The treatment focuses on both the psychological and physical symptoms and we strive for a holistic approach. In doing so, we aim to identify existing resources and integrate them into the therapy and care process in order to achieve the greatest possible independence, co-responsibility and cooperation. The aim is to help each patient with their individual problems, to relieve them and to show them perspectives for clarification.

Treatment
Duration of treatment
The duration of inpatient treatment is determined individually and is usually several weeks.
In addition to psychopharmacotherapy and psychiatric specialist nursing care, we focus on medical and psychotherapeutic individual and group therapy, exercise procedures such as activation of social skills, everyday life training, mindfulness group and relaxation exercises according to Jacobsen. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) - a modern further development of cognitive behavioural therapy - serves as the focus of treatment. ACT combines classic behavioral therapy techniques with mindfulness and acceptance-based strategies as well as value clarification interventions. Within the framework of ACT, we provide a starting point and strategies for dealing with symptoms of mental illness, which should make it possible to design and live everyday life in a more values-oriented way again. In addition, we have many other therapy options available if needed.
Targets for treatment
These are developed together with our patients during the course of therapy and could be, for example:

- Identification and strengthening of the patient's own resources
