A holistic approach to addiction recovery
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.
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.
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.
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.
Alongside talk therapy, we use practices like meditation, breathwork, silence, and yoga to help you reconnect with yourself. These practices help calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and free the mind to identify fears, triggers, and unresolved pain that often fuel addiction.
Your body holds wisdom. Through bio-energy medicine and chakra analysis, we identify energetic blockages that might be contributing to your emotional or physical suffering. This is a powerful way to work beyond the mind, tapping into the subtle signals your body has been sending for years. These therapies can bring rapid and long-lasting breakthroughs when paired with traditional methods.
For clients struggling with substance dependency, detox is often the first step. It is important to go through an initial 7-10 days’ detox to clean up his body, to rebalance his brain and switvh off the cravings and cope with the with the withdrawal symptoms, which are often why people are unable to give up drugs or alcohol. Unlike most rehab centres in the world, here we are a licensed clinic equipped to provide 24/7 medically supervised detoxification and we have qualified doctors and medical staff onsite who will administer and monitor all detox programs. Your safety, comfort, and dignity are our priority. Our medical team ensures that withdrawal symptoms are managed compassionately and effectively.
In cases of severe addiction, Medically Assisted Therapy (MAT) can play an important role. We use carefully monitored medications to stabilise brain chemistry while our doctors begin preparing a tapering plan. The goal is always to reduce dependency on medication and transition toward natural, non-addictive alternatives whenever possible.
Our rehab centre is intentionally nestled away from distractions and triggers. Here, you are given the gift of time, space, and focus—essential ingredients for lasting recovery. You’ll be surrounded by a caring team who are not just professionals, but compassionate guides, ready to walk alongside you. Whether you are battling addiction, anxiety, burnout, or emotional overwhelm, our Blended 12-Step Approach can help you rebuild your life from the inside out—stronger, clearer, and more connected to who you truly are.
