In principle, we assume that alcohol detoxification (i.e. physical detoxification) should be carried out in a suitable clinic if medically necessary. We will be happy to help you find a suitable clinic in your area. (See the section on „Frequently Asked Questions“)
However, in consultation with you and your GP if you wish, it is also possible to undergo medically and therapeutically supervised alcohol detoxification at Vida Libre.
During this time, you will be professionally supervised by our doctor and nurse as far as this is medically necessary. This has significant advantage over outpatient detoxification at home where you would be on your own.
Depending on your state of health and general condition, however, we reserve the right to entrust you to a good local private clinic for a few days. Your stay at the clinic will not incur any costs to you at Vida Libre. We will remain in close contact with you until you are back with us. (So far, however, this has only been necessary twice in all our years of operation to date).
You will not incur any additional costs as a result of a supervised alcohol detoxification at our centre. However, if you are only with us for two weeks, we might suggest that you stay a few days longer in order to have enough time for the psychological withdrawal treatment (i.e. the emotional letting go of the addiction), which is of decisive importance for your future.
