About NEOVIVA
NEOVIVA is an ultra private, boutique rehab clinic situated on the world-famous Lake Lucerne in Switzerland. The hotel’s location is often referred to as “The Riviera of Central Switzerland,” with sweeping mountain views of nature's natural beauty. Their unique location within a private section of a public hotel plays an important role in the recovery process. This setting is deliberately chosen to mirror real-world environments, where clients dealing with mental health challenges, such as substance abuse, regularly face triggers such as social gatherings and interactions.
With a 1:3 client-to-staff ratio and a maximum of 5 clients at a time, guests of NEOVIVA receive high-quality, personalized treatment plans catered to their individual needs. NEOVIVA's signature program spans a minimum duration of 4 weeks, allowing clients to fully engage in an extensive array of therapy and treatment modalities. The Program addresses the underlying cause of the addiction with a combination of group therapy, 1-on-1 counseling, and somatic therapy. Methods like rTMS to ease cravings and treat depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. Their carefully balanced program also incorporates wellness such as yoga and breathwork to promote mindfulness and nervous system regulation.
NEOVIVA also offers a specialized executive program for executives with high-profile careers or self-employed professionals who might feel uneasy about leaving their business behind for any length of time. NEOVIVA provides ample office space to allow work and healing to flow simultaneously. Clients may access their personal devices (phones, laptops, and tablets) during free hours. Clients can also enjoy leisure time to take full advantage of the beautiful surroundings and activities Lake Lucerne has to offer. Dogs are allowed and welcomed at NEOVIVA, as they recognize the impact pets have on mental wellbeing and happiness–especially during recovery.
NEOVIVA provides treatment in many languages, including French, Japanese, Bengali, Russian, English, German, and Afrikaans.
All rooms at NEOVIVA are private, featuring timeless designs with panoramic views of stunning Lake Lucerne and picturesque mountains. Transportation is provided through chauffeur services as well as gourmet prepared meals. The hotel's services, which include a restaurant, an outdoor hot tub and swimming pool, plus an indoor and outdoor sauna, are available to NEOVIVA guests. This unique configuration allows clients to experience a touch of the outside world, even during their stay at NEOVIVA. And with continuing care programs, life after treatment becomes an accessible stepping stone rather than a feared change.
