Camino Recovery is a residential rehabilitation centre located near Málaga on Spain’s southern coast. Established in 2008, the family-run clinic provides treatment for drug and alcohol dependence, behavioural addictions, and co-occurring mental health conditions within a private residential setting. Care is delivered in a structured environment designed to support clinical focus, stability, and personal engagement.
Treatment Approach
Camino Recovery delivers residential treatment supported by intensive outpatient options and specialist yacht-based programmes. Treatment is trauma-informed and holistic, addressing psychological health, emotional regulation, and physical wellbeing together rather than as separate elements.
On-site detox services are available where clinically appropriate, allowing continuity between medical stabilisation and therapy. Programmes typically begin at 28 days and may extend based on individual progress and clinical recommendation. Small group sizes allow treatment to remain flexible and responsive, with plans shaped around personal history, mental health presentation, and recovery goals.
Therapy and Clinical Support
Therapeutic care combines individual and group work, with trauma processing forming a central component of treatment. Interventions include EMDR, equine-assisted therapy, relapse prevention planning, individual psychotherapy, and structured group sessions.
Psychiatric support is available to assist clients managing conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD, personality-related difficulties, and family systems challenges. Therapy balances clinical depth with practical skill development, supporting emotional awareness, coping strategies, and healthier patterns of behaviour during residential care.
Programmes and Services
Camino Recovery offers a range of structured treatment services:
- Residential Treatment Programme
- 12-Step–Informed Programme
- Holistic and Wellness Services
- Continuing Care Programme
- Family Programme
The family programme runs over four or five days and includes process groups, educational sessions, and therapeutic meetings. It focuses on communication, boundaries, and understanding family dynamics connected to addiction and recovery.
Accommodation and Environment
The centre is set in an elevated area of Andalucía with panoramic views across the surrounding countryside. The location provides privacy and calm while remaining accessible from Málaga.
Accommodation consists of individually designed luxury suites with private en-suite bathrooms. Communal areas support daily routines, therapy sessions, and shared activities. Outdoor facilities include a swimming pool, terraces, and walled gardens surrounded by palm trees, offering space for reflection, rest, and gentle activity within the daily schedule.
Aftercare and Ongoing Support
Continuing care planning begins during treatment and is developed collaboratively between the client and therapist. Support focuses on maintaining structure and connection following residential care and supporting reintegration into daily life.
Aftercare may include regular clinical check-ins, access to outpatient services, family programme participation, and online alumni groups. Ongoing contact with Camino Recovery staff supports continuity, while individual plans may involve external clinicians, fellowship meetings, or sponsorship, depending on personal circumstances and recovery needs.
