Therapiestation Erlenhof

Set atop spacious hills north of Prambachkirchen, Therapiestation Erlenhof's 22-bed center treats individuals with alcohol and drug addiction holistically, with medication management, animal therapies, family involvement, occupational therapy, and introduction to 12-Step Facilitation groups like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA). They allow children onsite and involve parents and partners in family therapy. They also provide therapy for the children. Their therapy addresses self-centeredness, apathy, and dishonesty behind addictions. A staff of 9 power the operations, including their social workers, a group therapist, and a psychiatrist. Some of the onsite animals are horses, cows, and geese.

Adventure excursions off the property include water activities like rafting and hiking through the lush pastures and forests.

Admission

Therapiestation Erlenhof's program admits clients by phone or email. It's open to clients with court orders for treatment. The court system should arrange the payment method prior to treatment.

Program Details

Therapiestation Erlenhof uses a 5-phase approach to treatment that includes self-discovery, skill training, relapse prevention, understanding, and adapting to a sober life. At each phase, they allow more freedom. The phase of adapting to a sober life involves working offsite. For most clients, they use a 15-month abstinence-based schedule, but they can offer a 30-month harm reduction-based approach depending on the client's needs.

Where to Detox?

Erlenhof doesn't offer detox, but they can recommend nearby detox treatment centers like the Kepler University Hospital Neuromed Campus.
