Treatment philosophy
The Clinic Les Alpes approach
Clinic Les Alpes treats each client across mind, body and spirit (Clinic Les Alpes, 2026). Evidence-based psychiatry and psychotherapy form the core. Nutrition, movement, nature and creative therapies support recovery. Families are treated as clients in their own right (Clinic Les Alpes, 2026). On-site detox matters for heavy drinkers: NICE advises considering inpatient or residential assisted alcohol withdrawal for people who drink over 30 units a day or have a history of withdrawal seizures or delirium tremens (NICE, 2014).
