WHY SOME CLIENTS FROM THE UNITED STATES CONSIDER CARE ABROAD
While the United States offers a wide range of treatment options, some individuals and families choose international residential care when they are seeking:
- greater privacy and discretion
- separation from familiar environments or professional pressures
- highly individualised, non-institutional care models
- multidisciplinary and integrative approaches beyond standard protocols
- time and space for stabilisation and long-term reflection
For many, care abroad represents an opportunity to step out of entrenched patterns and engage in recovery with renewed focus.
CONFIDENTIAL ADMISSION & INTERNATIONAL COORDINATION
Admission for clients based in the United States begins with a confidential remote assessment, conducted discreetly with the individual and, where appropriate, with family members or professional advisors.
Our international admissions team supports:
- private clinical screening and program suitability assessment
- coordination of international travel and arrival
- discreet transfers and accommodation arrangements
- communication with families, attorneys, or healthcare professionals as requested
All conversations are handled confidentially and without obligation.
RESIDENTIAL CARE AT THE BALANCE
Clients from the United States typically attend residential care at one of our European locations, including Mallorca, Zurich, London, or Marbella, depending on clinical needs, preferences, and logistical considerations. Residential care at THE BALANCE offers:
- individualised, one-client-at-a-time or small-group care
- low client-to-staff ratios
- multidisciplinary clinical teams
- trauma-informed and integrative treatment approaches
- discreet residential environments rather than institutional facilities
Treatment is designed around the individual rather than delivered as a standardised program.
PROFESSIONAL, FAMILY & PRIVACY CONSIDERATIONS
Many clients from the United States are navigating:
- demanding professional roles
- public or high-visibility positions
- complex family dynamics
- concerns about confidentiality or reputation
Our teams are experienced in working with these considerations and maintaining strict discretion throughout the treatment and aftercare process.
AFTERCARE & CONTINUITY OF CARE IN THE UNITED STATES
Continuity of care is planned from the beginning of treatment. After residential care, aftercare for clients returning to the United States may include:
- ongoing online psychotherapy or psychiatric follow-up
- structured relapse prevention and regulation support
- coordination with trusted local clinicians or specialists
- family support sessions conducted remotely
- guidance for reintegration into professional and personal life
Care is designed to continue beyond residential treatment, supporting long-term stability and wellbeing. Where clinically indicated, transition may include a period of Intensive Outpatient & Transitional Care within a THE BALANCE hub before returning home.
CONFIDENTIALITY, PRIVACY & DISCRETION
Discretion is a key consideration for many U.S.-based clients. THE BALANCE operates with:
- strict confidentiality standards
- secure communication channels
- no public disclosure of client identities
- no advertising or representation suggesting local U.S. facilities
Privacy is respected and protected at every stage of care.
