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.
Camino Recovery’s high-calibre therapists bring deep expertise in treating co-occurring conditions and dual diagnosis, integrating a range of evidence-based therapies into each client’s personalised programme. Methods include talk therapy, artistic expression, education, 12-Step facilitation, and more. Clients benefit from both individual and group therapy, focusing on what matters to them personally while gaining insight from shared experiences. To quiet the mind and strengthen the body, additional holistic treatments include massage, meditation, acupuncture, and personal fitness training.
Addiction is a family illness, impacting not just the client but their entire support system. Camino Recovery’s 4- or 5-day Healing the Family workshop helps families overcome pain and dysfunction, no matter the severity. Through an emotional yet transformative process, families gain the tools to heal, grow, and rebuild stronger, healthier relationships.
Within 30 minutes of Málaga International Airport, Camino Recovery's tranquil residence offers panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and Tejeda Mountains. Their private and shared suites, each with a spacious ensuite, ensure comfort and rest. Clients can unwind in walled gardens, by the palm-lined pool, or with alfresco dining featuring fresh, locally sourced cuisine. While technology use is structured, individual needs are considered to maintain both flexibility and clinical excellence.
