ABOUT PRIVÉ SWISS
Privé Swiss is a luxury residential treatment center for upscale clientele. The facility’s website describes its typical client as a seasoned professional between the ages of 40 and 65 who has “achieved financial success” but has lost themselves in depression, exhaustion, or addiction. While residential treatment for those struggling with substance abuse is among the facility’s offerings, Privé Swiss also offers a host of other services, including a “Psychological/Emotional Treatment Program,” and a “1-Week Superstar Intensive” for high-achieving individuals short on time, as well as a Legacy Young Adult program.
According to its website, Privé Swiss maintains three confidential facilities along both the East (Connecticut) and West (Southern California) Coast.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Privé Swiss’s differentiating factor is its personalized attention; according to its website, all clients receive one-on-one attention, and the facility admits only three clients at a time. Its main offering, the Clarity Program, typically lasts two to four weeks, though length of stay varies depending on needs.
Programs are highly structured and guided by coaches for nearly every element. For example, clients meet with a psychotherapist three times per week, along with coaches for fitness, stress management, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), life coaching, relapse prevention, and medication management (if needed). Other components include expressive therapy, yoga/meditation, weekly massages, acupuncture, spirituality counseling, daily off-site outing opportunities (i.e. shopping, visiting the local village), journaling, and nutritional counseling. There is also a couples program available.
