Founded in 1911 by Julie von Effinger with a mission to help individuals overcome addiction and rebuild their lives, this foundation-based organization operates multiple specialized clinics across the Aargau region dedicated to comprehensive addiction treatment and trauma recovery. The Klinik Im Hasel in Gontenschwil serves as a physician-led facility where experienced medical and psychological professionals conduct thorough diagnostics and evidence-based treatment for alcohol and substance use disorders, as well as trauma-related conditions. The foundation’s integrated care model extends beyond acute treatment to include residential rehabilitation, occupational reintegration programs, and supported living arrangements at the Integrationszentrum Aarau, ensuring continuity of care during the critical recovery phase. For international patients seeking addiction treatment in a Swiss setting, this organization offers a holistic, medically rigorous approach grounded in over a century of specialized experience and institutional stability.
