About Camino Recovery
Camino Recovery, located near Málaga on Spain’s southern coast, empowers clients with substance use, behavioural, and mental health challenges to improve their quality of life, reduce unnecessary pain, and regain independence. Their intimate, private-pay residential programme includes medically supervised detox and is limited to just eight clients at a time. With a minimum stay of 30 days, clients spend between one and three months immersed in healing among the serene Andalusian mountain villages and the nearby Mediterranean coastline. Many leave feeling rejuvenated and equipped to face life’s challenges in a healthier, more grounded way.

To quiet the mind and strengthen the body, additional holistic treatments include massage, meditation, acupuncture, and personal fitness training.
Bring Joy Back into Family Relationships

Gain Emotional Insight with Equine Therapy
