Nova Vida Recovery Centre is an English language speaking facility. The treatment programme is entirely in the English language and all medical, clinical and administrative staff use English as their first language.

Nobody reaches this website by mistake.   Either you or a loved one has a problem and you need help or perhaps you are not sure you need help. We can

help you take the next step.   Some would say we are the best treatment centre in Europe staffed by the best therapists and although this is difficult to prove we tend to agree.

Let us tell you why we agree and why you should choose Nova Vida as a facility for your recovery. We will be able to provide you with the information you need to make the decisions. Take a little time to look through our website before making a decision that could change your life or the life of someone you love.

Nova Vida means New Life. Our goal is to put you on that road. We will go the extra mile if you will.

Dependency on a chemical, whether it is alcohol, drugs or behaviours such as gambling, sex or an eating disorder can be treated.  Whatever addiction it is, you or your loved one can get help and we at Nova Vida Recovery Centre hope that our expertise and experience can guide you through the recovery process.

Together we have built up the expertise and experience as well as the professional qualifications and on-going professional development to be able to offer you the best chance of recovery from the treatable illnesses of addiction - alcohol, drugs or behaviours such as gambling, sex or an eating disorder. All our addiction therapists are qualified to a minimum of post graduate level and all therapists engaged in the holistic therapies have an appropriate qualification and accreditation.

Regular visits to the best treatment facilities in the USA and contact with the most knowledgeable addictions professionals has put us in the forefront of treatment delivery in Europe. We offer a highly effective alternative to the traditional conveyor belt treatment within the addictions recovery system.  From start to finish our aim is to ensure you have a smooth and unique experience. This means you will benefit from a hassle free, non-bureaucratic, state of the art treatment that works, is tried and tested, individualised to suit you not the label others have given you.  You will be treated with respect and dignity but live within necessary boundaries to provide you with safety.

Unique, personalised, bespoke are all over-used words in the descriptions of programmes by other facilities but we truly offer you a unique, personalised experience into recovery.  We can do this because we are small, dedicated and experienced.  We know and remember your name! You are not a number or a label. We help you find your way into recovery rather than asking you to follow ours.

We understand the many underlying issues that fuel addiction: trauma, abuse, burnout, low self- esteem, anxiety, loss or grief.

We understand the despair, the frustration, the anger and the pain that addiction brings.  Our web site is designed to take you through the process of recovery, to give you more information on the illness of addiction and its many manifestations.  To inform you on what ‘rehab’ is about and hopefully motivate you to pick up the phone and take the first but most important step of asking for help.  We are all here to help you. But, if we feel we cannot help you for whatever reason we will not keep you but direct you to someone who can help.
