About
Norte Abri boasts a distinctive 28-day initiative dedicated to the treatment of addiction to psychotropic substances. This center aids individuals in attaining sobriety through a fusion of the Minnesota Model, tailored counseling, and immersive experiences in nature. The program is meticulously customized, encompassing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), recreational therapy, nutritional guidance, adventure activities, and group support. Central to the process is the opportunity for clients to journey to various locations, connecting with peers who inspire them to envision a fulfilling and tranquil life free from addiction.
With just three clients accepted at any given time, Norte Abri ensures a deeply personalized experience. During the month-long program, participants will reside in multiple locations across Switzerland and France. The Le Chatel Notre Abri facility is situated in Montreux, Switzerland, at an elevation of 1212 meters. Established in 1935, this beautiful chalet offers a cozy and inviting environment, complete with private rooms boasting views of the majestic Alps and Lake Geneva. Meanwhile, the Villa Les Embruns, located on the picturesque French Riviera, features lavish accommodations, stunning vistas, invigorating ocean breezes, and an onsite swimming pool. Clients will also enjoy a week aboard a 14-meter sailboat, each having their own cabin and two bathrooms, as they explore the sun-kissed islands of the Riviera.
Norte Abri emphasizes adventure, integrating numerous nature-based activities into the program. Depending on seasonal conditions, clients may engage in activities like rock climbing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, sailing, windsurfing, diving, cooking, gardening, bee keeping, and animal-assisted therapy. Norte Abri provides a truly unique pathway to help individuals regain control of their lives and achieve lasting freedom from psychotropic drug use.

Providers Policy
At Notre Abri, we understand that navigating the financial aspects of rehabilitation can be a crucial part of the recovery journey. Our unique 28-day program for psychotropic drug addiction treatment is designed to provide a highly individualized experience, and we are committed to supporting our clients in finding the necessary financial resources.
We partner with various insurance providers to help ease the financial burden of treatment. Each client's insurance policy varies, so we encourage individuals to contact their insurance provider directly to inquire about coverage for our specialized programs and services. We are happy to assist in this process by providing necessary documentation and answering any questions regarding eligibility.
For those whose insurance does not cover our services, or for clients seeking to pay privately, we offer flexible payment options. Our admissions team is available to discuss customized payment plans tailored to fit your needs, ensuring that cost does not hinder your path to recovery.
At Notre Abri, we prioritize your well-being and strive to make the financial aspects as manageable as possible, allowing you to focus on your journey towards lasting abstinence and a fulfilling life. If you have any questions about payment options or insurance coverage, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team for further assistance.
