Mauritius · Private residential clinic
When life becomes too much
Private, physician-led residential care for addiction, mental health and burnout. Highly personalised. International. A serious clinical stay, not a luxury rehab brochure.
What we treatPathways
Three ways people come to us
You do not need a perfect diagnosis before you speak with us. These are starting points, not boxes to fit into.
01
Addiction
Alcohol, drugs, prescription medicines, gambling and other behavioural patterns, including when mental health is part of the same picture.
Explore addiction care02
Mental health
Depression, anxiety, trauma and sleep, treated with medical oversight in a private residential setting rather than a crowded ward.
Explore mental health care03
Burnout and restoration
Exhaustion, executive overload and chronic stress, treated as clinical work. Rest is part of the plan. It is not the whole plan.
Explore restorationPhilosophy
Doctor-led. Personalised. Discreet.
Les Mariannes is a licensed medical rehabilitation facility in the hills of Congomah. Care is physician-led, one-to-one by default, and small enough that a stay is not a corridor of group timetables.
Complementary therapies may sit inside a medical plan. They do not replace it. We do not publish package prices, success rates, or guaranteed outcomes.
The method
Medicine, mind, body, inner balance, life, continuity
A whole-person frame for residential recovery. Each stay uses the parts that are clinically indicated, not a spa menu of extras.
02
Mind
Individual psychotherapy, psychiatry where indicated, and trauma-informed work at a pace the person can bear.
03
Body
Sleep, nutrition, movement and physical recovery, so the nervous system is not asked to heal on empty.
04
Inner balance
Yoga, meditation, breath and quiet complementary therapies that support, rather than replace, clinical care.
05
Life
Work, family, meaning and the relationships that will meet the person after they leave.
06
Continuity
Review during the stay, discharge planning, and aftercare so the week after leaving is not a cliff edge.
Founder
Four decades in medicine. Fourteen years learning from addiction.
Dr Siddick Maudarbocus is Clinical Director of Les Mariannes. Qualified in Dublin and trained in London, he has spent more than 40 years in medicine. His own fourteen-year journey through addiction and recovery still shapes how this centre meets people: without humiliation, and without pretending that insight alone is treatment.
He oversees assessment and programme design with a multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, counsellors and complementary practitioners.
What we treat
Specialist pages for the conditions families actually search
Each page is written for a human situation, then assessed clinically. If you are unsure which one fits, start with a conversation.
Alcohol
Alcohol dependence is rarely only about drinking. It is often about sleep, mood, stress, family, and what alcohol has come to do in a life.
Read moreDrugs
Drug dependence can involve street drugs, prescribed medicines used unsafely, or a pattern that has outgrown the original reason it began.
Read moreDepression
Depression can look like exhaustion, irritability, numbness or a quiet disappearance from one's own life. It is not a failure of character.
Read moreAnxiety
Anxiety can be a useful alarm. When it becomes the whole house, sleep, work and relationships start to organise around avoiding the next wave.
Read moreTrauma and PTSD
Trauma is not only a memory. It can live in sleep, startle, relationships, and the substances people use to keep the night quiet.
Read moreBurnout
Burnout is what happens when a person has kept going for too long, with too little recovery, until the body and mind refuse the old pace.
Read moreExecutive burnout
High responsibility can hide depletion for years. Decision fatigue, travel, alcohol, and the inability to stop thinking are not personality. They are a clinical picture.
Read moreDual diagnosis
Addiction and mental health often arrive together. Treating only the substance, or only the mood, leaves the other half of the problem waiting at the door.
Read morePersonalised treatment
Length of stay is a clinical recommendation
Typical ranges help families plan. They are not packages you pick from a menu, and they are not priced on this website.
7-14 days
Assessment and reset
A short residential period to assess, stabilise and interrupt a pattern. Useful when outpatient care is not enough and a longer stay is not yet clear.
21-28 days
Core recovery
Enough time for medical review, a body of individual therapy, sleep restoration and a first aftercare plan. This is a typical core period, not a product.
4+ weeks
Deeper work
When trauma, dual diagnosis or long-standing dependence need more than a month. Length is a clinical recommendation after assessment.
These ranges are guidance for families, not packages. Nothing is priced or promised before a confidential clinical conversation.
The sanctuary
A hilltop setting built for rest and clinical work
Les Mariannes is a licensed medical rehabilitation facility, not a hotel and not a hospital ward. Twenty-five ensuite rooms, therapy spaces, gardens, a restaurant, yoga and meditation areas, fitness and hydrotherapy sit on a private estate in Congomah.
- 25 ensuite rooms
- Therapy and consultation rooms
- Gardens and quiet walks
- Restaurant and tailored meals
- Yoga and meditation spaces
- Fitness and hydrotherapy
Why Mauritius
Sometimes recovery requires distance
Mauritius is not read as a public rehab destination. A stable island, straightforward international access, and a hilltop centre away from the tourist circuit give families privacy without theatre.
English, French and Arabic are spoken on site. Distance from usual triggers is part of the clinical setting, not a holiday backdrop.
International clients
The journey, made as simple as it can be
From a first confidential conversation to return and aftercare. Travel is coordinated only after we agree that a stay is appropriate.
Confidential discussion
A private call, WhatsApp or written enquiry from anywhere. Share as little or as much as you wish.
Medical review before travel
We review history, medication and whether a residential stay in Mauritius is appropriate before anyone books a flight.
Arrival
Airport coordination can be arranged. The first day is intake, rest and orientation, not a packed timetable.
Treatment
A personalised residential plan: medicine, therapy, daily rhythm and complementary support where it helps.
Return and aftercare
Discharge includes a realistic next step at home, including remote follow-up and family communication where consented.
High-functioning distress
You do not have to reach collapse to deserve care
Many guests are still working, parenting and appearing composed. Alcohol, stimulants, exhaustion or anxiety can sit beside a demanding career for years. Waiting for rock bottom is not a treatment strategy.
Confidentiality is part of how this centre is designed: a small census, ensuite rooms, and a location that is not a public rehab address.
Families
Are you worried about someone you love?
The first conversation may be with a spouse, parent, adult child, sibling, friend or doctor. You do not need the person to complete a form before you ask for guidance.
We will listen, help you think about whether residential care is even the right next step, and talk through how to raise it, if that is useful.
