Common questions

How much does the day clinic cost and does insurance pay?

Approximately EUR 15,000 for 6 weeks; private health insurance usually covers the cost in full. The clinic serves only privately insured and self-paying patients.

Is there a waiting list?

The clinic states it strives for short waiting times ('keine langen Wartezeiten'), but notes that private insurers' approval processing times vary considerably.

When is day-clinic treatment appropriate?

If you have suffered for a longer time from burdensome depression, anxiety, sleep disorders or intense hopelessness and outpatient care is no longer sufficient. Acute suicidality or psychotic episodes are referred to the responsible public psychiatric clinic.

How do I start?

Request a consultation/call-back via the website form (Rueckrufwunsch) or the contact form; referring physicians have a dedicated 'Fuer Zuweiser' channel.

Who can get psilocybin therapy?

Only individual patients with treatment-resistant depression in justified exceptional cases within the Compassionate Use programme, after case-by-case benefit-risk review; treatment is embedded in a multi-week day-clinic programme.
