Confidential Residential Mental Health & Addiction Care for International Clients
This page is intended for individuals, families, and professional referrers across Latin America who are exploring confidential residential mental health or addiction care abroad, followed by structured aftercare and long-term continuity of care.
At THE BALANCE, we support clients from Latin America who are seeking privacy, neutrality, and a clinically governed treatment environment, often outside their immediate social, professional, or cultural context.

WHY CLIENTS FROM LATIN AMERICA SEEK RESIDENTIAL CARE ABROAD
Across Latin America, many individuals and families live within environments characterised by:
- high social visibility and interconnected family systems
- strong cultural expectations around responsibility and resilience
- stigma surrounding mental health and addiction
- concerns about privacy when seeking care locally
For UHNW individuals and internationally mobile families, seeking care abroad is often not about access, but about creating distance, discretion, and therapeutic safety.
International residential care allows clients to:
- step out of familiar family and social dynamics
- engage in treatment without reputational exposure
- access deeply individualised, non-institutional care
- stabilise in a neutral and protected environment
For many clients from Latin America, travelling abroad becomes a key therapeutic element, not a logistical barrier.
A STRUCTURED INTERNATIONAL CARE MODEL
THE BALANCE operates a clear and clinically governed international care model, designed to support clients across borders, languages, and time zones. Latin America care pathways typically include:
1. Confidential Pre-Admission Assessment
Initial conversations and clinical screening are conducted remotely, discreetly, and without obligation. These discussions may involve the individual directly and, where appropriate, family members, advisors, or professional referrers.
2. Residential Treatment at THE BALANCE
Residential care is delivered at one of our European locations on an individualised or small-group basis, supported by multidisciplinary clinical teams.
3. Planned Aftercare & Continuity of Care
Aftercare is designed from the outset and may include online psychotherapy, psychiatric follow-up, family work, and coordination with trusted professionals, adapted to international schedules.
Care pathways are tailored to:
- long-haul travel considerations
- multigenerational family structures
- cultural sensitivities
- ongoing international mobility
Where clinically indicated, transition may include a period of Intensive Outpatient & Transitional Care within a THE BALANCE hub before returning home.
RESIDENTIAL CARE LOCATIONS
Clients from Latin America typically attend residential care at one of the following THE BALANCE locations:
- Switzerland

Location selection is guided by:
