Assessment
Before a plan is agreed
We distinguish anxiety from thyroid and other medical causes where we can, review medication and substances, and listen to what the anxiety is trying to manage.
Anxiety
Private residential anxiety treatment in Mauritius
Anxiety can be a useful alarm. When it becomes the whole house, sleep, work and relationships start to organise around avoiding the next wave.
Understanding
What this often looks like in real life
Racing thoughts, body tension, panic, checking, or a constant sense of threat. Alcohol or sedatives may have become unofficial treatment.
Anxiety can be a useful alarm. When it becomes the whole house, sleep, work and relationships start to organise around avoiding the next wave.
Signs families notice
- Persistent worry or panic
- Avoidance that is shrinking life
- Physical symptoms: heart, stomach, breath, sleep
- Using substances to take the edge off
- Exhaustion from being "on" all day
Treatment
How the work is held
Psychological work, medical review, sleep restoration, and complementary practices that down-regulate the body without replacing therapy.
Journey
From first call to aftercare
A private setting can reduce stimulation long enough for new patterns to be practised, then taken home.
Why residential
A contained setting, when outpatient care is not enough
Why residential
Distance from usual triggers, 24-hour clinical cover where needed, and a daily rhythm that does not ask a depleted person to recover in the same environment that exhausted them.
Why Les Mariannes
Care is physician-led, one-to-one by default, and small enough that a stay is not a corridor of group timetables. Complementary therapies sit inside a medical plan.
Why Mauritius
Mauritius is not read as a public rehab destination. Distance from usual triggers, a stable island setting, and a hilltop centre in Congomah give international families privacy without theatre.
Dr Siddick
A clinical perspective
Anxiety is information. Treatment is learning to hear it without being ruled by it.
This is not a slogan. It is how assessment is done here: listen first, then decide whether a residential stay is even the right next step.
Families
The first call can come from someone who loves them
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.
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.
Questions
Frequently asked
Do you treat Anxiety at Les Mariannes?
Anxiety can be a useful alarm. When it becomes the whole house, sleep, work and relationships start to organise around avoiding the next wave. Suitability for residential care is decided after a confidential clinical conversation, not from a website list.
Is detoxification always required?
No. Some people need medically supervised withdrawal. Others begin psychological work without it. That decision is clinical.
How long would a stay be?
Length of stay is decided after assessment. Typical guidance is a short reset of one to two weeks, a core period of three to four weeks, or longer work. Nothing is sold as a fixed package.
Can a family member make the first call?
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.
Do you guarantee an outcome or publish a success rate?
No. We do not promise a cure, and we do not publish unverified success rates. Recovery is individual work, held in a licensed setting.
Why Mauritius, rather than a well-known rehab destination?
Mauritius is not read as a public rehab destination. Distance from usual triggers, a stable island setting, and a hilltop centre in Congomah give international families privacy without theatre.

Depression
Depression can look like exhaustion, irritability, numbness or a quiet disappearance from one's own life. It is not a failure of character.

Trauma is not only a memory. It can live in sleep, startle, relationships, and the substances people use to keep the night quiet.

Sleep is not a side issue. In addiction, depression, anxiety and burnout, the night is often where the problem concentrates.
