The Bridge is a residential rehabilitation centre located in Andalusia, Southern Spain. Established in 2019, the centre provides structured care for adults affected by alcohol dependence, drug misuse, prescription medication issues, gambling addiction, and eating disorders. Treatment is delivered in a residential setting designed for individuals seeking focused support away from daily environments.
Treatment Approach
The Bridge operates an abstinence-based treatment model that combines structured clinical input with holistic elements. The centre is family run and shaped by more than three decades of personal and professional involvement in addiction recovery, which informs programme design and therapeutic priorities.
Residential programmes typically run for 30 days, with medically supported detoxification available on-site when clinically appropriate. Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual, taking into account substance use history, behavioural patterns, mental health needs, and personal circumstances. Primary and secondary care stages may be combined to support a gradual transition back to everyday life.
Therapy and Clinical Support
Therapeutic care at The Bridge includes a mix of individual and group-based interventions. Evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused therapy, and structured group work form the core of the programme. Sessions focus on understanding patterns linked to addiction and developing practical coping strategies.
The clinical team works with clients experiencing co-occurring conditions, including eating disorders and behavioural addictions. Mental health support is integrated into treatment planning, with therapy schedules adapted to reflect emotional regulation needs, relapse awareness, and long-term stability following residential care.
