About Programa Victoria
Located near Marbella, Spain, Programa Victoria is a 10-day addiction retreat in a spa hotel. It was founded in 1984 by clinical psychologist Bernardo Ruiz Victoria and treats alcohol addiction, cocaine addiction, and other addictive behaviors. It is built for adults who need privacy and cannot leave work or family for months, including executives, professionals, artists, business owners, freelancers, and public-facing clients. Groups usually include 4-8 people, with a maximum of 8.
What Happens in Treatment
Before the retreat at Programa Victoria, clients complete video or in-person sessions to review medical, psychological, social, and motivation factors. The team confirms whether the short retreat format is appropriate. During the 10 days, clients stay at the hotel and take part in psychoeducation, cognitive therapy, relaxation practice, relapse prevention, and work on addictive thinking patterns. Care is handled by a therapeutic, medical, and psychological team. The program is available in Spanish and English.
Cost, Follow-Up, and Fit
The full program at Programa Victoria costs around €10,000 and includes intake sessions, the 10-day retreat, and at least one year of follow-up. Follow-up includes individual, family, and group sessions in person or online, plus phone and message contact. The program is not meant for people who need hospital detox, unstabilized severe mental health care, suicide-risk care, or a long-term dual diagnosis unit. In those cases, the team may refer the person elsewhere.

Men and Women
Men and women attend treatment for addiction in a co-ed setting, going to therapy groups together to share experiences, struggles, and successes.
Professionals
Busy, high-ranking professionals get the personalized treatment they need with greater accommodations for work, privacy, and outside communication.
Approaches
Evidence-Based
A combination of scientifically rooted therapies and treatments make up evidence-based care, defined by their measured and proven results.
Family Involvement
Providers involve family in the treatment of their loved one through family therapy, visits, or both–because addiction is a family disease.
Individual Treatment
Individual care meets the needs of each patient, using personalized treatment to provide them the most relevant care and greatest chance of success.
Medical
Medical addiction treatment uses approved medications to manage withdrawals and cravings, and to treat contributing mental health conditions.
Therapies
1-on-1 Counseling
Patient and therapist meet 1-on-1 to work through difficult emotions and behavioral challenges in a personal, private setting.
Family Therapy
Family therapy addresses group dynamics within a family system, with a focus on improving communication and interrupting unhealthy relationship patterns.
Online Therapy
Patients can connect with a therapist via videochat, messaging, email, or phone. Remote therapy makes treatment more accessible.
Psychoeducation
This method combines treatment with education, teaching patients about different paths toward recovery. This empowers them to make more effective decisions.
Relapse Prevention Counseling
Relapse prevention counselors teach patients to recognize the signs of relapse and reduce their risk.
Relaxation Therapy
Muscle relaxation techniques relax mind and body. They can easily be practiced outside treatment, making it a valuable coping tool for continued recovery.
