The Küsnacht Practice

Our approach often includes the following treatment plan components but is not limited to them nor are all of them always included:

• Withdrawing clients from the drug(s) when physiologically dependent. We do this in a hospital environment, under the supervision of our medical director and with 24 hour nursing care.
• Detoxing using saunas, special diets, exercise, fasting and colonic irrigation to rid the body of toxins and help stop craving. depression, anxiety, insomnia and other mental health disorders.
• Testing and laboratory work to determine the medical and nutritional needs of each client and based on these results our medical director, nutritionist, and chef develop a plan of action. Biochemical restoration of the brain and central nervous system helps stop craving, depression, anxiety, insomnia and other mental health problems and is a treatment priority for every client.
• A family program involving individual treatment plans for each family member that may include one or more family members living in the treatment facility for some or all of the period of treatment.
• Massage, Reiki and Reflexology
• Meditation
• Yoga
• Art and/or music therapy
• Gym and outdoor training program
• Identifying and treating co-occurring mental health disorders. Treatment includes hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, EMDR, traditional Chinese medicine, herbal medicines and amino acid therapy.
• Erasing triggers and stressors using EMDR
• An intensive psycho-educational program including a custom made book on relevant topics for each client and family member involved in the treatment program
• When appropriate, complete the first five of the 12-Steps
• Attend support group meetings
• Spiritual counselling
• Life counselling and performance enhancement

• An intensive after care program for the client and family members. It involves daily telephone calls for the first critical period of time, connecting with other people in the client's home community when appropriate, return visits or a Küsnacht Practice team member visiting the client monthly and then quarterly for the first year and then on a declining frequency until the end of year three.
