Initially, the Wysshölzli sanatorium offered women a place to treat addiction problems. Until 1972, the focus was primarily on occupation in the house and garden as well as sewing. From this point onwards, therapies were also offered, which are gradually being expanded. In addition to addiction disorders, the clinic began specializing in the treatment of eating disorders from 2000.
