Päijät-Hämeen Myllyhoitoklinikka

Päijät-Häme Myllyhoitoklinikka is a private addiction treatment clinic in Lahti, Finland, providing care for substance and gambling dependencies. Its Myllyhoito programme follows the Minnesota model and is based on the 12-step programme. The clinic describes its approach as the first of its kind in Finland and has provided Minnesota-model treatment in Lahti since 2009. Care is delivered by trained, experienced professionals, with services intended to accommodate people with different treatment needs, including those whose work commitments make intensive daytime outpatient care difficult. Medical services are arranged through external providers when needed.

The clinic’s services include addiction treatment, individual Myllyhoito, support for family members, assessments and courses for relatives. Its approach also recognises the effects of addiction on families and encourages ongoing self-care and peer support. In addition to treatment, the clinic offers books on topics including alcohol-related family issues, women’s drinking and choice theory. Päijät-Häme Myllyhoitoklinikka is a registered private social service provider and is located on Hämeenkatu in Lahti.
