Instituto S. João de Deus - Funchal
About Instituto S. João de Deus – Funchal
Instituto S. João de Deus – Funchal is a psychiatric hospital in Santo António, Funchal, on the island of Madeira, run by the Hospitaller Order of St John of God since 1924. Six areas are stated: psychiatry; alcohol, addictive behaviours and dependencies; psychosocial rehabilitation; continuing care; physical rehabilitation; and dementia.
Known historically as Casa de Saúde do Trapiche, the hospital admitted its first patient in October 1923 on the former Quinta do Trapiche and describes itself as Madeira’s regional reference for mental health, addictive behaviours and psychosocial rehabilitation. The addiction area follows the Instituto S. João de Deus model: inpatient programmes for severe dependence, clinical risk or where safe detox is needed, with outpatient treatment, a day unit or structured follow-up otherwise, and treatment is always voluntary. Continuing care within the RNCCI includes autonomy-training residences and a home support service. The hospital obtained EQUASS Excellence certification in 2024. First contact is through 291 741 032 or geral.funchal@isjd.pt.

How Much Does Treatment at Instituto S. João de Deus – Funchal Cost?
Published prices for Instituto S. João de Deus – Funchal weren’t found. Alcohol and dependency programmes run privately and in articulation with the SNS and the Serviço Regional de Saúde da Madeira, with no fee schedule given. Private psychiatric inpatient care costs €6,000 to €16,500 a month and day programmes €3,500 to €7,500 a month; contact the hospital for pricing.
RNCCI continuing care responses on the island are integrated with the regional network, and the hospital works with the Serviço Regional de Saúde da Madeira, so some admissions are arranged through public referral rather than paid directly. Which arrangement applies depends on how you or a loved one is referred; raise funding with the team on 291 741 032 at the first call and ask whether outpatient or day-unit treatment changes the cost.

RehabSeekers hosts reviews for the hospital, and anyone who has been treated here, or has supported a relative through a programme, is welcome to share their experience.

A published testimonial on the operator’s site mentions the art atelier, and more voices on daily life at Trapiche would help you or someone you care about decide.
Exceptional
A very well-maintained hospital where patients receive peace and good care.
It's been my sweet home since the unfortunate day I was born, I love it!
Hospitality and care
Terrible phone service...it's easier to call the Pope than the health clinic.
I'm tired of calling dozens of times, only for the call to drop after a while, leaving me unable to speak to anyone or find out anything about my relative who's training there. This strange situation hasn't been easy at… all; please pay attention to this problem. Thank you.
