About The Bridge Marbella
The Bridge is a family-run treatment center in Marbella specializing in drug and alcohol dependency, gambling and sex addiction, and eating disorders. Their boutique, abstinence-based programme is designed for clients aged 17+ who are ready to do the work of recovery—offering intentionally small groups and a high staff-to-client ratio. With detox, residential, dayhab, and online options, clients receive focused care in a nurturing, private setting where every element is shaped around comfort, safety, and personal growth. Clients may stay for as little as two weeks (if detox isn’t needed), though a minimum one-month stay is recommended for better outcomes.
Build Mental, Emotional, and Physical Strength
Each client receives a tailored treatment plan with a wide range of techniques and activities. One-to-one and group sessions include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), trauma therapy and experiential therapy. Clients also benefit from family liaisons and support, in-house yoga and Pilates, body image workshops, 12-Step meetings and nutritional rehabilitation. Alongside these core treatment options, they offer equine therapy, guided meditation, and daily walks.
Feel the Power of Vitamin Sea
The region boasts 300 days of sunshine, proximity to the sea, and abundant nature, which all serve to boost the mood daily and on excursions. The Bridge’s luxury residence offers spacious en-suite rooms, serene gardens, and a pool for relaxation or exercise. With tremendous support staff—a private chef, concierge, chauffeur, personal trainer and more—providing the utmost hospitality and discretion, clients feel cared for and fully at ease throughout their recovery journey.
Avoid the Rehab-Relapse-Rehab Cycle
Aftercare is central to The Bridge’s mission—providing the skills and support needed to act as a bridge back into normal life. Their team works hard to ensure sustained progress after residential treatment by setting up support networks, offering practical tools, continuing therapy sessions for up to 8 weeks, and providing dayhab and online support.

Protect a Career While Prioritising Health
The Bridge is well-suited for executives needing flexibility and discretion. Clients benefit from WiFi access, private space, and time to focus. Treatment can be framed as a holiday, with continued remote care after returning. Alternatively, the team can liaise with employers to safeguard jobs and ensure special allowances as they would with an illness.
Escape the Familiar to Begin Again
Receiving treatment abroad at The Bridge provides the physical distance needed for clarity and change. Clients gain perspective away from familiar triggers and routines. With regular, affordable flights to Andalusia from the UK and Europe, The Bridge can also provide a sober companion for the journey—helping clients begin their healing journey with reassurance.
Rise Above Destructive Urges
The Bridge offers personalised gambling and sex addiction treatment that gets to the root cause and deals with any trauma that could be lying behind such addictions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and 1:1 sessions help clients understand compulsions, manage triggers, and regain control with simple, but effective techniques.
Develop Fitness, Nutrition & Sleep Habits
The Bridge prioritises whole-person healing through physical fitness, nourishing meals, and restful sleep. Clients benefit from 1:1 and group exercise sessions, yoga, and nutrition coaching to improve mood, strength, and body image. Personalised sleep coaching helps identify barriers to quality sleep and restores rest—empowering clients with tools to greatly improve quality of life.
