Therapy for Adults

This therapy service is aimed at adults aged 18 and over and places a special emphasis on the treatment of cannabis addiction.

We also treat substance use disorders associated with the abuse of or addiction to synthetic substances such as MDMA (ecstasy), cocaine, amphetamines, LSD, ketamine, or GHB/GBL. We also offer support for non-substance-related behavioral addictions, such as excessive use of social media, pornography, or gaming.

Many of our clients suffer from other psychological distress in addition to their substance use disorder, such as depressive episodes, anxiety disorders, psychotic symptoms, or personality disorders. These comorbidities are also treated as part of our therapeutic services.

We offer specialized treatment options for people with psychosis and concurrent substance use disorder. This includes our Double Trouble group, which specifically addresses the specific needs of these clients.
