For executives and high-flyers grappling with the stress of balancing a demanding career, family commitments, and other life pressures, an innovative boutique in the heart of Switzerland offers a transformational approach to addressing life’s emotional, physical, and psychological challenges. NEOVIVA, founded in 2022 by addiction specialist Oliver Neubert, is a private clinic overlooking the serene Lake Lucerne, offering a combination of evidence-based treatment methods and holistic therapeutic and well-being activities.
Exclusive, personalized care for mental health & addiction problems
What sets NEOVIVA apart from other rehab clinics offering services to wealthy clients is their focus on effective therapy. “We aren’t selling luxury,” says Neubert, “we are selling treatment. People come when they’ve lost control over their lives. We do have a spa, but that’s not the point.”
NEOVIVA stands out for its innovative approach to addiction and mental health treatment by integrating recovery within a real-life setting, specifically a hotel environment. This allows clients to practice the skills and strategies they learn in a setting that closely resembles their everyday life.
Clients who arrive at the clinic for substance addiction treatment first undergo medical detox at a nearby hospital. Afterward, they move to a private section of the hotel, where they can unwind in lake-view suites equipped with top-notch amenities. “The hotel’s other guests have no idea what we do; there are no signs anywhere,” says Neubert. “Clients check in under pseudonyms and we treat a maximum of ten clients at any one time”.
A commitment to excellence
NEOVIVA is committed to excellence through a holistic, individualized approach to addiction recovery, blending advanced medical care with personalized therapy in a luxurious environment. Their philosophy centers on treating the whole person, not just the addiction, ensuring long-term success by addressing the underlying causes of substance abuse. The clinic’s dedication to maintaining privacy, offering a supportive community, and providing continuous care even after treatment underscores its unwavering commitment to transforming lives and fostering sustainable recovery.
“For people who are serious about resolving their mental health and addiction-related problems, they have to address the underlying issues,” says Neubert, “and to do that, you need psychiatry, clinical psychology, and mutual aid support.”
A holistic approach to recovery
NEOVIVA is staffed by leading experts in addiction and recovery, many of whom bring personal experience in overcoming addiction. Guests at the clinic receive an exceptional standard of care from a team that includes highly qualified psychologists, psychotherapists, recovery counselors, and therapeutic practitioners. This combination of professional expertise and personal insight ensures a compassionate and effective approach to each client’s recovery journey.
Alongside established treatment methods such as counseling, psychotherapy, and CBT, the clinic also offers advanced therapeutic approaches, including rTMS, body-centered activities, mindfulness training, and relapse prevention.
“The environment plays a key role in recovery,” says Neubert. “With our holistic and personalized approach to treating individuals, in the awe-inspiring Swiss landscapes, our clients leave us with a renewed vision for leading healthier, more productive, and happier lives”.
Luxury facilities and suites
While Neubert emphasizes the treatment-focused nature of NEOVIVA, clients still enjoy luxurious accommodations and amenities. They can relax in the hotel’s Wellness Park, which features a large swimming pool and a heated outdoor whirlpool. For deeper relaxation, the Finnish sauna and bio sauna provide a traditional experience with added health benefits.
The clinic’s lake-view ensuite rooms are meticulously designed to offer both comfort and elegance, featuring a timeless and discreet style that promotes relaxation. Many rooms include a balcony, offering stunning views of Lake Lucerne. For those needing to stay connected, select rooms also feature a private office, ensuring clients have everything they need to remain at ease and connected during their recovery journey.
Helping clients achieve lasting change
NEOVIVA’s commitment to clients extends far beyond their initial stay, with a comprehensive Continuing Care Program designed to support the transition back to everyday life. This program offers seven months of complimentary ongoing support for those who complete at least four weeks of treatment. Clients benefit from flexible sessions with their key therapist, 24/7 access to a Recovery Counsellor, and weekly group sessions to build a supportive community. Additional services, such as sober companionship, further reinforce long-term recovery.
“We want all our clients who are struggling with drug or alcohol abuse problems to find balance in their lives again,” says Neubert, “and our commitment to that doesn’t end as soon as they leave our clinic. We’re here to ensure our clients achieve lasting recovery”.
