About NEOVIVA
NEOVIVA is a sanctuary for personalised recovery, offering utmost discretion and a tailored path to well-being. With a maximum of 5 clients at a time, clients receive high-quality residential treatment for alcohol and drug addiction, behavioural addiction, and mental health disorders. Located in the enchanting area known as “The Riviera of Central Switzerland”, they provide everything clients need to find their way back to a healthier, happier life.
Rediscover a Vibrant Life through Advanced Treatment
At NEOVIVA, clients are guided beyond the initial addiction or mental health issues that brought them to treatment. Their therapy approach meets the deeper longing to feel truly understood, providing a safe space for clients to examine and embrace all parts of themselves. NEOVIVA’s programmes are carefully balanced to include evidence-based and advanced treatment methods, such as comprehensive medical testing, personalised psychotherapy sessions to address underlying issues, group sessions, and meaningful leisure activities. They also integrate noninvasive brain stimulation, body-centred practices such as yoga and mindfulness, and recovery coaching to promote holistic well-being and long-term success.
Experience a Well-Rounded Weekly Schedule
NEOVIVA’s multilingual team customises a weekly schedule that blends therapeutic modalities, psychiatric evaluations, and medical interventions. Each day begins with a healthy breakfast and somatic sessions, followed by a mix of therapies, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), and psychoeducational groups. Evenings may include fellowship meetings while weekends focus on outdoor activities and enjoying the serene Swiss scenery, with ample time for personal reflection and relaxation.
Recover in Lakeside Luxury
Uniquely located within an upscale hotel, NEOVIVA mirrors the everyday world to which clients will return, significantly enhancing the likelihood of lasting change. Each private lakeview ensuite room meets exceptional standards of comfort and relaxation. Most rooms come with a balcony with breathtaking views of Lake Lucerne. In addition to tea and coffee facilities, a non-alcoholic minibar, and air conditioning, some rooms also come with a private office. Nutrient-dense meals are enjoyed in the panoramic restaurant or on the terrace. To rejuvenate the body and soul, clients benefit from the hotel’s wellness park with a swimming pool, heated outdoor whirlpool, Finnish sauna, and bio sauna.
Integrate the “Paw-sitive” Energy of Pets
Spending time with animals can lower blood pressure, ease depression, reduce anxiety, and lessen stress. Animals’ non-judgmental companionship creates a strong bond that eases the journey and fills people with “paw-sitive” energy. Pet owners know it, science proves it, and at NEOVIVA, clients can benefit from it. Clients can incorporate animal-assisted therapy (AAT) into other evidence-based practices, or bring their own pet to NEOVIVA during treatment. Admissions staff are happy to consult with clients about having their pet accompany them, even across borders.
NEOVIVA provides treatment in many languages, including Japanese, Bengali, Russian, English, German, and Afrikaans.
