The program
What is Hybrid Intensive Care Therapy?
Hybrid Intensive Therapy, or HIT for short, is Las Almas' outpatient program. You will receive medical and psychotherapeutic appointments within a personalized treatment plan. The specific procedures included and the frequency of appointments depend on your diagnosis, your previous therapies, and your current resilience.
Outpatient treatment means you come to the institute for your appointments and sleep elsewhere, at home or in accommodation. A hospital stay is not necessary. Your doctor will determine beforehand whether this is suitable for you.
In addition to the program, you can also book individual treatments or multiple appointments as a package at Las Almas. We will determine which treatment is right for you during the initial consultation and assessment. We will discuss the scope and costs with you before you book.
Before you decide, we will explain which procedures we recommend and why. Benefits, risks, and alternatives are all part of this decision. No one can guarantee a specific treatment outcome, including us.
