The Balance Rehab Clinic Zurich is a treatment centre located in Zürich, Switzerland, offering both residential and outpatient care. Established in 2018, the clinic supports individuals affected by alcohol use, drug and prescription drug dependence, behavioural addictions, and dual diagnosis conditions. Services are designed for clients seeking discreet, structured care for both mental health and addiction-related concerns.
Treatment Approach
The Balance Rehab Clinic Zurich follows a model centred on continuity of care across residential treatment, secondary treatment, and outpatient services. Treatment pathways are structured to support progression between care levels, allowing therapeutic work to continue as needs change over time. Programme length typically ranges from four to eight weeks, depending on clinical presentation and treatment goals.
Clinical planning focuses on personalised care delivered through clearly defined treatment stages. Residential treatment provides a stabilised environment, while secondary and outpatient options support ongoing therapeutic engagement. Refresher programmes are available for individuals returning to care following earlier treatment, allowing continuity without restarting the full residential process.
Therapy and Clinical Support
Clinical support combines psychotherapy, behavioural therapy, and complementary approaches delivered through individual and group formats. Therapeutic methods include EMDR, neurofeedback, polyvagal-informed work, somatic experiencing, and evidence-based psychotherapy. Couples and marriage therapy is available where relational dynamics form part of the clinical picture.
Additional modalities include equine therapy and neuromodulation techniques such as tDCS and TMS, integrated when clinically appropriate. Psychiatric oversight is available for clients presenting with co-occurring mental health conditions. Treatment addresses anxiety, depression, PTSD, burnout, ADHD, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, autism spectrum conditions, anger regulation, grief, self-esteem challenges, sleep-related difficulties, and codependency.
Programmes and Services
The Balance Rehab Clinic Zurich provides a focused range of treatment services, including:
- Residential Treatment
- Assessment
- Aftercare
- Intensive Outpatient Programme
A structured secondary programme is also available, allowing clients to reside in a shared setting while accessing outpatient therapy as needed. This stage supports consolidation of therapeutic skills developed during residential care.
Accommodation and Environment
The clinic’s Zurich hub is located on the shores of Lake Zurich, surrounded by alpine scenery and close to the city’s cultural and professional infrastructure. Residential accommodation is arranged to support privacy, comfort, and therapeutic focus throughout treatment.
Living spaces are designed to balance structure with personal space, supporting rest, therapy sessions, and reflection. Communal and wellness areas allow engagement outside scheduled sessions, while the lakeside and alpine surroundings form part of the daily routine through guided walks and restorative outdoor time.
Aftercare and Ongoing Support
After completion of residential or intensive outpatient treatment, clients may continue with an individualised aftercare plan. Ongoing support is adapted to each client’s circumstances and may include outpatient therapy, remote clinical sessions, or structured follow-up care.
Aftercare services are designed to support continued therapeutic engagement while reintegrating into daily life. Support can be delivered in online, in-person, or hybrid formats, with external referrals coordinated when longer-term care outside the clinic is required.
