Oxygen Center — where the breath begins anew
We accompany people and their families on the journey from struggle to recovery, with medical excellence and human warmth.
Our story
Oxygen Center was founded on the firm belief that psychiatry and addiction treatment are a human right everyone deserves, without fear of judgment or stigma. Work on the center began in March 2018, and it opened its doors to patients in November 2018; since then we have grown through the recovery stories we built together.
Today, Oxygen is a trusted name in mental health and addiction care for adults and teens aged 15 and over, with a specialized team that has more than 15 years of experience in psychiatry and addiction treatment, and programs that keep pace with the latest science. And with the Oxygen Gold branch, opening on 1 January 2027, we continue our path toward care that is finer and closer.
