About A-Klinikka Päihdesairaala
A-Klinikka Päihdesairaala treats people struggling with alcohol, drug, and medication addiction. They offer both detox and longer-term residential rehab. Their expert team provides medical care in a hospital-like setting, making it ideal for clients with complex needs or serious withdrawal risks. The calm environment and personalized care help clients begin recovery safely.
During detox, clients receive 24/7 medical supervision and support from nurses, doctors, and therapists. Therapies like group counseling, motivational interviewing (MI), and trauma care help ease the mental strain of withdrawal, while clinicians use medication to withdrawal symptoms and substance cravings when appropriate. Alcohol detox typically lasts 3 to 7 days, while drug withdrawal averages 14 days.
In residential care, clients build long-term skills for recovery through approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused care, peer support groups, and activities that strengthen daily routines. These help clients understand addiction, manage emotions, and build healthy habits. Treatment plans are personalized and often last several weeks.
A-Klinikka Päihdesairaala offers single rooms in a modern, accessible hospital near Leppävaara station. Clients receive daily meals and have access to shared spaces for relaxation and therapy. The facility supports those with mobility challenges and ensures hygiene by laundering clothes at admission, with laundry services available during treatment as well. Its convenient location and quiet setting make it easy to reach and ideal for focused recovery.
In addition to Päihdesairaala, A-Klinikka provides care at several other locations across Finland. These include outpatient clinics and rehabilitative inpatient centers that support long-term recovery. Services vary by location but may include substitution treatment, psychosocial support, and community-based rehabilitation. This wide network helps clients access flexible care at different stages of their recovery journey.
