Camino Recovery
About Camino Recovery
Camino Recovery is an intentionally small, family-run treatment centre with nearly two decades of experience treating addiction, trauma, and co-occurring mental health conditions. Clients coming from abroad discover discreet, clinically rigorous care, with a high staff-to-client ratio that provides a level of personal attention rarely available elsewhere. Within 30 minutes of Málaga International Airport, clients heal in a breathtaking area of Andalucía where no one needs anything from them.
Engage in Bespoke, Evidence-Based Solutions
Camino’s clinical team aims to help clients become more able to handle life’s complexity and pressure without feeling the need for short-term external fixes. They use a variety of evidence-based treatment approaches, including equine-assisted psychotherapy (EAP), eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), art therapy, and psychodrama. Programmes also embrace experiential therapies and holistic methods including mindfulness, spirituality, yoga, physical wellness, nutrition, sleep hygiene, movement, connection, and long-term personal alignment.
Reset in Seclusion Near Málaga
With its ultra-small census of 7 clients, Camino’s private residential setting provides a powerful reset. Clients find comfort in private or shared suites, and enjoy exquisite cuisine prepared with fresh, local ingredients. The outdoor pool, palm trees, terraces, and walled gardens create a distinctly serene setting. Clients experience more of sunny Andalucía through curated excursions like sailing, hiking, golfing, and visits to picturesque villages, the Picasso Museum, the Alhambra Palace, and the Benálmadena Butterfly Park.
Maintain Momentum with Complimentary Aftercare
Camino Recovery ensures ongoing support to ease the transition home and maximise the chance of a dependence-free life. During treatment, each client and their therapist create a detailed aftercare plan with tailored recommendations for support in the client’s home community. To help them reach recovery milestones, plans often include weekly outpatient services, family programming, relapse prevention workshops, biweekly online alumni meetings, and ongoing staff support by phone.
