Fachklinik Hirtenstein is a medical rehabilitation clinic in Bolsterlang, in Germany’s Oberallgäu region, operated within the Suchthilfe Allgäu and Ordenswerke network. It provides residential rehabilitation for adult men experiencing alcohol or medication dependence, or pathological gambling. The clinic has 74 places for addiction rehabilitation and eight places in its Adaption program, which supports continued stabilization and the transition back to everyday life.

Its evidence-based approach combines medical, psychotherapeutic and social therapies, with individualized treatment planning and patients involved in setting goals and choosing measures. Rehabilitation aims to support abstinence, improve health and resilience, and promote social and vocational reintegration. Services include group and individual therapeutic activities, social skills and job application training, preparation for medical assessments, tobacco cessation, mindfulness, and sports and leisure opportunities. The clinic also emphasizes healthy eating and vocational orientation.

Set in a quiet health-resort area, Fachklinik Hirtenstein offers a protected environment for recovery and personal development. It provides information about admission and therapy-place requests, and organizes events for professionals and former patients.
