At Sanctuary Mauritius, we delve deep into a dual diagnosis: having an addiction problem plus a psychiatric or psychological problem. If the co-existing disease is not treated, patients can quickly relapse due to an effort to relieve the underlying anxiety/depression triggering the addiction.

This approach makes Sanctuary Mauritius unique in its treatment and follow-up care. It isn’t enough to just detoxify the person and expect prolonged results. This is a key reason we see an 85% success rate among our patients.

Upon arrival at Sanctuary Mauritius, you can expect to have complete physical and mental assessments by our highly trained team of psychologists, doctors and psychiatrist. Correct diagnosis significantly increases the chances of succeeding in treatment.

We will then customize a program for your specific condition and needs. In many cases, our first steps will be a nutritional approach with high doses of multivitamins to replace vital nutrients in the body and brain that have been drained from years of substance abuse and poor dietary habits.

The next steps involve treating the patient with non-addictive medication to assist in the rebalance of the brain’s chemistry so talk therapies and holistic approaches can be initiated. We find patients become very responsive to this inpatient rehab treatment after the first 10 days working through these steps.

From this, we will then combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), 12 Steps, meditation, mindfulness, yoga and physical exercise to rapidly produce lasting results the patient can see in short order.
