THE BALANCE provides one standard of fully private residential treatment, with each residential program dedicated to one client. The current published fee is CHF 100,000 per week. The confirmed location, initial duration, team, residential arrangement, inclusions, known exclusions, and payment terms are stated in the individual agreement and invoice before admission.
The fee is a significant financial decision and should be considered together with clinical suitability and the actual scope of care. Ability to fund treatment does not guarantee admission, and the program should not be reduced below a safe clinical structure to meet a budget.
THE BALANCE is not divided into ranked quality packages. The treatment plan changes according to need, while the one-client residential model and standard of coordination remain consistent.
Wider Group Options
| Program | Purpose and setting | Current published fee |
|---|---|---|
| THE BALANCE | Fully private residential treatment dedicated to one client | CHF 100,000 per week |
| COGNIFUL | Personalized residential treatment within a carefully selected small community | From CHF 40,000 per week |
| SENSES | A private healthspan program dedicated to one client | From CHF 70,000 per week |
These are distinct programs with different purposes, clinical scopes, residential models, and suitability criteria. They are not three quality levels of the same service. SENSES is not a treatment alternative for a person who needs psychiatric or addiction care.
What the THE BALANCE Fee May Include
- Initial multidisciplinary assessment and treatment planning
- The agreed psychiatric, psychological, medical, nutritional, and therapeutic core team
- Clinical case coordination and multidisciplinary review
- A private residence dedicated to one admitted client
- Personal support, scheduling, and household coordination within the agreed scope
- Private chef and meals within the confirmed arrangement
- Local transport identified as part of the program
- Privacy and residence-access arrangements
- Transition planning and the confirmed period of personalized continuing care
Not every client receives every method or specialist. Inclusion means the program provides the clinically indicated care within the agreed scope, not that a maximum list of services will be delivered.
Assessment and Clinical Care
Treatment begins with review of psychiatric, psychological, physical, substance-related, nutritional, sleep, medication, relationship, and risk information. The team develops a working plan and adapts it as the picture becomes clearer.
The proposal should identify the expected core professionals and any method or service that requires a separately contracted provider. A general phrase such as comprehensive care should not conceal limits or additional costs.
The treatment structure is described on Private Residential Treatment.
Private Residence and Personal Support
The fee includes the private residence and household arrangement stated in the agreement. A specific property, view, room, companion accommodation, security feature, or exceptional service should be assumed only when confirmed in writing.
Personal support is distinct from nursing, medical staffing, specialist security, or emergency care. The proposal does describe daytime, overnight, and on-call arrangements accurately.
Residence details are explained on Private Residences.
Continuing Care
The published program does include three months of personalized continuing care. The individual plan does specify frequency, professional roles, appointment format, family involvement, home-team coordination, jurisdictional availability, and what happens when the included period ends.
The longer-term pathway is on International Continuing Care.
Costs That May Be Additional
- Emergency, acute, or inpatient hospital treatment
- Independent specialist consultations, diagnostics, imaging, procedures, or laboratory work outside the agreed scope
- Medication and third-party medical charges not expressly included
- Private aviation, medical escorts, exceptional transfers, visas, or travel
- Specialist protective security or advanced technology services
- Accommodation, travel, meals, or services for companions and entourage
- Material changes to residence, staffing, or services requested after agreement
- Extended residential treatment or continuing care beyond the confirmed duration and frequency
Foreseeable additional costs would be discussed and authorized before they are arranged. Immediate action may sometimes be required to protect health or safety, subject to the agreement and applicable law.
Duration and Extensions
The initial number of weeks is a clinical recommendation based on the information available before admission. Complexity, stability, response, new findings, readiness for transition, and the home network may change the recommendation.
A proposed extension would have a clear clinical purpose and a written cost. The client or authorized contracting party would have time to understand the reason and alternatives. Residence and team availability must also be confirmed.
A shorter stay can provide valuable assessment and stabilization without implying that every longer-term need has been resolved.
Payment, Cancellation, and Insurance
The process requires the treatment agreement to be signed and the invoiced amount paid in advance. The final documents should state payment dates, currency, cancellation, postponement, early departure, refund, extension, and third-party terms.
Any insurance or payer reimbursement remains the responsibility of the client.
The practical process is described on How Admission Works.
When Another Program or Provider Is More Appropriate
If a carefully selected shared residential environment is clinically suitable, COGNIFUL may be considered as a distinct model. SENSES serves healthspan needs. Another hospital, specialist, community, or outpatient provider may also be the responsible recommendation.
The purpose of discussing alternatives is appropriate routing. Every inquiry should be assessed according to need, risk, setting, and capability.
Suitability is explained on Suitability and Admission Criteria.

THE BALANCE should not remove essential clinical or safety elements to reach a budget. Another suitable program or provider can be considered when a different model is appropriate.
