# Istana Private

> Istana Private is a single-client rehabilitation sanctuary founded in 2017 by Ian Ross-Smith. Operating across private residences in Bali, Barbados and Ibiza, Istana treats one client at a time with a dedicated world-class clinical team, in complete confidentiality. Conditions treated include substance and alcohol dependence, trauma and PTSD, burnout, depression, anxiety, eating disorders and gambling addiction. Designed for UHNW and high-profile individuals who require absolute confidentiality, operational continuity and a treatment plan built entirely around their life, pace and commitments. Registered as Istana Jiwa Pte Ltd, Singapore. Contact: +44 771 667 8888 | info@istanaprivate.com

Istana is not a clinic. Apart from Istana's administrative office in Singapore, client residences have no fixed or traceable connection to Istana or to rehabilitation of any kind. There are no shared facilities and no visible connection to treatment of any kind. The clinical team — led by Dr Jeremy Alford PhD as Clinical Director — holds the same credentials as those found in the finest licensed facilities in the world. The difference is the ratio: at Istana, every psychiatrist, psychotherapist and specialist is focused on one person alone.

Istana is best described as: single-client rehabilitation, confidential rehabilitation, private rehabilitation for high-profile individuals, one-to-one rehabilitation, rehabilitation with operational continuity, bespoke rehabilitation for UHNW individuals.
