care environment throughout early treatment stages. Residential programmes typically begin at six weeks and may be extended depending on clinical needs and treatment objectives.
The treatment philosophy centres on personal, client-focused care delivered in a real-life residential setting. Clinical planning prioritises individual responsibility, therapeutic connection, and an abstinence-based framework. Treatment pathways are adapted to each client, with ongoing clinical input guiding progression through the programme.
Therapy and Clinical Support
Clinical care at NEOVIVA combines psychiatric, psychotherapeutic, and medically informed interventions. Clients receive structured psychiatric and psychotherapeutic sessions supported by comprehensive medical testing, allowing treatment to reflect both psychological and physical considerations.
Therapeutic methods include group therapy, recovery coaching, non-invasive brain stimulation therapy, and body-centred activities. Animal-assisted therapy and complementary approaches are incorporated where appropriate, supporting emotional regulation and engagement in treatment. Mental health support addresses conditions such as depression, anxiety, and trauma, recognising the close interaction between addiction and psychological wellbeing.
Programmes and Services
NEOVIVA provides a selection of residential and extended care programmes, including:
- Signature Programme

A structured family programme is also available, with therapy sessions coordinated by experienced professionals. Family work may involve individual and group sessions, with or without the client, depending on clinical suitability.
Accommodation and Environment
The clinic is uniquely situated within an upscale hotel on the southern slopes of a mountain overlooking Lake Lucerne. This setting combines residential privacy with access to hotel-level comfort and services.
Accommodation consists of private en-suite lakeview rooms designed for rest and discretion. Many rooms include balconies, air conditioning, non-alcoholic minibars, tea and coffee facilities, and optional private office space. Communal areas include a panoramic restaurant and terrace, supporting a structured daily routine around treatment, meals, and rest.
Outdoor and wellness facilities include access to a wellness park with a swimming pool, heated outdoor whirlpool, Finnish sauna, and bio sauna. The surrounding lakeside and mountain environment forms part of daily routines through guided walks and restorative downtime.
Aftercare and Ongoing Support
After residential treatment, clients may continue with a bespoke aftercare plan adapted to lifestyle and ongoing needs. Options include remote therapy sessions, on-site refresher programmes, and continued clinical contact following discharge.
Former clients also have access to a daily online Continuing Care group at no cost, providing structured peer and professional support. Aftercare may be delivered through online, in-person, or hybrid formats, with external referrals arranged when longer-term support outside the clinic is appropriate.
