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. 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. 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. 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.
