Alcohol addiction Treatment in Zeus Centro Terapéutico
About the clinic
Alcohol addiction treatment at ZEUS Centro Terapéutico in Tarragona, Spain, follows a specialized residential recovery model. The clinic holds the European Award in Medicine 2024 for the Best Addiction Treatment Center in Europe and was founded in 1980 by Luis Pérez. Recovery programs at this facility focus on treating the root causes of alcoholism through a multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, doctors, and therapists who provide 24/7 care.
Diagnostics and assessment
Recovery begins with a detailed evaluation to understand the patient’s physical and mental state. The medical team uses these findings to create a personalized recovery path.
- Initial assessment. This first evaluation determines the level of dependency and medical needs.
- Psychiatric consultation. Dr. Pablo Garcés and the psychiatric team review the patient's mental health.
- Psychological evaluation. This identifies emotional triggers and behavioral patterns.
- Dual diagnosis evaluation. The team checks for co-occurring disorders like depression or anxiety alongside the addiction.
Treatment options and techniques
The clinic uses the Zeus Method, which is a three-phase program involving detoxification, dishabituation, and social reintegration. Patients stay in a therapeutic community located in the Delta del Ebro natural environment or in private luxury suites.
- Inpatient alcohol detoxification. This involves medically supervised withdrawal management. Doctors provide pharmacological support to safely minimize withdrawal symptoms.
- Zeus Method rehabilitation program. This protocol includes individual therapy, group sessions, and workshops to design a new life plan.
- Zeus Cetro recovery module. This nature-based program includes equine therapy, yoga, mindfulness, and pet therapy. It provides 18 weekly social skills workshops.
- Zeus Corona recovery module. A private luxury stay for those needing confidentiality. It includes private suites and allows patients to maintain professional contacts.
- Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). This non-invasive brain stimulation helps with emotional regulation during the recovery process.
- Dual diagnosis treatment. This program treats addiction and mental health disorders at the same time.
Recovery support and aftercare
Long-term sobriety is supported through remote options and lifetime follow-up care. The clinic operates nine delegations across Spain to help patients after they leave the residential center. Patients receive free weekly online relapse prevention sessions for life. This provides direct contact with a psychologist and the clinic from anywhere in the world. For those who cannot travel to Tarragona, the clinic also offers online detoxification therapy as a remote alternative.
