Blended 12-Step Approach

Les Mariannes Wellness Sanctuary

A holistic approach to addiction recovery

A Pathway to Whole-Person Healing

At Les Mariannes Wellness Sanctuary, we believe true healing begins when the mind, body, and spirit are aligned. Our Blended 12-Step Approach draws inspiration from the globally respected 12-step model, while integrating modern psychotherapeutic tools, holistic therapies, and mindfulness-based practices to meet the diverse needs of each individual.

Why Dual Diagnosis Matters

Addiction rarely exists in isolation. Often, it is deeply entangled with mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, or unresolved trauma. This is known as dual diagnosis, and addressing both aspects is crucial for long-term healing.

Rather than treating just the addiction, our approach looks at the whole person. We start with a comprehensive psychological and medical assessment so that we can get a clear picture of what you’re facing—because many times, one condition feeds the other. It’s the classic “chicken or egg” situation, and unless both are addressed together, the cycle may continue.

Our Psychological tools

The tools that we have to deal with addiction here are very powerful. We use Trauma-Informed therapies, Emotional Freedom Technique to release traumas and emotions, CBT, DBT, 12-step methodology. These will definitely help somebody to change his direction in life and get in a better mental state, to give up his addiction and rebuild his physical and mental life.

One of our core therapeutic pillars is psychotherapy. Through regular one-on-one counselling, you will have the opportunity to explore your story, identify the root causes of your struggle, and reframe limiting beliefs. We also offer group therapy and trauma release sessions to deepen your healing journey.

Blended 12-Step Approach

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

One of the most powerful tools in this process. It helps you identify and challenge negative thought patterns and replace them with healthier responses. CBT is especially effective for addiction, anxiety, depression, phobias, OCD, and PTSD.

Key CBT techniques we use include:
