For over 15 years, Kusnacht Practice has cared for individuals from across the globe seeking uncompromisingly bespoke care for mental health and addiction. Within the seclusion and comfort of a five-star villa on the shores of Lake Zurich, they provide one client at a time with a clinically precise treatment plan that combines psychiatry, psychology, neuroscience, and internal medicine alongside Kusnacht’s own Biomolecular Restoration (BIO-R®) method.

Optimise Treatment with Advanced Diagnostics

Kusnacht Practice carefully crafts each client’s treatment from the ground up. Beginning with biochemical and neurochemical testing, plus psychiatric, social-chemical, nutrition, and lifestyle assessments, they identify the root causes of the client’s disorder. A custom-designed programme then integrates expertise ranging from psychiatry and somatic care to nutrition, fitness, and beyond. Treatment is further enhanced by Biomolecular Restoration (BIO-R®), which addresses deficiencies at the cellular and organ levels, significantly impacting psychological well-being.

Reside in a 5-Star Private Villa

Each client has their choice among 5-star residences around Lake Zurich, each featuring designer furnishings, magnificent views, and easy access to the Alps. The focused attention of a butler, gourmet chef, maid, and driver allows the client to fully disengage from daily worries and dedicate their energy to healing. With absolute privacy and meticulous attention to every detail—from culinary experiences to discreet service to serene living spaces—clients feel completely at home during their stay.

Receive Continuing Care at Home and Work

Kusnacht Practice’s continuing care programme bridges the transition to daily life, helping the client sustain the progress made and fully integrate their new health strategies. The team provides consistent, compassionate support that evolves with the client. This may include regular face-to-face meetings, audio or video check-ins, and even a mentor who returns home with the client to support re-engagement with home, family, work, school, and friends.

Testimonial
I was suffering badly from my bipolar and personality disorder and it was the cause of my marriage break up; but I was offered unconditional love and support at The Kusnacht Practice. I had tried other centers, but it was the therapy and aftercare from The Kusnacht Practice that enabled me to recover from my bipolar disorder.

Frequently Asked Questions

Further Research

Privacy and anonymity are among Kusnacht’s fundamental priorities. They treat clients individually, so no possibility exists for one client to meet another during their stay. Team members have proven experience dealing with high-profile clients, anonymised details, and liaising with a client’s medical, legal, or other representatives.

Programmes begin at CHF 117,300 per week. This includes all treatment costs, excluding travel, unrelated medical expenses, and continuing care. Kusnacht Practice does not work with insurance providers, but can offer a detailed quotation upon request. Swiss residents may qualify for partial reimbursement.

Since each client’s treatment plan is unique, the length of a client’s primary treatment and continuing care programme is an individual matter. Anticipate a medical examination of 1-7 days, followed by primary treatment of 6-12 weeks. Continuing care can last anywhere between a few days to 2 years.

Kusnacht Practice works with as many family members and significant others as are willing and able to participate. This inclusive approach benefits not only the identified client but also strengthens the entire family system, creating lasting positive change for everyone involved.
