In common with many organisations Nova Vida Recovery Centre has a statement of purpose or ‘Mission Statement’ which guides the actions, spells out its overall goals, provides a sense of direction and guides decision making for  all who work for the Centre. A synopsis of the Mission Statement is below with a full copy

available on request from the Sally, the Business Development Manager.


“The Nova Vida Recovery Centre of the Silves region of the Algarve is a therapeutic residential facility specialising in the treatment of adults who are experiencing the consequences of dependency on alcohol, drugs and addictive behaviours.

The Nova Vida programme is uniquely designed to consider an individual’s needs in an environment that preserves their privacy, dignity and respect, whilst focusing on the expert treatment necessary to enable self-discovery and recovery.

The staff of Nova Vida aim to offer unsurpassed individual attention, effective evidence based care and treatment. The multidisciplinary team provides professional therapeutic intervention, which will be complemented by a high standard of administration and support services. We will provide a solid network of communication between referral sources, patients, clinicians and administrators, which will ensure a seamless transition from the moment of enquiry, through treatment and on to aftercare services”.
