Centre Description

Addiction Treatment in Spain

Most treatment centres provide good care for the recovering alcoholic but very few offer a structured programme designed not only to recover from drugs and alcohol, but to learn the ability to stay away from a drink or a drug one day at a time for the rest of their life.

Serenity house was founded by alcoholics and drug users specifically for those who want to rid themselves of addiction. Our clients are taught by trained counsellors who are recovered from addiction themselves, who counsel and share their experience of how they stay sober.

Our Treatment centre is run in conjunction with a Holistic Retreat, managed by the owner, a recovered alcoholic himself of some year’s sobriety. Situated on a very private small working estate, in the tranquil and picturesque border area of Andalucia and Cadiz, Southern Spain. It was chosen specifically to be away from population centres to give our clients the ability to start their recovery without distraction from every day life.

Surrounded by orange and lemon groves our clients work their 4 week "programme of recovery" to start a new life free of the burden of alcohol and drugs. The treatment centre allows the client to start from the beginning, learning about their individuality and developing the ability to take control of their addiction.

The maximum number of clients is strictly limited to 6 persons in this recovery centre; this is because alcohol recovery needs a great deal of personal counselling if it is to work effectively. Clients agree to work on the estate undertaking light duties; this assists their progress in their recovery.

Many clients travel from the UK and Europe to the Serenity house in Puerto Serrano because it removes them from the environment where their alcoholism and Drug addiction exists. This is the beginning of retraining the character to cope without alcohol and drugs in the future.

Physical

It is well known that the addictive personality’s body functions are chemically different from most other people; they produce insufficient quantities of the enzymes necessary to break alcohol down effectively. This can have the affect of making this type of personality more susceptible to alcoholism and drug abuse.

The body can take between one and three years to recover from alcohol and drug abuse, even then there can be some damage that cannot be repaired. The liver is the only organ in the body that can to some degree, repair itself. When treatment begins the state of the body and mind is such that very little mental coordination can be achieved until the fog has lifted. This can take two to three weeks after alcohol and any detoxification has left the body. During this time the mind is not fully receptive to any new teachings given. There are some physical/alternative treatments that can speed the healing process that will make the mind more readily receptive and accept information quickly. Treatments such as Reiki, Crystal and Colour therapies can be affective and aid recovery. The faster the body heals the faster the mind becomes receptive to training.

Emotional

A series of lectures are delivered to help the patient understand about their alcoholism and drug abuse, why alcohol or drugs react differently with them and how they are built chemically different from “normal” people. These lectures are designed to help the patient come to terms with their addictive and emotional nature, what drives them and how to turn a destructive addictive personality, to a constructive lively member of society.

Spiritual

To a certain degree, because we are delving into the emotional nature of the patient some normality returns. A deeper understanding of their self will, and self centeredness and the cause and affect this lack of morality through abuse has on those people around them, will create an awakening, giving the patient a far more moral fortitude than they have experienced before.
