Choosing to begin addiction treatment is a courageous decision, one that can change your life in the most powerful way. If you’re considering attending a 28-day rehab program in Spain, you might be wondering: What exactly happens during those four weeks? Will it be all therapy and rules, or is there space for rest, healing, and personal growth?
The good news is that a high-quality rehab program in Spain combines evidence-based treatment with a peaceful, supportive environment; often in beautiful, sunny surroundings. Whether you’re seeking recovery from substance abuse, mental health struggles, or both, here’s a breakdown of what to expect at InnerLife Recovery during your 28-day journey
Week 1: Detox, Stabilization & Assessment
First, your recovery starts with a private consultation. Our licensed specialists will evaluate your medical history, substance use patterns, and mental health needs. On arrival, you will be picked up from the airport and our doctor will do a medical diagnosis and blood works to determine the best treatment plan for you along with our licensed therapists and psychiatrist.
For many clients, the first few days involve in-house detoxification, especially if there is physical dependency on alcohol, opioids, or other substances. Detox is supervised by licensed professionals to ensure safety, comfort, and minimal withdrawal symptoms.
Key components of Week 1 include:
- Medical assessment and psychiatric evaluation
- Detox supervision with 24/7 nursing support, if needed
- Introduction to the program structure, fully personalised, and team
- Orientation sessions to get familiar with your new environment
- Light therapy sessions to begin building trust and understanding
The goal of the first week is to stabilize you physically and emotionally so that you’re ready to fully engage with the therapeutic process.
Week 2: Deep Therapeutic Work Begins
Once stabilized, you’ll begin the heart of your recovery work. As Spain’s leading rehab center, we offer a mix of traditional psychotherapy and holistic healing practices.
Therapeutic elements often include:
- Individual therapy or counselling sessions
- Group therapy, where you’ll connect with others on similar journeys
- Psychoeducation workshops (on addiction, trauma, relapse prevention, etc.)
- Holistic activities such as Holotropic Beathwork, Meditation, Yoga, Sound Therapy, Trauma Release Exercise (TRE), Art Therapy, Nature Therapy and more.
- Specialized therapy for co-occurring disorders (like anxiety, depression, or PTSD)
Spain’s tranquil environment – sunshine, nature, and Mediterranean calm – offers a unique advantage: it promotes nervous system regulation and emotional healing in ways urban or clinical settings can’t always provide.
Week 3: Rebuilding Self & Learning New Skills
Now that some of the deeper issues are being addressed, Week 3 typically shifts focus to rebuilding your sense of self and preparing you for life outside of treatment. You’ll work on:
- Coping strategies for managing cravings and stress
- Emotional regulation techniques through mindfulness, yoga, and breathwork
- Nutrition and fitness, often supported by on-site chefs and personal trainers
- Family involvement or family therapy, either in person or virtually (if desired)
- Creative therapies like art, music, journaling, or equine-assisted therapy
This is a transformative stage. Many clients begin to feel a sense of hope, clarity, and even joy returning.
Week 4: Planning for Life After Rehab
The final week is all about relapse prevention and aftercare planning. Recovery doesn’t end at discharge, this stage helps ensure you have a strong support system and practical tools in place.
During Week 4, you’ll:
- Develop a personal relapse prevention plan
- Finalize your lifetime aftercare recommendations (online therapy, sober coaching)
- Identify local support groups or therapists in your home area
- Possibly reconnect with family through structured family programs
- Reflect on your growth and prepare for the transition
