I usually never write those reviews but in the light of the kind hearted help I have received at Paracelsus I decided to share my experience to encourage others who may suffer as I have. Coming from a very different cultural society I didn't expect to feel so comfortable at Paracelsus so quickly and be well understood by all the therapist. At that point, I think it saved my life and although it wasn't always easy to go through the process it was absolutely worth it! Besides that, the hospitality standard was better than in a five star hotel and very personal. Dr Thilo, Lynn and the whole team thank you!
I am the son of a wealthy family. Unfortunately, in my business endeavors, I had found myself in a rock and a hard place. Fortunately, as I can not go into much details regarding my difficulties, Paracelsus was there to help. If you have the resources required, I highly recommend their services. Their understanding of addiction, and the in-depth treatment they provide, which is virtually everything you would need to overcome any difficulty, I am beyond satisfied, refreshed, and feeling anew.
Thank you, Paracelsus, for your outstanding care and aptitude, and unending ingenuity.
I visited the offices and the paracelsus recovery studios last July. I was impressed by the Gerber family organisation. Since I do not come from this world, they have managed to explain the different treatments to me in a simple way.
The program seems very intense and the location is amazing, in one of the best areas of Zürich.
Interestingly Paracelsus is treating only one client at the time, so as consequence is very discrete and private (normally they treat high profile and discreet individuals, that's why the high-end price).
I am definitely returning back to Zurich and will look forward to meet Jan Gerber again.
I recently visited Paracelsus as part of a documentary video series my company is working on profiling luxury rehab centers around the world. We had the unique opportunity to tour the residences and other facilities that are part of the program. More importantly, we got to interview Jan, the Director, and key members of his team.
I've visited a number of luxury rehab centers at this point, and while not a medical professional by any means, I was struck by the comprehensive nature and overall quality of the program. The credentials and experience of the team are impressive. Paracelsus really stands out as every detail of the program aids in helping the client meet their recovery goals. They only treat one client at a time—typically high profile and discreet individuals—so the program is completely individualized for that client's particular needs.
What's also unique is that Paracelsus is a family owned and operated business. This gives the entire operation more of an intimate feel, and allows the team to make on the spot decisions to best serve the clients. In addition, Jan, the Director has taken some ethical stances that I personally admire. Many high-end mental health centers rely on referring professionals sending them clients and then the center giving that referrer a fee, often quite large, in return. Paracelsus is opposed to that and never gives any type of fee or "kick-back" to referrers.
“I am a Consultant Psychiatrist based in London. I have referred clients to Paracelsus Recovery and I am really impressed by the outstanding professionalism and empathy with which patients are treated. This is particularly true for patients with complex combinations of psychological and somatic/medical issues. I cannot think of a better- suited place in Europe for a comprehensive physical and psychiatric assessment.
I particularly respect Paracelsus Recovery for adamantly speaking out against the payment of undeclared referral fees. This principled approach contrasts with the less ethical behaviour of other treatment centres, and ensures that referrals to Paracelsus are based solely on patient need and the best interests of their health".
