Care Pathway for Clients from Saudi Arabia

This page is intended for individuals, families, and referrers based in Saudi Arabia who are considering confidential residential mental health or addiction care abroad, followed by structured aftercare and continuity of care upon return.

At THE BALANCE, we regularly support clients from Saudi Arabia, including individuals and families based in Riyadh and Jeddah, who seek discreet, personalised, and clinically governed treatment outside the region.

WHY SOME CLIENTS FROM SAUDI ARABIA CONSIDER CARE ABROAD

Choosing residential care outside one’s home country is a deeply personal decision. For some individuals and families in Saudi Arabia, international care is considered when there is a need for:

• a highly discreet and private treatment environment
• distance from daily pressures, obligations, or public visibility
• access to multidisciplinary and integrative clinical models
• complex or co-occurring mental health and addiction presentations
• a neutral and structured setting to focus fully on recovery

This decision is not about replacing local support, but about creating the right conditions for stabilisation, insight, and long-term change.

CONFIDENTIAL ADMISSION & INTERNATIONAL COORDINATION

The admission process for clients from Saudi Arabia begins with a confidential remote assessment, conducted discreetly with the individual or their family. Our international admissions team supports with:

• private clinical screening and suitability assessment
• coordination of travel and arrival logistics
• discreet transfers and accommodation arrangements
• communication with families or representatives as appropriate

All conversations are handled with the highest level of confidentiality and cultural sensitivity.

RESIDENTIAL CARE AT THE BALANCE

Clients from Saudi Arabia typically attend residential care at one of our established European locations, including Mallorca, Zurich, London, or Marbella, depending on clinical needs, privacy considerations, and personal preferences. Residential care at THE BALANCE is characterised by:

• individualised, one-client-at-a-time or small-group care
• low client-to-staff ratios
• multidisciplinary clinical teams
• trauma-informed and integrative treatment models
• discreet residential environments rather than institutional settings

Each program is designed around the individual rather than a fixed protocol.

CULTURAL & FAMILY CONSIDERATIONS

We understand that cultural context, family involvement, and discretion are central considerations for clients from Saudi Arabia. Our teams are experienced in:

• working respectfully with family systems and decision-makers
• accommodating privacy and discretion expectations
• adapting communication styles and therapeutic approaches
• considering language preferences where needed
• respecting personal, cultural, and religious values

Family involvement can be included in the treatment process where appropriate and desired.

AFTERCARE & CONTINUITY OF CARE IN SAUDI ARABIA

Care at THE BALANCE does not end with residential treatment. From the beginning of the program, we plan for structured aftercare and continuity of care once the client returns to Saudi Arabia. Aftercare may include:

• ongoing online psychotherapy or psychiatric follow-up
• coordination with trusted local clinicians or specialists
• family support sessions across borders
• relapse prevention and long-term regulation strategies
• gradual reintegration into professional and personal life

The goal is to ensure stability, continuity, and support beyond the residential phase. Where clinically indicated, transition may include a period of Intensive Outpatient & Transitional Care within a THE BALANCE hub before returning home.

CONFIDENTIALITY, PRIVACY & DISCRETION

For clients from Saudi Arabia, discretion is often essential. We operate with strict confidentiality standards, including:

• private communication channels
• no public disclosure of client identities
• no advertising or outreach within the region
• careful coordination with families or representatives

Your privacy is protected at every stage of the process.
