The company was founded in 1973 by Wolfgang Glahn with a concept for short-term therapy for alcohol and drug addicts in the AHG Clinic Tönisstein . In the mid-1970s, eight addiction clinics were opened, sociotherapy was developed and several therapy centers were set up for long-term chronic alcohol and drug addicts. In 1981 the first behavioral medicine-oriented psychosomatic rehabilitation clinic in Germany was founded in Bad Dürkheim . In 1990, the takeover, new construction and modernization of existing clinics in the new federal states took place. In 1993 the Science Council of the AHG was founded.

In 2003 the first outpatient rehabilitation for neurological, orthopedic and psychosomatic diseases took place. 2006 saw the establishment of AHG Assist for health management for companies ( Employee Assistance Program ). In 2007 nine clinics were taken over. In 2009 the first inpatient therapy concept for the treatment of "pathological PC and Internet use", colloquially " computer addiction, Internet addiction or online addiction ", was developed.
