About Camino Recovery
COVID-19 Update (May 2, 2020): Camino Recovery remains open and is accepting new clients, and with significant measures in place to protect the safety and wellbeing of our clients. We have temporarily suspended off-site activities and visitors, while increasing options for on-site physical exercise. They are taking all the safety precautions as recommended by the COVID-19 requirements.
Located in an impressive Cortijo below the stunning Sierra de Tejeda mountain range, Camino Recovery is a tranquil retreat on Southern Spain’s Andalucian coast.
The intimacy of this family run centre means that a high degree of personal attention is a given amdist a compassionate and caring environment, in a way that is often lost in larger facilities. Clients’ own families also have a significant part to play in the process and are encouraged to take part in an extensive 5 day family programme that is unique to Camino Recovery.
Each member of the clinical team is qualified to at least Masters level and bring over 80 years of knowledge and experience from both USA and Europe using such diverse treatments as Equine Assisted therapy and EMDR in conjunction with a range of traditional and well established therapeutic processes.
While Camino’s sunny and peaceful surroundings are ideal for recovery, what sets Camino apart is its unique therapeutic process in the fields of behavioural health, process addiction and trauma treatment which is unrivalled in Europe.
Effective Equine Therapy
Camino Recovery specializes in equine assisted psychotherapy (EAP). In fact, their program director, Don Lavender, is a pioneer in the development of the therapy. Through interactions between the horse and the client, a therapist can help the client work through issues, often more effectively than talk therapy.

Testimonial
The friendly attitude of the people made me feel comfortable from the start, and the beautiful surroundings added to the benevolent atmosphere that gave me the courage to tackle the hard business of recovery. The therapeutic staff proved to be excellent, and I found the whole setup professional and mature. I made more progress towards a lasting recovery in my 4 weeks than in the whole 8 weeks I spent at my first treatment centre.
