Our overall approach recognises and works with the continuous interplay between Mind, Body and Spirit in human experience.
You are not solely defined by the condition and circumstances that brought you to treatment, even if those have come to dominate your life.
If we (that is the staff and you in collaboration) only focus on one aspect of your person, life or condition, your recovery may well fall short.
In shaping your recovery, the influences of your current life and personal history need to be identified, understood and addressed.
As each individual is unique, Clinic Les Alpes addresses the Mind, Body and Spirit aspects through alternative practices so that patients can find the approaches that will best match their needs.Complementary therapies and integrative medicine also allow our patients to discover healthy activities they can incorporate in their aftercare programme.
We do not put you through a pre-set programme. We approach you as the unique individual you are.
While our approach will never be formulaic or standardised, we will draw on tried and tested therapies when we think they will work for you; always working collaboratively with you and being prepared to adjust the approach as we go along.
We start by getting to know you well and building trust so that we can work effectively together. This is the essence of a creative therapeutic relationship.
We will listen carefully to what you want to achieve.
Working closely with you individually, the lead therapist will, with the help of the medical and therapeutic teams, construct the clearest possible picture of how dependency and/or mental and emotional health issues are affecting you and those close to you. We draw on our experience and expertise to help you map out and establish a recovery that is entirely your own but one that we agree has the best chance of lasting beyond treatment.
We will help you put in place the support needed to sustain recovery beyond Clinic Les Alpes.
In many cases, people will arrive at the inpatient treatment center already taking some form of prescribed medication. The prescription is reviewed, adjusted as necessary, and then its effect carefully monitored throughout treatment. Every proposed step is discussed with the patient and carefully explained.
These aspects of personalized treatment ensure that the approach is tailored to each individual’s specific needs, providing the best chance of successful recovery and sustained well-being beyond the inpatient program.
Recovery is yours, and it is waiting to happen. We cannot give it to you or make it happen to you or for you. It is something that, with the right circumstances and approach, happens within you and comes to be owned and managed by you. So we focus on what we can do; that is, to create the right conditions to enable you to connect with and embrace recovery.
We see our role as to provide you with a safe, contained, as well as a professionally conscientious and caring space in which, with a personalized approach, we work together:
