Letting go of substances: discreet medical accompaniment
There are substances that no one would have expected – certainly not with you. And yet they are there. Sometimes as an aid to switch off, sometimes as fuel for what does not end, sometimes because an evening has gone and stayed in a different direction.
What changes under it.
Substances that regulate the interior leave traces. Cannabis alters sleep, drive, memory — quieter than thought, but measurable. Stimulants such as cocaine burden the heart, vessels, sleep, mood. What began as help increasingly costs strength instead of giving it.
Added to this is secrecy. Who takes regularly and can not tell anyone, lives with a second life in the background. This costs energy, which is missing. And it nourishes what should actually silence the substance: the inner tension.
Who recognizes several sentences, knows the problem exactly. What is missing is not knowledge – but a space where you can be honest without it having consequences.
Typical Questions and Observations
These indications are not self-diagnosis. They help to arrange the personal concern for a specialist discussion.
- You secretly plan your everyday life around the substance.
- You tried to stop several times — and it came differently.
- You disguise or whitewash what you actually take.
- You know that it increasingly costs more than there is.
- They are afraid that something will come up — professionally, privately, healthily.
- You know deep down that it’s time. You just can't tell anyone.
Why it has to be discreet.
For our clientele a conventional addiction treatment is not conceivable. Not because of shame alone — but because of reality: a file, an entry, a stamp can change a life. What appears in an insurance, what becomes visible in an employer, what can become a question in the supervisory board.
At re:NOW, everything is done in a private, specialist-led refuge for a maximum of 24 guests. What we do remains between us. There is no file in a public system, no health insurance notification, no traces. Who you are, no one knows outside this house.
And it's not about confrontation. It is about understanding: what has replaced the substance at this point – and a path that lasts without it.
Medically accompanied, without drama.
At re:NOW, a psychological psychotherapist with many years of international experience in this field is working, supplemented by an internist specialist team. We take physical consequences seriously — heart, sleep, metabolism, autonomic nervous system — while working on what the substance needed.
In a place where discretion has been at home for nine hundred years: the Kloster Beuerberg on Lake Starnberg.
Good to
know.
Is my stay really nowhere documented?
In no public system. We are a private specialist institution - self-payment service, no health insurance, no files except the internal one with us. What is spoken between you and your therapist stays there.
Can you treat physical consequences? View
Yes. Our medical team examines thoroughly at the beginning - heart, circulation, metabolism, autonomic nervous system, sleep. What can be recovered, we address. What has left traces, we look honestly and decide with you.
What happens if I come back to my environment after my stay?
That’s the important question — and it doesn’t start on the last day. We are carefully preparing for re-entry. Upon request, we will accompany you with video appointments and refresher stays. No one is left alone.
What if I don’t want to stop, just clarify?
is also a good start. He who comes does not come with a duty. You come to clarify what is — and what you want to do with it. You decide the rest.
