Treatment Programme in Spain Stage 1 - Detox & Assessment Stage 2 - Intensive Treatment Stage 3 - Into Action Stage 4 - Working Together

Stage 1 - Detox & Assessment

On arrival our medical team examines each patient in order to ensure that the most appropriate detoxification regime is prescribed.

This covers all mood-altering chemicals including opiates, alcohol, stimulants including crack cocaine and various designer drugs. General health levels are observed simultaneously to ensure patients are in no immediate physical danger.

The comfort of our patients is paramount and medication to help ease withdrawal is normally necessary.

Detoxification usually takes a maximum of two weeks.

During the course of this, a focal counsellor will be allocated to the case who together with the medical team and patient prepare an initial assessment of the latter’s particular needs, psychological state and circumstances. An on-going care plan is mounted on this basis.

Light involvement in the daily group therapy sessions is initiated and the concept of acceptance (Step 1 of the Twelve Step Programme) is addressed.

The Perry Clayman Clinic’s philosophy is that addiction is an illness.

After completing detoxification, the patient is then introduced to Stage 2 of the treatment.

Stage 1 – Denial: confronting denial in order to help
recognize and accept addiction.

Stage 2 – Hope: recognizing ability to change and the 12
steps as the vehicle for change.

Stage 3 – Trust: commitment to change.

Stage 4 – Review: reflecting on past behaviour and
acknowledging an ability to lead a life of abstinence.
