Rehab 4 Addiction

The residential rehab in Málaga is one of the best of its kind. It boasts great facilities, experienced staff, and perfect weather. There is a swimming pool, luxury accommodation and a great view of the sea.

Why go to rehab in the UK if you can go to rehab in Spain? With the sun shining on our rehab in Málaga, you’ll want to be outside all the time. This will help you to get Vitamin D and improve your mood. Indeed, many of our rehab patients in Málaga report feeling better just because of the weather.

Our rehab team in Málaga have been working with patients in detox for many years. They know how hard it can be to get clean. But they also have the skills to help you through this process.

There are many advantages to going to rehab abroad. Getting clean in a great place can inspire you to make a lasting recovery. It can also broaden your horizons.

Immersing yourself in a different culture can change your outlook. You may find that you learn something from the Spanish way of life.

Getting away from home can also help you to avoid temptation. In Málaga, you will know no one. There will be no triggers to cause you to relapse. This will help you complete your detox and recovery without any slip-ups.

Types of Therapies in Alcohol Rehab

At our rehab in Málaga, you will have access to a range of therapies. We’ve listed the main ones below.

  • Art Therapy. Art therapy is a form of alternative therapy. It involves expressing emotions through art.
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). CBT is one of the most popular forms of therapy in drug and alcohol rehab. It involves spotting negative thoughts before they turn into negative behaviours.It trains your mind to stop and interrogate these thoughts, then turns them into positive ones. Many studies have proven its effectiveness. [1]
  • Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT). Similar to CBT, DBT places an emphasis on acceptance as well as change. It is often used for those who are finding it difficult to control their emotions. It may also be used with those who have had suicidal thoughts.
  • Family Therapy. This is a form of therapy which brings your family into the therapy session. It helps to build bridges between you and your family. It can also help them to understand what you are going through.
  • Holistic Therapy. This is a kind of therapy which focuses on making the mind and body better. It deals with the whole person rather than just one aspect of them. It might focus on things like diet as well as negative behaviours.
  • Music Therapy. Like art therapy, music therapy is a form of expression. Music therapy can involve listening to and creating music.

Why Residential Alcohol Rehab?

There are numerous benefits to residential rehab. Non-residential, or outpatient rehab, is a lot less effective in getting people sober. This is because it is more difficult to keep temptation at bay when you are living at home.

Residential rehab, on the other hand, is a great solution. Here are five reasons why:

It can be more specialised. In a private residential rehab, patients can receive specialist care from medical professionals. Patients can also choose the residential rehab which best suits their needs.

For example, a patient with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) might choose to go to a residential rehab which provides DBT. DBT has been shown to be effective for those with BPD. [2]

Less temptation. As mentioned above, it is difficult to avoid temptation in an outpatient programme. However, when you are living away from home, especially in our alcohol rehab in Málaga, there is less temptation.

You are miles away from drug-using friends, past dealers, or local haunts which might trigger you into using:

  • Good medical care: Going through detox is hard. Alcohol detoxes, in particular, put a lot of strain on the body. Detoxing at home is a very bad idea, and can even be dangerous. Detoxing under the care of professionals is a much better plan. They will make sure you stay fit and healthy.
  • A supportive place: Our medical team in the drug and alcohol rehab in Málaga are kind and friendly. They will help you get through the rehab therapy stage of your recovery. They will also help you deal with the emotional strain of detoxing.

More time to yourself. One of the best things about residential rehab is it means you can get away for a while. You don’t need to worry about anything apart from your own recovery. That can be very valuable.

How long will I stay in the rehab centre?

You can stay in our rehab in Málaga for as long as you like. We offer treatment plans that range from short, one-week stays, to a few months. The typical length of stay is between two weeks and a month. This allows time for a detox and rehab.

You might spend a week detoxing, and another few weeks going through therapy. However, there is no set length of time, and you can choose a longer or shorter plan based on your needs.
