On the detox department, clients are admitted when outpatient detoxification is not possible. The admission lasts an average of five to ten days. Clients are supervised 24 hours a day. Most clients struggle with alcohol or GHB addiction, often in combination with psychiatric problems.

The department has 27 beds, divided into three groups, and has an expert team of over 30 nurses and medical specialists. Together, you take the first steps toward recovery.

Working at the Clinical Treatment Department
The department has 15 treatment beds and also offers day treatment to 16 clients.

Clients stay in the clinic for an average of seven weeks and follow an intensive treatment program focused on relapse prevention and skill development according to the Liberman module. After this period, they can transition to day treatment. Entry into day treatment is also possible without a prior clinical stay.
