Our Staff
 Treatment Director - Peter

A Psychologist with an innovative approach to treatment and group work as well as individual therapy. Has consulted to Citibank and other major organisations. Has significant experience in addiction counselling and is personally in recovery.
Doctors - Dr. Wolfgang Piller and Dr. Axel Thieke
Both doctors have worked with us for the last five years administering and monitoring our clients needing detoxification and any other medical needs.
Our two doctors are unique in their approach and feedback we get from our clients is extremely positive. Most clients have not come across doctors with any empathy or understanding of their illness and therefore experience some hostility. The experience they have with our doctors is time to talk while receiving understanding and caring, as well as learning the truth about their illness, which is greatly appreciated.
Both doctors visit the centre on a weekly basis to conduct lectures on the physical and medical aspects of the illness of addiction and of course the consequences that can occur.
They also offer nutritional advice, which is paramount when recovering; Dr. Piller specialises in this area. They have a thriving clinic in Almuñecar.
