The Haus Immanuel specialist clinic in Hutschdorf near Thurnau ( Kulmbach district ) was founded in 1907 by Ernst Keupp as a drinking sanctuary and is the oldest specialist clinic in Bavaria . Today, the clinic, as part of the German Diakonie Association, specializes in the treatment of women who are dependent on alcohol and drugs.
history
The facility was founded on March 3, 1907 by the then local pastor Ernst Keupp in Hutschdorf for the treatment of alcohol-dependent people as Bavaria's first drinking sanctuary. The Immanuel House is thus the oldest specialist clinic in Bavaria. In 1914 the specialist clinic was converted into a military hospital , primarily for the treatment of alcohol-dependent soldiers. After the end of the First World War , Pastor Keupp was appointed rector of the Hensoltshöhe Community Deaconess Mother House in Gunzenhausen . He took over the office under the premise that Hensoltshöhe would take over the work he had started in Hutschdorf. Thus, since 1919, deaconesses of the DGD in the clinic operates. In 1919, Sister Betty Bock took over the management of the clinic. During the Second World War , families and children were housed in the Immanuel house as part of the Kinderlandverschickung , including school children from Hamburg with their teacher Loki Schmidt , who spent a year there between 1940 and 1941. In 1945, by order of the US occupying forces, it was converted into a lung sanatorium . And as a specialist clinic Dr. Zwirner is a recognized institute for further training to become a specialist in pulmonology . It was re-established as a health center for women with addictions in 1961 under the direction of Herbert Riemenschneider. The recognition of alcohol addiction as a disease in 1968 was followed by the entitlement to paid treatment by the pension and health insurances, and in 1971 Haus Immanuel was recognized as a specialist clinic. The fundamental renovation of the facility in 1989 was followed in 2012 by the expansion of the specialist clinic by a modern new building with a total of 60 therapy places - 12 of them for mothers with children and, as one of the very few clinics of this type, a children's home.
Location
The Haus Immanuel specialist clinic is located in Hutschdorf near Thurnau in Upper Franconia in the Kulmbach district . The various departments of the clinic are located on a 10,000 m² park-like area: the main building with 60 therapy places for women with addictions as well as space for living groups, therapy facilities, children's playrooms and lounges. In addition, the specialist clinic has a swimming pool and a day-care center under its own management. The clinic's new sports hall was inaugurated in July 2017. Up-to-date, sport-therapeutic approaches are pursued on an area of 227m² equipped with the latest inventory.
therapy
In the Haus Immanuel specialist clinic, women with addictions are treated using a holistic approach. A particular focus is on the problems of addict women in society. Above all, additional burdens from children as well as extraordinary burdens, for example from caring for old and sick family members, often lead women to resort to addictive substances, which can lead to dependence. In therapy, the classic role model is opposed to an orientation towards the strengths and abilities of women. The duration of treatment is usually over 15 weeks.
Dealing with female sexuality
Dealing with the topic of female sexuality plays a special role in working with addict women, which is why this topic is treated in a gender-specific manner, especially since it is known that addicts in particular have experiences of sexual violence, both in childhood and in adult life have suffered high percentage.
Prostitution issue
Especially in the protected setting of a women's clinic, the affected patient can deal with prostitution and integrate the associated emotions and experiences into her personality. If the experience of prostitution is left untreated, the likelihood increases that addictive substances will be used again to cover up emerging feelings of shame and guilt.
Mother-child treatment
The Haus Immanuel Specialist Clinic offers women the opportunity to complete therapy with their children. For this purpose, the specialist clinic operates its own day care center: Kinderest, in which the children are encouraged. This is often the only option for single women to seek therapy, as they would never put their children in a home or foster family. The therapy also works on the disturbed mother-child relationship.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
In general, unprocessed trauma often leads to the development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In order to be able to help these women in a meaningful way and to lead them back to a healthy, drug-free life, this post-traumatic stress disorder must be treated in addition to the addiction disease.
Treatment of eating disorders
The treatment of eating disorders is playing an increasing role in the women-specific offer . In our society, femininity is defined much more than masculinity by appearance. Self-esteem often depends heavily on how attractive one's own body is experienced. Eating disorders such as bulimia or anorexia can develop.
