About NEOVIVA Women's Programme
NEOVIVA Women's Programme is an ultra-private, boutique rehab clinic nestled on the world-famous Lake Lucerne in Switzerland. Often referred to as “The Riviera of Central Switzerland,” this picturesque location offers sweeping mountain views and a serene environment for recovery. The clinic is uniquely situated within a private section of a public hotel, providing an authentic yet discreet setting that mirrors real-world environments. This intentional setup is especially valuable for women participating in NEOVIVA’s Women’s Programme, as it allows them to confront and navigate potential triggers like social interactions and gatherings in a controlled and supportive space, fostering confidence and resilience for life beyond treatment.
Holistic Recovery with Advanced Diagnostics
The Women’s Programme is designed to treat a range of challenges, including substance addictions (alcohol, drugs, and prescription medications) and co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, burnout, and ADHD. At the heart of the program is a dedication to personalized care. Each participant undergoes advanced diagnostics, including hormonal and genetic profiling, to craft a treatment plan tailored to her specific challenges and goals. Hormonal imbalances, often overlooked in women’s health, are assessed and rebalanced to aid the holistic approach to recovery. From mindfulness training and body-centered therapies to cutting-edge modalities like repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), every aspect of care is designed to promote emotional and physical well-being.
Prepare for Life Beyond Treatment
What sets NEOVIVA apart is its innovative approach to real-life recovery. Unlike traditional rehabilitation centers, NEOVIVA operates within a hotel-like setting, allowing women to experience treatment in an authentic and relatable environment. This unique model empowers participants to apply new coping skills and behaviors in realistic scenarios, enhancing their confidence and resilience for life beyond treatment. The program also incorporates relapse prevention strategies, equipping women with the tools they need for long-term success.
Thrive Together and Find Support
Central to the Women’s Programme is its dynamic group-based therapy, which combines co-ed and women-only sessions. Co-ed therapy mirrors real-world social dynamics, building participants’ confidence in mixed-gender environments. Meanwhile, women-only groups offer a safe and supportive space to share experiences, address gender-specific challenges, and foster connections. This balanced approach ensures a comprehensive and empowering recovery journey, making the Women’s Programme a truly transformative experience.
NEOVIVA provides treatment in many languages, including French, Japanese, Bengali, Russian, English, German, and Afrikaans.
