About Casa de Saúde da Boavista

Casa de Saúde da Boavista is a private hospital in Porto whose psychiatry service, the Clínica for Happiness directed by psychiatrist Dr. Rui Moreira, assesses and treats substance dependence alongside anxiety, depression, phobia, insomnia, dementia and psychosis. Care is mainly through outpatient consultations, with temporary inpatient admission in an individual room or ward when a patient’s condition requires it.

The programme is pitched at individuals who are not well but not necessarily ill, and brings together medication, psychotherapy and nutrition within a general hospital that also offers medical and surgical specialties. Dra. Vera Harry Leite coordinates the clinic, whose reception opens on Monday and Wednesday mornings. Addiction is one strand of a broader mental-health service rather than a stand-alone rehabilitation programme, and no dedicated detox unit, programme length or therapeutic community is described. The hospital’s website carries a three-part educational article by Dr. Moreira explaining that hospital detox programmes usually last under 15 days and are followed by longer rehabilitation elsewhere, which gives a sense of how the service sees its role. Appointments are booked on 22 833 9000, and the hospital is registered with the Entidade Reguladora da Saúde.

Casa de Saúde da Boavista Mental Health Services

Casa de Saúde da Boavista provides outpatient psychiatric consultations and, when necessary, temporary inpatient admission through its Clínica for Happiness, which assesses and treats substance dependence together with generalised anxiety, depression, phobia, insomnia, dementia, psychosis, chronic pain and weight change. Treatment rests on three tools: medication, psychotherapy and nutrition, under a psychiatrist’s direction.

The hospital setting means that other medical and surgical specialties are available on the same site, and inpatient stays take place in an individual room or on a ward rather than in a rehabilitation residence. The substances treated are not specified on the website, and no detox protocol, counselling programme, group therapy, family work or aftercare is described, so the service is best understood as hospital psychiatry with addiction among the conditions it manages. Dr. Rui Moreira’s published article on dependence suggests that short hospital detox is normally followed by longer rehabilitation in a therapeutic community, so anyone seeking a full programme should ask how the clinic links to such services and what happens after discharge.

How Much Does Treatment at Casa de Saúde da Boavista Cost?

Published prices for Casa de Saúde da Boavista weren’t found. The hospital is private, and its website states no consultation fees, daily inpatient rates or insurance and ADSE agreements for the Clínica for Happiness. Private psychiatric inpatient care in Portugal typically costs €6,000 to €16,500 a month for inpatient care, so contact the hospital for pricing tailored to your needs.

Costs will differ sharply between outpatient consultations, which are likely to be charged per appointment, and a temporary inpatient admission, which would be billed by the day with the room type affecting the rate.

Casa de Saúde da Boavista Reviews

Reviews of Casa de Saúde da Boavista from around the web relate to the hospital as a whole, covering its medical and surgical services as much as its psychiatry, and feedback specific to treatment for substance dependence is limited. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for this Porto hospital, and anyone treated through the Clínica for Happiness is welcome to share their experience.

Because addiction is one of many conditions the clinic manages, general hospital reviews say little about what you or a loved one could expect from a dependence consultation or a short admission. Accounts describing the assessment, the mix of medication and psychotherapy and how the team arranged longer-term rehabilitation afterwards would fill a real gap.

Surgeries that aren't even performed in third-world countries! Inhumane treatment! Two consultations with a broken bone, intense pain, seen by more than one doctor and nurses, and it was necessary to go to the public… hospital to detect the refracture.

★☆☆☆☆
Marlene Costa3 weeks ago

My assessment is solely based on a lack of empathy and proper medical treatment for my work-related injuries. I have injuries documented by MRI, including a vertical meniscus tear, which is traumatic, and Dr. Miguel… Trigueiros completely distorted the exams, insinuating that the tear was horizontal, in order to avoid liability on the part of the insurance company. The case has already been submitted to the labor court.

Excellent! I had surgery at the end of April, stayed 2 nights, and everything went very well. Everyone is very professional and humane; the nurses and doctors are 5*! Especially my surgeon, Professor Dr. João Araújo… Teixeira, and the anesthesiologist who works with him is spectacular! The nurses and nurses too. And the ladies in the kitchen and the assistants. Everyone is super helpful! I recommend it; it was the best decision I made to have surgery at this place. It has a more family-like atmosphere, even though it's a hospital. My thanks to the whole team.

Good… My son was born here! Dr. Delfina and her entire team were impeccable; we highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to have their little one here. The nursing staff, the ladies, are 5 stars, very patient and… dedicated, thank you! The food left something to be desired, but the room was always very clean. However, the administrative service was poor or terrible; they don't answer the phone, and there was very little empathy in person.

Inês do Nascimento2 months ago

Frequent and extremely time-consuming delays. The service is chaotic and very, very disorganized. This is a systemic problem and in fact nothing changes; the management of this establishment is incomprehensible. For… fasting exams, I don't even recommend it. (Unilabs - Casa Saúde Boavista)

I want to publicly thank Dr. Francisco Serdouro and his team for the way I was treated. It was 5☆☆☆☆☆. Thank you for being such a wonderful human being and an excellent professional. I don't want to forget the support… from the Orthopedics Department, especially the nursing professionals Victor and Duarte, as well as their colleagues who make up the rest of the team that took care of me. Young people with an enormous sense of responsibility. It would be wrong if I forgot the auxiliary staff. Thank you all, you were always attentive and always with a smile on your face. Congratulations to Casa de Saúde da Boavista for offering us these excellent professionals. And finally, the kitchen, simply impeccable. To everyone, my heartfelt thanks and eternal gratitude for the way I was treated. A huge hug to everyone. My regards, Fernando M.F. Vicente PS.

Dr. Delfina Ferreira Leite, an exceptional doctor! Excellent in both technical and behavioral skills. She spreads happiness and a positivism that lingers in the soul like a delightful scent. Impeccable nursing staff and… equally so. Food? Words fail me; the Sisters who prepare the food (homemade meals!) deserve Michelin stars. Surrounding areas inside? Beautiful. It's less painful to be sick there. Thank you so much to everyone!

Incredible experience! I have nothing but wonderful things to say about CSB! I had my baby about a month ago and I have to say it was the best place I could have chosen! All the doctors, nurses and assistants were… exceptional with us! Very helpful, caring and kind. The food was also very good, the room super comfortable and clean. I have to give a special thank you to all the nurses, but especially to Nurse Gracinda! I don't even have words to thank her for all the attention, affection and availability in helping me with breastfeeding and caring for my baby! An incredible and very humane professional! I am very grateful to her!

Deplorable administrative service, total lack of coordination, and disrespect for the user. Inoperative telephone lines where time is wasted without being attended to. I had to go to the health center in person to… discover that an email from Unilabs changing my appointment had been opened by the services, but completely ignored. The appointment only took place due to my insistence in person. As if that weren't enough, in their response to the formal complaint: They presented unrealistic call times to justify the inefficiency of the service. They seriously violated the GDPR, sending me confidential documentation with clinical and personal data in a reused envelope, torn and sealed with tape. The official document was dated January 2026 for events in July 2026. A health institution, with the values ​​it professes, cannot treat users with this negligence, lack of rigor, and disrespect for privacy. The situation was described in the Complaints Book, on the Complaints Portal, and reported to ERS.

Daniela Argudo Suárez4 months ago

I'm giving only one star because there's no option to give zero stars. I had the worst experience of my life with Dr. Ana Paula Marques. I left the office crying because she didn't let me speak for even a second, and… the few things I managed to say were immediately interrupted or criticized... I absolutely do not recommend going to an endocrinologist at this place. Speaking from the perspective of someone who also works in healthcare and understands how to have empathy, active listening, and understanding with the client/patient, the doctor was the complete opposite; she was the most rude person in communication I've ever encountered in a doctor's office.

Eight years ago, I had my daughter at Casa da Saúde da Boavista, and it was a unique experience. Last week, I had the privilege of returning for the birth of my son, and, as expected, the experience exceeded all my… expectations in a positive way. I want to give a very special thank you to Dr. Maria José Mendes, nurse Carla, and the entire team that assisted with my delivery. I also thank all the nurses for the dedication, patience, care, and professionalism with which they looked after me and my baby throughout our stay. Thank you for making such a special moment even more memorable. I recommend Casa da Saúde da Boavista with complete confidence.

I want to express my immense gratitude to Marlene Ferreira. Her high level of competence, rigor, promptness, and empathy were fundamental in securing an urgent consultation and guaranteeing my father's direct admission… to Intensive Care with all the necessary tests properly arranged. I also want to highlight the professionalism and sensitivity of Ana from the Treasury and the exemplary dedication of Nurse Rafael. All administrative coordination and triage operate with absolute rigor in emergency situations. Although the outcome was very painful, the human touch in this institution was a huge comfort. The empathy shown by everyone provides essential support during the most difficult moments. A leading healthcare facility that combines high ethical and medical competence with respect and care for the patient.

Jussara Freitas de carvalho Pires6 months ago

I didn't like the consultation with Dr. Pedro Jorge. I paid €80 for the appointment and left feeling humiliated. That doctor wouldn't let my daughter use the children's bathroom. I noticed it was racism, and mind you,… he was recommended to me as one of the best doctors, but that's not what I saw. His actions made me feel humiliated, and I won't be going back there.

I had knee surgery a month ago performed by an excellent team led by Professor Dr. Manuel Gutierrez.

Throughout the entire process, I felt and observed ethics, morality, and emotion.
