Since 2002, Pembe Köşk Psychiatric Hospital has saved lives by treating addicts from around the world. It has become the primary destination for many families seeking help for substance abuse issues. Our addiction treatment specialists at Pembe Köşk Psychiatric Hospital implement scientifically and effectively inpatient and outpatient treatment programs to provide personalized care for addicts, helping them recover and reintegrate into society.
Our hospital’s history in addiction treatment dates back to February 2002. The Pink Mansion Clinic for Drug, Alcohol, Cigarette, Gambling, and Food Addiction was first established in 2002 by Prof. Dr. Mehmet Çakıcı. Built with seven beds, the Pink Mansion was the first treatment and rehabilitation program in Cyprus. Bubrenorphine (Temgesic, Suboxone, etc.), previously used for heroin treatment in the US, Europe, and Australia, was first implemented in the Middle East at the Pink Mansion. During this period, Cypriot citizens traveling abroad for addiction treatment began receiving treatment at the Pink Mansion. As its reputation rapidly spread, numerous addicted patients sought treatment from Turkey, the Greek Cypriot Administration of Cyprus, and the UK, as well as from many other parts of the world. Since 2019, the Pink Mansion has undergone a more comprehensive restructuring as a hospital and rehabilitation center.
