Headline basis: Public evidenceThe headline number is the public score, not the extended score., LROAS 1.0.0, edition 2026-10-01

Public-evidence total: 46

The sum of the ten criterion scores, from 10 to 100, using evidence anyone can check, including the clinic's own pages as self-declared statements. For the licence element of C2 only, it can also use an authority ruling held in our sealed evidence room. It is the only number used for the rank.

C1 Client separation and occupancy · 7

The homepage states there are no group therapy rooms and no shared schedules, and every programme page describes care delivered one to one. As standard, clients may take a private suite within a shared residence and share off-site facilities such as the fitness and Pilates studios, which places the standard offer at band 6; private ensuite bedrooms are not established, so band 7 is not reached on the standard offer alone. A fully private residence is sold as a separate tier, which adds one step to band 7 even though its price is not published. Differing client-number figures across sources concern capacity, not the occupancy model, so no deduction applies.

C2 Clinical governance and medical cover · 4

Searches of the Connecticut substance abuse facility datasets for the operator's town returned no record for this operator, and the operator states that it is not a psychiatric inpatient programme nor a detox or rehabilitation facility. The team page names five psychiatrists and two physicians, and psychiatric evaluation and medication review at admission are published, which supports band 4. No medical or clinical director role is named, overnight physician or psychiatrist presence is not established, on-site detox is explicitly not offered, no hospital escalation route is published and no accreditation was found, so no higher element is met.

C3 Diagnostic depth on admission · 6

Admission includes an in-depth assessment with psychiatric evaluation, medication review, bloodwork with biomarker assessment and nutritional and fitness assessment. The brain health programme adds cognitive or neuropsychological assessment, brain MRI volumetry, sleep studies, APOE genotyping and plasma biomarkers, with pre-admission blood tests where possible. This supports band 6; no further published element meets the next band.

C4 Clinical intensity · 5

Daily one-to-one psychotherapy is published for the flagship retreat, and the young adult programme publishes a weekly schedule of individual psychotherapy, CBT or DBT, mindfulness, coaching and trauma sessions. This supports band 5. Practitioners are described as contracted community clinicians, so a dedicated team is not established, and no 24-hour clinical presence is published, so band 6 is not reached.

Sources (4 cited items):

• Privé-Swiss: Daily one-to-one psychotherapy is a core component, with four weeks standard and extended residential care for more complex stabilisation cases.
• Privé-Swiss: The published weekly schedule is two 60-minute psychotherapy sessions, three to four 60-minute CBT or DBT sessions, two mindfulness training sessions, two coaching sessions, two or more substance abuse counselling sessions if appropriate and two 90-minute trauma or EMDR sessions if appropriate, on a two-week minimum or four weeks with psychiatric treatment.

C5 Continuity and aftercare · 7

The young adult programme publishes a written continuing care and discharge plan with local appointments set for the first 30 days at home. The brain health programme publishes the operator's own contact schedule after discharge: weekly video check-ins and bloodwork in month one, fortnightly check-ins in month two, full bloodwork in month three and a provider check-in at month six. Six elements are met, which gives band 7. Fee inclusion of aftercare, same-team continuation and a structured psychiatric follow-up are not published.

C6 Admission integrity and commercial conduct · 3

The news page names tier-one outlets as featured-in, but the items shown are reposts of coverage about a predecessor operation, wire releases and articles not about the clinic, which counts as a press wall without matching articles. No self-ranking site and no assistant-directed text was found; the /llms.txt file is a neutral content index. No price, no referral-fee position and no declining or voluntary-admission policy is published, so with one violation and fewer than three positive signals the score is band 3.

C7 Transparency toward the client · 4

The young adult programme page lists fee exclusions (psychiatric, physician and other specialised care charged separately), the contact and programme pages state that payment in full is required before admission and is non-refundable, and the operator publishes a statement of its limits. The Connecticut business registry confirms the operating corporation. Three elements are met, which gives band 4. No early-departure terms, licence reference, ownership disclosure, complaints route, inspection results or client-record privacy terms are published.

C8 Track record and regulator standing · 5

The operating entity has been registered in Connecticut since September 2010 and is active, and the Better Business Bureau profile shows no complaints closed in the last three years. Federal court record and open searches found no final regulator, court or tribunal finding against the operator, and no state regulator record exists since the operator holds no facility licence. The only bylined feature is a founder interview with no first-hand visit, and there is no second independent review platform, so the standing elements for a higher band are absent and the score is band 5.

C9 Environment, safety and nutrition · 4

The team page names a registered dietitian and medical nutritionist and a functional medicine nutritionist, and the retreat runs a nutritional assessment at admission that feeds the nutrition plan; the nutrition component is band 4. The environment is described through private rooms or suites, housekeeping and off-site wellness facilities, with no therapy room, no emergency equipment and no medication policy published; the house component is band 3. Middlesex Hospital's emergency department is about 27 minutes by road from Essex, but the clinic names only towns and no residence address, so the emergency route element is not met. The mean of 3 and 4 rounds up to band 4.

C10 Clinical seniority and academic standing · 1

The team page lists 23 named people with titles, and nineteen practitioners are confirmed on the Connecticut state licence dataset; two are confirmed as assistant clinical professors at Yale School of Medicine. No case role at this site is stated for any of them, every named clinician carries a stated practice or post elsewhere, no medical or clinical director is named, and no facility licence is proven. No clinician counts as core, so the score is band 1.

ProvisionalA check was still open when the edition closed, for example a register lookup or a video not yet received, or evidence under embargo.: Clinician register lookups for this criterion were still open at the edition cut-off (see known_gaps). The points count as assessed on the evidence available; the band may change when the lookups are completed, which is resolved in a later edition.
