THE KUSNACHT PRACTICE | WORLD’S LEADING EXCLUSIVE MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT CENTRE

Location: 

Ideally located in the peaceful Swiss town of Kusnacht, on Zurich’s privileged Gold Coast, The Kusnacht Practice is without a doubt the most exclusive private treatment centre in the world thanks to its specialisations and experienced clinical team.

Overview:

The Kusnacht Practice is the most luxurious mental health clinic in all of Europe. And to maintain its excellent reputation, the high-tech facility combines extensive medical expertise with an impeccable standard of care, confidentiality, and professionalism—all this in a luxurious living space among spellbinding Swiss scenery.

The residences

During their stay, patients live in a private, five-star villa that peers down upon the shimmering water of Lake Zurich—the perfect setting to promote happiness and well-being. Attractive artworks, plush furnishings, tasty cuisine, and spectacular views create a sense of sophistication and exclusivity, which allows patients to unwind and focus on their recovery.

Studies have demonstrated patients who commit to longer treatments are more likely to reap the benefits of prolonged results. The Kusnacht Practice incorporates these findings by recommending a six-weeks stay on average. Through an intensive tailor-made approach, the centre gives patients the coping strategies and resilience they need to conquer their condition, unlike other facilities that focus on a quick psychiatric fix. Treatments start at CHF103,000 per week.

The treatment

Industry-leading expertise and cutting edge equipment allow the Kusnacht Practice to effectively treat a variety of mental illnesses: anxiety, depression, burnout, sleeping disorders, stress, eating disorders, behavioural and substance dependency, and more. An in-house team of specialists performs an in-depth analysis of every patient before crafting a bespoke treatment plan, which may factor in metabolomics, epigenetics, neurochemistry, and trauma. And unlike its competitors, the Kusnacht Practice offers a large number of personalised therapeutic consultations for optimal efficacy; each patient receives eight one-on-one sessions per day.

A few of the evidence-based treatments on offer include:

• Psychotherapy
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
• Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
• Hypnotherapy
• Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)
• Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
• Biofeedback/Neurofeedback
• Intermittent Hypoxia Hyperoxia Therapy (IHHT)
• Biomolecular Restoration (Bio-®)

All programmes adopt a well-balanced, holistic approach designed to nourish the mind, body, and soul. Furthermore, complementary therapies incorporate personal interests and passions to enhance patient engagement.

The team

The Kusnacht Practice insists on employing the best mental health professionals from around the world to guarantee its patients receive the standard of treatment they deserve. The practice retains a specialist team of highly trained psychotherapists, nutritionists, doctors, psychologists, counsellors, and psychiatrists, each of whom boast extensive experience in their field.

The service

The Kusnacht Practice prides itself on providing personalised support for past, current, and future patients with a focus on professionalism and confidentiality. From the very first moment you contact the practice until the follow-up programmes of subsequent years, Kusnacht is synonymous with outstanding service. A skilled team of concierge, culinary, transportation, and administrative workers support the treatment process, catering to the patient’s every whim.

The aftercare programme

Treatment doesn’t stop upon check out—the Kusnacht Practice offers an on-going aftercare programme to promote long-term mental well-being. In subsequent months and years, Kusnacht’s team of continuing care coordinators will schedule intermittent online therapy sessions to connect patients with psychiatrists and psychotherapists. The facility also offers residential continuing care programmes for patients who would like to revisit the tools and strategies they developed in the initial treatment. If required, patients can request a Kusnacht specialist to visit their home and provide personalised support.
