swiss hospitality at its finest
Stories of Recovery
Hospitality
Healing begins in an environment where you feel safe, comfortable, well looked after, and fully supported. From discreet luxury accommodation to personalised services and around-the-clock care, every aspect of your stay is designed to provide calm, privacy, and space to recover.
We make sure to provide the highest quality of care, comfort and hospitality. But it’s not because we are a ‘luxury rehab.’ Your environment has a profound impact on your state of mind. For this reason, every detail of your experience has been carefully considered, from the elegant style of your penthouse to your private chef, driver, complementary therapists and client relations team.
refined and Discrete accommodation
Space for healing in our exclusive Zurich rehab residences
Our penthouse residences, set on the serene shores of Lake Zurich, offer the perfect balance of privacy and luxury. Every detail, from personalised services to breathtaking views, is thoughtfully designed for your comfort.
Most treatments take place in your residence, ensuring discretion and ease. For therapies requiring specialised facilities, such as medical care or fitness sessions, a personal driver will take you to our clinic or dedicated spaces. All you need to do is arrive and we’ll take care of the rest.
unrivalled service
A dedicated team, just for you
Connection is often cited as the motor behind change, growth and healing. Not only will you work with 15+ leading medical experts, mental health professionals and complementary therapists, but you will also have a 5-person hospitality team focused exclusively on you and your needs.
Our in-house housekeeping team will ensure that your penthouse apartment is thoroughly cleaned daily. If you would prefer a cleaning service twice daily or every two days, then we will do that.
A private driver and a recent-model Bentley Flying Spur from our fleet will be assigned to you during your stay with us. They are available around the clock to bring you wherever you might need or like to go.
A private chef will create gourmet dining experiences for each of your daily meals. Highly trained in both gastronomy and psychonutrition, your chef will work closely with your nutrition team to ensure that each meal is exquisitely prepared, tailored to your unique nutritional needs, and aligned with your vitamin and mineral requirements. Every dish also takes into account any intolerances or specific medical conditions, ensuring both nourishment and indulgence.
Our client-relations team is there to help you organise trips, plan visits from loved ones, organise additional treatments or activities, manage work-related travel, and whatever other tasks you might need assistance with during your stay with us.
support when you need it most
Your wellness is our priority
Recovery is a journey and rarely an easy one. Making sure you feel as at ease as possible is crucial when it comes to restoring your health and facilitating your healing.
The Dolder Grand, our partner hotel, is heralded as one of the most renowned hotels in Europe and has repeatedly been awarded the prestigious ‘Best Spa in Europe’ award. Access to the Dolder Grand Spa is included in our treatment programmes, which is only a few minutes away from our clinic.
We understand the importance of family and professional commitments. We provide tailored support to help you maintain vital connections with loved ones while focusing on your recovery. Family members are encouraged to be as involved in your recovery as you see fit. We also provide family therapy or family psychoeducational sessions.
We can adapt your treatment programme to suit your work schedule. For instance, if you need to travel during your stay with us, we can organise for your team to fly with you. Private office spaces and secure communication options are also available.
The mind-body connection lies at the heart of our holistic approach to health, longevity and well-being. From daily massages and yoga practices to acupuncture, sound healing and breathwork, your treatment programme will include a number of wellness treatments that we believe will help you on your recovery journey.

Stories
Hear first-hand from those we have guided on their journey to recovery
“Extremely capable and understanding staff. Felt safe and at ease at all times, privacy is very respected. Highly professional.

“I am a Consultant Psychiatrist based in London. I have referred clients to Paracelsus Recovery and I am really impressed by the outstanding professionalism and empathy with which patients are treated. This is particularly true for patients with complex combinations of psychological and somatic/medical issues. I cannot think of a better- suited place in Europe for a comprehensive physical and psychiatric assessment. I particularly respect Paracelsus Recovery for adamantly speaking out against the payment of undeclared referral fees. This principled approach contrasts with the less ethical behaviour of other treatment centres, and ensures that referrals to Paracelsus are based solely on patient need and the best interests of their health.

“From the first contact, I had the feeling that my problem was important to them, and what’s more, they were convinced that they had enough knowledge to help me with it.”

“This is not an ordinary clinic and their family approach to business is felt in every detail. I recommend this clinic to anyone who can afford it.”
Lili Paukova
“Paracelsus Recovery is amazing. I have been to several “high-end” rehabs, but Paracelsus is another world. I was somewhat skeptical at first; treatment is very expensive and there is a big emphasis on their five star service level and luxury residences. But then I found their program for treating addictions being the probably most advanced and comprehensive in the world, so I decided to give it a shot. And did they deliver. The team is so kind and compassionate and they really seem to know their stuff. One does feel that one is the only client and that the place is owned and run by a family, not an institution. Thilo Beck, their psychiatrist is a gem, he is probably the first psychiatrist by whom I really felt understood. Dr. Riedel who is their person for biochemical restoration is probably the most knowledgeable doctor I’ve ever met. I can’t mention every person individually, but I felt all of them would stand out in their respective fields.
I also appreciated the flexibility in the treatment schedule to accommodate some need for private time and work.
Though I came there for treatment of an addiction, they took me to a dentist for a check and arranged other (unrelated) medical check-ups as part of their service, because they found that I had somewhat neglected my health and that this was necessary. That really impressed me, as no other rehab I’ve been to even mentioned that a medical check-up would be a good idea.
Thus overall a very positive experience, despite the hefty price tag, which I really did feel uneasy about at the beginning, also because they ask for full upfront payment.”
Sarah Milton
“My experience with the clinic was extremely positive and impactful. The team at the clinic helped me understand and improve both my physical and mental health, and prepared me to face various challenging situations in my life. The food was excellent, and the apartment was spacious, comfortable, and offered a beautiful view of Lake Zurich. It’s truly one of the best services in Switzerland.”
