Sierra Recovery treats alcohol and drug dependence with a clear, phased approach: medical detox coordinated through a local hospital, followed by the residential programme where therapists work with clients to uncover the roots of their addiction. The intimate, 22 guest clinic requires a minimum of a 14-day stay, although most clients benefit from a longer period of time.

Discover a New Path of Purpose

Sierra Recovery offers a warm path back to oneself—a deliberately small, deeply personal programme where every day is focused on rebuilding meaning, connection, and purpose beyond addiction. Blending science-based clinical care with restorative body-mind practices so clients address both the story of their addiction and the sensations that keep it alive. Because the care is delivered by a small, English-speaking team, many specialising in trauma and addiction, clients get the clinical rigour and attention to make real changes.

Enjoy Mountain-Fresh Tranquillity

In a secluded corner of Malaga, this centre offers privacy and peace—a place where healing unfolds surrounded by breathtaking mountain views. Clients stay in beautiful single rooms, all designed to give them personal space for reflection and rest. The centre has a ranch-style feel, blending luxury with rustic charm. Beyond the rooms, their amenities are meant to nurture body and mind with sparkling swimming pools, tennis and basketball courts, and winding trails that lead straight into the mountains.

Sustain Lasting Connections

Healing doesn’t end when clients leave Malaga Hills—it’s the beginning of a new chapter of support and connection. After treatment, clients are invited to sustain their growth through weekly aftercare sessions, in-person or virtual aftercare groups, a weekly family group, and the option to continue one-to-one counselling. If clients are transitioning back home, Sierra arranges seamless handovers, so they’re never alone on their journey.

Engage in Collaborative Family Healing Sessions
Engage in Collaborative Family Healing Sessions
Family members can join for short visits—so they can observe treatment, take part in family therapy, and learn practical ways to support recovery at home. These shared sessions create a non-judgmental space where misunderstandings can be cleared and families receive clear education about addiction and triggers. With therapists leading conversations, families leave with concrete skills for the return home.
Experience a Fulfilling Day
Experience a Fulfilling Day
Each day opens with a gentle planning circle where residents name a small goal—a warm-up that sets an intention and reshapes the day. Later in the morning, clients shift into deeper process groups where honest work is done, followed by a psycho-education session. After lunch, clients participate in music, art, equine, or nature-based therapy. Next is dinner, followed by low-key evening activities—lounging by the pool, a tennis match, or a slow walk across the grounds.
Feel Supported by Expert Clinicians
Feel Supported by Expert Clinicians
Clients go through a deeply well-designed programme that’s all about real healing, crafted by high-qualified professionals who genuinely care. Every part of the experience is carefully planned to help people understand themselves better and work through difficult emotions. And all of their psychologists are fully qualified, many with advanced training in clinical psychology—so they have the knowledge and experience to help clients make real progress.
Discover Healing through Horses
Discover Healing through Horses
Equine therapy offers clients a profound way to heal through connection, presence, and trust. Set in the hills of Malaga, these sessions are not about riding or training, but about engaging with the horses in a safe space. In guided sessions, clients groom, lead, or simply stand quietly with the horses. These interactions reduce stress and encourage emotional regulation. Many describe the experience as “being seen” in a way that is grounding and healing.
