Clare Waismann, M-RAS / SUDCC II

Founder of the Waismann Method and Domus Retreat

Clare Waismann, Registered Addiction Specialist (RAS), Substance Use Disorder Certified Counselor (SUDCC) and the founder of Waismann Method® and Domus Retreat® Behind the renowned Waismann Method® stands its visionary founder, Clare Waismann. A preeminent Substance Use Disorder Certified Counselor and Registered Addiction Specialist, Clare has tirelessly devoted her life to transforming opioid detoxification treatment. Her mission? Providing deeply compassionate and uniquely effective detox programs, tailored to the intricacies of each individual, beyond generic solutions.

With a prolific career that spans nearly three decades, Clare has been an unwavering voice, challenging age-old stigmas and advocating for a compassionate, informed approach to addiction and mental health.

In Clare’s Words:

“Mental health science has always intrigued me. While I initially underestimated addiction’s multifaceted nature, decades of dedication have illuminated its complexities. There’s no universal answer, but there are invaluable resources and triumphant recoveries. In healthcare, I’ve seen the irreplaceable power of knowledge, genuine compassion, and professionalism. Stigma, judgment, and arrogance have no place here.

I aim to craft sanctuaries for those in need – spaces where every voice is heard, every concern validated, and each treatment meticulously matched to the individual. I want every patient to find a transformative experience, guiding them toward a healthier future. My values drive my interactions, always.

My initial foray into healthcare was sincere, albeit a bit naive. Yet, through the years, my understanding of human struggles and resilience has deepened. My dedication remains unwavering: to elevate lives towards health and happiness.”

 

Clare Waismann’s Treatment Philosophy:

“Every person seeking help deserves a sanctuary where they’re truly seen and heard. It’s essential to align treatments with individual needs rather than predetermined formulas. My aim has always been to offer an impactful experience that lights the way to a healthier path.

While I entered healthcare with pure intentions, I’ve grown to understand more deeply the myriad needs and strengths of those I serve. Sadly, society’s view of addiction as a moral failing has stigmatized its victims, leading to misunderstanding and prejudice. It’s time we replace judgment with education, and stigma with empathy, capitalizing on science and compassion to make a difference.”
