Paracelsus Recovery

Spear’s Review

Founded by the Gerbers – the family who established The Kusnacht Practice and pioneered the 360-degree, one-client-at-a-time model – in 2012, Paracelsus Recovery brings together experts in medicine, psychiatry, nutrition and fitness to provide a holistic and individualised approach to rehabilitation.

Paracelsus has earned a reputation as one of ‘the world’s most exclusive addiction treatment centres’, with a 15:1 expert-to-patient ratio and a capacity of around three or four clients at its treatment centre in Zurich. ‘What sets us apart from similar offerings is that we are [also] a fully-fledged psychiatry clinic,’ says Jan Gerber, the centre’s CEO. This means that they can treat mental health conditions as well as addiction problems, including ‘cluster A’ personality disorders such as bipolar and schizoaffective disorder.

Paracelsus creates a comfortable and welcoming environment for clients, and believes that a sense of safety is the foundation of successful recovery. It is no surprise, then, that billionaires and high-profile individuals alike have sought its warm embrace.
