A local reference point: Al Masarra Hospital

Oman’s Ministry of Health describes Al Masarra Hospital in Muscat Governorate as providing psychiatric and addiction services. Its official page separates addiction treatment, outpatient contacts and rehabilitation services. Ask the hospital about the assessment and referral route applicable to your circumstances.

What to establish locally

Ask about clinical assessment, referral requirements, admission criteria, the treatment setting, language support and fees. Confirm whether a quoted service is delivered at the stated address and whether it is appropriate for the person’s needs. This is a starting guide, not a complete list of local providers.

When comparing treatment abroad

For Oman residents considering treatment abroad, discuss how follow-up will work after returning to Muscat or another governorate. Confirm the clinician, appointment location, record-sharing arrangements and any limits on cross-border remote care before committing to a programme.

Overseas care is not automatically more appropriate. A qualified clinician should assess the required level of care. For an immediate medical or psychiatric emergency, use local emergency services rather than waiting for an international admission.
