ISTANA, A NEW APPROACH TO RECOVERY
The Istana Approach is a unique one-to-one treatment model, providing a perfect balance of clinical precision, holistic practices and human connection.
In any elite facility, clinical excellence is expected. It Is how this is felt by the client and their willingness to engage with the process that matters.
This is what sets Istana apart.
Successful outcomes are not achieved through clinical input alone. We place equal emphasis on how all treatment is delivered. With compassion, empathy and human connection.
This is The Human Touch.
Clients can have a team of up to a dozen different practitioners. Add to this domestic staff, drivers and security personnel.
These are your family whilst with us. We wish that you enjoy the company of those around you as much as you respect their expertise.
We prioritise your therapeutic requirements above all else and, without question, integrate whatever modality is required for profound change and lasting renewal.
We are not prescriptive or bound by institutional restraints. Instead, we respond to new insights as they emerge, adapt to your progress and meet your evolving needs – physically, mentally and emotionally.
This allows us to consistently treat you as a whole and ever-changing human being to achieve the most effective and lasting treatment outcome.
