Nova Vida provides you with quiet time away from the stress and distractions of modern day living. This quiet time can be used for reflection, contemplation, meditation and reconsideration of life goals and dreams, essential for creating a new life. A period of time away from the substance, behaviour or trigger is also essential.

Your therapy programme will follow a solid researched based approach. Despite what you may have read elsewhere research over many years has
shown that Group therapy, rather than individual therapy alone, has the most success in the treatment of addictive disorders. In order to provide added support, you will be offered individual therapy sessions when clinically indicated. A lack of knowledge can also be one of the common contributing factors in the development of addiction. Psycho-educational lectures and seminars form an important part of an holistic programme. Underlying issues are also addressed by the professionally qualified clinical team.
Your programme adheres to a 12 Step, abstinence based treatment philosophy. This too, is supported by research. It provides the opportunity to break the cycle of addiction, to address the underlying psychological issues and provide the skills for long term total abstinence. We recognise that some have struggles with the 12 Step concept of recovery. Our promise is that we will work with you on these struggles and if, at the end of treatment, the struggles still persist we will look with you for an alternative way of supporting you in your recovery.
You will be accommodated in separate male and female double occupancy en-suite rooms, thereby ensuring peer support and combating the psychological isolation which is an integral part of this illness. Recreational facilities include a swimming pool, regular access to a fitness centre with a personal trainer and also space for outside team building and therapeutic activities.
We provide a family atmosphere where staff and patients together contribute to a warm and caring environment. Meals take into account the varied and individual needs of our clientele and are prepared by our experienced team.
Your anticipated length of stay will be determined by your personal circumstances with the majority of Patients staying between 32 and 56 days. Professional assessments, to determine the best pathway and level of care for your individualised treatment plan are discussed with you on admission. Clinical assessment and reassessment continues throughout your stay as part of your care-plan.
Aftercare facilities have been established on the Algarve and in London and Holland to help sustain recovery at home. Aftercare continues for as long as it takes.
