Behavioural Health Treatment...
Sierra Recovery offers specialist process addiction treatment in the calm highlands of Málaga, Spain. Addiction to sex, video games, gambling, and the internet may jeopardise mental, emotional, and physical health. We provide expert-level services and compassionate environments to help you find balance, fulfilment, and better habits.
Why Choose Sierra Recovery for Behavioural Therapy?
Tailored Behavioural Therapies
Our evidence-based behavioural treatments treat process addictions including gambling, sex, video game, and internet addictions.
CBT identifies and changes problematic thinking patterns and behaviours that cause compulsive activities. We provide Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), which improves emotional regulation and interpersonal efficacy to manage addiction-related behaviours. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) promotes psychological flexibility and values-aligned behaviour.
We use EMDR to treat emotional and psychological triggers for deeper trauma related to these behaviours. Our specialists lead therapy to break negative patterns, establish coping skills, and foster better behaviours for long-term recovery.
Holistic Healing in Nature
Our secluded mountain location offers a calm environment free from the distractions and stresses of daily life, thus ideal for the healing from process addictions including gambling, sex, video games, and internet addiction.
We augment conventional treatments with nature-based approaches, including equine-assisted psychotherapy. Essential for overcoming addictive behaviours and laying a basis for long-lasting recovery, these therapeutic interactions with horses help create emotional awareness, reestablish trust, and help shape better relationship patterns.
Comprehensive and Affordable Care
We have established fair and accessible rates to make sure that our exceptional treatments for process addictions, like gambling, sex, video game, and internet addictions, are within reach for everyone who needs support. At a fraction of the cost of comparable programmes in the UK or Europe, our all-encompassing approach to treating mental health disorders, which addresses the physical, psychological, and emotional aspects of recovery, helps individuals find their way out of addictive behaviours and build a strong basis for a better, more balanced life.
Tailored Treatments for Process Addictions
Gambling Addiction
Compulsive gambling can deeply disrupt a person’s finances, relationships, and emotional well-being, leading to chronic stress and despair. Mental health and behavioural health therapy can help people identify the underlying patterns driving compulsive gambling. Using CBT, commonly used as a treatment for such addictions, we guide individuals to uncover triggers, replace harmful actions with healthy behaviours, and regain control over their lives.
Our approach fosters resilience, builds thinking patterns that encourage accountability, and creates a path toward financial stability and emotional recovery. By addressing the emotional and psychological challenges head-on, we help you find a way back to joy and balance.
Sex Addiction
Sex addiction can create a challenging mix of emotional and behavioural issues, leaving individuals feeling alone and burdened by their experiences. Behavioural therapy serves as a comprehensive approach to gaining insight into these compulsive behaviours.
We provide support through therapies like CBT, DBT, and personalised counselling, designed to help individuals explore and understand root causes such as past traumatic events, depression, or unresolved psychological triggers. In our supportive and understanding space, you are invited to share your thoughts openly, develop positive relationship habits, and rediscover your sense of empowerment and value. Healing here goes beyond just treatment; it focuses on restoring your quality of life.
Video Game Addiction
Excessive gaming can interfere with relationships, work, and personal health, leaving individuals feeling trapped in a cycle they cannot break. For those experiencing this common behavioural challenge, we combine therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and CBT, both designed to build coping mechanisms and ease dependency.
These approaches help individuals gain insight into their emotional triggers, such as social anxiety or escapism, and provide tools to develop healthy behaviours and reconnect with life beyond the screen. With help from our healthcare professionals, we aim to stop dependency from interfering with daily living, enabling you to regain balance and purpose.
Internet Addiction
Whether for online shopping, limitless browsing, or binge media consumption, abuse of digital platforms can compromise emotional well-being and your capacity to remain present in life’s most significant events. Under the broad term “therapy,” methods include mindfulness exercises to assist individuals in breaking free from these tendencies.
Through cognitive behavioural therapy and other proven techniques, we also provide ways to set digital boundaries and develop healthy behaviours. Collaborating with clients, our focus is to ensure that each person emerges with the tools to maintain a balanced relationship with technology and enrich their quality of life.
