Neoviva

Welcome to NEOVIVA
Born from my personal journey of overcoming addiction for over 35 years, NEOVIVA stands as
a beacon of new beginnings and a vibrant life. Our name itself – “neo” for new and “viva” for life – mirrors our commitment to change lives.
With firsthand experience in recovery, I’ve dedicated years to researching best practices and refining
our treatment approach. It blends evidence-based methods with a deeply personal touch that acknowledges everyone’s unique journey.
Every day, we are inspired and motivated by the stories of those we help – their struggles, resilience, hope, and successes. Witnessing these trans- formations not only validates the effectiveness of our programmes but also fuels our commitment
to supporting your recovery.
It would be our privilege to accompany you on your journey towards a new life.

Making a difference in addiction treatment
With our fully integrated NEOVIVA model of care,
we are setting new standards in addiction treatment.
At our core, we blend scientific expertise with real-world experience. From our leadership team, all holding advanced degrees in psychology or psychiatry, to every single staff member, we focus all our efforts on the benefit of our clients, guided by the principle of unconditional positive regard. We understand recovery as a long-term process and support our clients for as long as they need.
We proudly offer Switzerland’s only specialised, international group-based therapy setting, capitalising on the effectiveness of group dynamics in addiction treatment. Blended with experiential therapies
and multiple 1:1 sessions per week, our approach is deeply personal and profoundly effective.

Swiss licensed, globally trusted
Our clinic holds full accreditation from the Swiss Health Board as a medical institution, ensuring adherence to Switzerland’s rigorous medical and clinical standards, including unmatched confidentiality and data protection.
Every aspect of your treatment is crafted with Swiss excellence and high quality standards. Our international team of professionals, each licensed individually, provides unparalleled care and is regularly trained to meet the highest medical and clinical standards.
Choosing NEOVIVA means embracing a sanctuary where trust and quality are the foundation of everything we do.

Addiction, misuse, overuse or other compulsive behaviours
Behaviours labelled as “addiction” or “misuse” signal deeper struggles. When substance abuse or unhealthy behaviours disrupt your life and become unmanageable, it is a sign that professional help is needed. Some examples of what we can help with:
– Alcohol abuse
– Drug addiction
– Gambling issues
– Internet and gaming overuse – Compulsive sexual behaviour – Food-related issues
These challenges are multifaceted, affecting individuals health, relationships, and ability to function, often signaling deeper, complex issues.

Addressing the underlying causes of addiction
Visible signs of addiction and compulsive behaviour are often manifestations of deeper mental health issues. Our treatment goes beyond symptom management by addressing underlying problems, such as:
– Emotional trauma, PTSD and unresolved grief
– Mood disorders such as anxiety and depression – Psychiatric disorders
– Chronic stress and the inability to manage it
effectively
– Social pressures and environmental factors that
encourage addictive behaviours
– Biochemical imbalances linked to changes in mood
and behaviour
Our dedicated team of specialists employ a variety of therapeutic modalities to address these foundational problems.

An innovative blend
Grounded in the latest research and decades of experience, the NEOVIVA approach is about growth and connection. Our unique blend of therapeutic methods integrates mind and body, featuring group therapy, individual psychotherapeutic sessions, experiential therapy such as Shinrin-Yoku or equine therapy, peer counselling, and body-centred activities.
To enhance these methods, we utilise advanced technologies such as rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) and tDCS (transcranial
direct current stimulation) to effectively alleviate cravings or depression. These innovative techniques are constantly monitored by medical, physical
and psychological evaluations and interventions, ensuring that each treatment plan is perfectly tailored to meet your personal needs.

We are NEOVIVA
Our diverse and culturally sensitive team unites with a singular mission: treating addiction with unmatched expertise and a deeply personal touch.
Our team’s strength lies in our interdisciplinary collaboration. We operate seamlessly within and across departments to provide comprehensive, integrated care. This approach respects and incorporates cultural backgrounds and personal values, ensuring that our care is as inclusive as it is effective.
With us, you are not just a client; you are part of
a community. Believing in the transformative power
of connections, we strive to transform your life, leading you towards vitality, hope, and lasting change.

We love animals – bring your pet
We understand that pets are more than just animals – they are family. That’s why we invite you to bring your pet along on your journey to recovery. Having your pet by your side can provide comfort, reduce stress, and increase feelings of companionship and support during your treatment.
At NEOVIVA, our own dogs and donkeys have brought immense comfort to many clients, adding to the welcoming and supportive atmosphere. Recovery with us means creating a space where every aspect of one’s well-being is acknowledged, including the joy and peace pets bring into our lives.

A clinic in a hotel – for best results
Our approach to recovery is grounded in the real world. Located within a fully operational hotel, our facility breaks the mould of traditional therapy settings by integrating everyday life experiences. This unique environment not only prevents isolation from society but also engages you actively in your recovery.
Our real-life setting allows clients to face daily challenges within a safe and supportive framework. By navigating everyday situations under guidance, they develop practical skills and strategies essential for their return home. We achieve all this while also rigorously upholding the highest standards of confidentiality and discretion, ensuring your privacy is protected throughout your stay.

Designed for
comfort and successful recovery
Our clinic offers breathtaking panoramas, capturing the serene beauty of mountains, lush meadows, dense woodlands, and the shimmering water of Lake Lucerne. Our suites are designed to make your stay feel like home, prioritising comfort and privacy with high-end amenities and a timeless design that evokes the refined ambience of an upscale retreat rather
than a medical facility.
For those needing to stay connected to work responsibilities, each suite includes a dedicated workspace, ensuring you can manage your duties without compromising your recovery process.
