Fondation Esterelle-Arcadie

What Fondation Esterelle-Arcadie does

Fondation Indi-Go (formerly Fondation Estérelle-Arcadie) is a Swiss non-profit foundation headquartered in Vevey, Canton of Vaud, delivering addiction recovery and social reintegration services to adults with alcohol and psychotropic substance dependencies. It operates three residential establishments — L'Estérelle in Vevey, L'Arcadie in Yverdon-les-Bains, and L'Épi in Ménières (integrated in 2025) — alongside two day centers in Vevey and Yverdon-les-Bains, adapted housing units, an occupational workshop, and outpatient follow-up programs. The foundation's technology stack is a socio-educational support framework rather than a software platform: a person-centered recovery methodology emphasizing autonomy restoration, daily structure, trust-building, and durable social link reconstruction, delivered through multidisciplinary teams present daily across all sites.

The business model is institutional and publicly funded rather than commercial. All admissions are funneled through the Dispositif cantonal d'indication (DCISA), the official cantonal evaluation and orientation body for addiction services, which assesses individuals and directs them to the foundation's residential, day, housing, workshop, or outpatient programs. Financial participation is estimated individually during the intake process and is not publicly disclosed; the foundation describes its pricing as individualized subscription-style recurring engagement with multi-year contract horizons. The organization has approximately 18 employees and relies on partnership with cantonal social, medical, and institutional networks. No external ownership, parent company, or holding structure is indicated in the available data. Revenue figures, fundraising totals, and donor contribution data are not disclosed in the source material.

Comparable as a sector leader addressing substance use in Switzerland, though broader in scope (prevention, policy, research) than Indi-Go's residential/outpatient care focus.
