About Vogur Hospital SÁÁ
Vogur Hospital SÁÁ specializes in treating addiction as a complex but treatable disease. Most patients are admitted quickly, often within a few days, and receive round-the-clock medical and nursing care. The hospital provides medically supervised detoxification, daily doctor assessments, and a special ward for the most seriously ill patients.
Gender-Specific Psychosocial Therapy and Education
The hospital creates individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s gender, age, physical health, and mental health needs. Psychosocial therapies include gender-specific group sessions and daily educational programs. These sessions offer a safe environment for patients to discuss sensitive issues and build social connections, which are important for recovery and lasting well-being.
Building Foundations for Recovery and Reintegration
Treatment at Vogur Hospital lasts about 10 to 14 days on average. During this time, patients receive intensive nursing care, participate in group therapy, attend educational workshops, and have individual counseling. Men and women have separate housing areas and lounge spaces. The goal is to prepare each person for the next stages of rehabilitation, helping them rebuild their lives and reintegrate into society and work.
