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.

Spain, Sant Joan del Pas
ZEUS Centro Terapéutico is a private detox and mental health center in Tarragona, Spain. Founded in 1980 by Luis Pérez, the facility treats addictions and mental health disorders. The center operates through two recovery modules: Zeus Cetro and Zeus Corona. The clinical team provides 24/7 medical supervision and individualized therapeutic support.
Key Achievements and Recognition
The clinic has earned several honors for its addiction recovery programs. It was named the Best Addiction Treatment Center in Europe by the European Awards in Medicine. The center also received the Mejor Centro de España award from Madrid's health authorities. ZEUS Centro Terapéutico holds health register entry H43757538, confirming compliance with national medical standards.
Specialties and Therapeutic Methods
The clinic uses a multidisciplinary approach led by psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists. Treatment programs address the root causes of addiction and mental health struggles. The center focuses on three main directions:
- Narcology and Alcoholism: Specialists manage detox from cocaine, cannabis, benzodiazepines, and alcohol.
- Psychiatry: The team treats dual pathology – mental health disorders like anxiety and depression alongside addiction.
- Rehabilitation: Programs focus on dishabituation, helping patients build healthy habits and rebuild social and professional skills.
The "Zeus Method" has two distinct phases. Phase 1 focuses on medical detox and withdrawal management, sometimes with pharmacological support.

Physical activity is a primary tool to prevent substance use. The center runs 18 weekly workshops on social skills and emotional intelligence.

We have a child who is a drug addict. I had never had any contact with drugs in my entire life, and I never imagined that our family would have to face a problem like this. For me, drug addicts were people I only ever saw in movies—beings from another world, as distant as the moon. Suddenly, we had this troublesome person in our family: someone who couldn’t integrate, who was violent toward his parents and his sister. It was, simply, a huge problem that I only wanted to disappear. You can ignore something like this for a while, but in the end it always comes back. In fact, I had already given up; I was convinced there was nothing to be done and I didn’t see any viable solution. In the end, it was my wife who took charge. She found the Centro Zeus in Spain and contacted them. Somehow, she managed to convince—maybe even persuade—our son to go to the Centro Zeus. I didn’t have many hopes that things would change. As a father, I stayed on the sidelines; my wife handled most of the communication with the therapists and spoke with our son through Teams. I have to admit—contrary to what I expected—that the Centro Zeus team seems to have achieved a real positive change. It’s likely that there’s still a long road ahead—after all, ten years of drug use doesn’t disappear in just a few weeks—but I find it admirable that the Centro Zeus team is able to lead someone onto a new path and give them the mental tools they need to recognize dangers and avoid them in the future. I believe the staff at Centro Zeus enabled a transformation that my wife and I wouldn’t have been able to start on our own. Thank you very much.

Zeus gave my son his life back. I thank the effort and hard work of all the workers at Zeus who made this possible. Thank you, and please continue with this work so necessary.

My goodness, I’ve just seen the news about the complaint against Zeus and I can’t believe what I’m reading. I’ve been in treatment for 25 months; of those, 13 months at home, following the guidelines they say in the article include “punishments” 😱. And all I can do is thank them, because each guideline has helped me overcome my difficulties. But there are people who don’t want to take the path to recovery, or overcome their difficulties in order to make this personal change that the treatment represents. Instead, they do what a “good addict” is used to doing: looking for someone to blame for their failures— in this case, blaming their inability to recover and blaming the center.

Frank is a great professional and an even better person. He did impeccable work to help get a family member admitted…. Now let’s hope the rest of the professionals do great work with him, too.

I want to encourage people that when the patient doesn’t want to go, there is the FAMILY INTERVENTION, which is prepared with a therapist. In my case, it was with a great professional, Fran. We prepared everything, Fran came to my house, and my son agreed to go with him. My son has only been there for two days. But the treatment and the therapists have informed me, and they look very professional. I encourage others to remove their fears about admission. And don’t overthink it. Every day that passes is too late.

I don’t have enough words to thank the Zeus addiction center and all their incredible team. From the very first moment, they have accompanied me with professionalism and closeness that make all the difference.
I want to make a very special mention of Jordi, for guiding me throughout the entire process, for helping me take the blindfold off and teaching me to accept my illness so I can truly treat it. Thanks to his support and the team’s work, today I’m starting to see life in a different way.
I was coming from a real “rat trap,” with no way out, and here they’ve given me the tools and the strength to begin building a fulfilling life. They’ve opened my eyes in many ways, and they’re accompanying me at every step of this important path.
All I can say is thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for everything you’re doing for me.

Hi! I’m Maria, the partner of a patient of Zeus. I’m writing this review to thank all the professionals who make possible a dream that, to families, seems impossible. My partner has come out as a completely different person—full of hope, wanting to live, simply happy. It’s a path that isn’t easy, but with the help of the professionals, you start to see the light again. I want to make a special mention of Fran, Mariana, Henry, and Montse. You’re incredible. You’ve always been there whenever I’ve needed you, and I know you’ll keep doing so. Now you’re already part of the family. A huge hug.

Good morning!
My name is Jordi, I’m a 25-year-old guy who used to live in a world of lies, ailments, lack of control, excess, bad habits... A lot of drugs involved!
I’d degraded myself as a person and I lost all the values my parents had instilled in me. I got myself into a world I couldn’t get out of; I was incapable—no matter how many ways I tried, I always ended up going back to consuming.
I knew something wasn’t right, and at some point of lucidity (there were very few) I decided to admit myself to Zeus.
After so much chaos in my life, it was the best decision I’ve made! I was even worse off than I thought...
At Zeus I learned how to manage my emotions, to name my urges to consume, to see reality, to understand the seriousness of things, to take more responsibility, to see the consequences of my actions. I realized that there is life beyond drugs—and that they’re completely unnecessary in my life. And without them, I’m much better.
Now I’m happy. I live with fulfillment and satisfaction in what I do. I feel like living, achieving goals, fighting for what I want. I continue in recovery and I can keep adding years to my life instead of taking them away. I can enjoy life—and do it with the people who truly value me and care about me...
MY FAMILY!
None of this would have been possible without the support of professional people dedicated to mental health, with a lot of vocation. So I thank the whole Zeus team for everything they do every day for and with us.
I also want to thank Cristina, who was my therapist when I arrived—for giving me the chance and for having faith in me. To Henry, for being my therapy partner and for backing me, and to this day still doing it.
And especially Noelia for fighting all that she’s fought in my process, for telling me things straight and knowing how to put me in my place, for being kind and empathetic, for having faith in me and fighting so I come out of this and don’t go back to the shitty life I had before. Because if there’s something I’m very clear about, it’s this:
DRUGS ARE NOT AN OPTION FOR ME!
If you want to change your life radically, try dedicating a little time to yourself and let yourself be helped, because you can’t do it alone. And Zeus has been a before and after for me.
STRONG, ALWAYS STRONG!

Today is a very special day for me because today I have been 2 years without consuming, and I feel very proud of myself and grateful, because today is the date on which my life changed course toward a better path. Even though I know the credit is mine, I also want to thank you and the therapists and my fellow patients who helped me understand myself and cope with my illness.
Today, I am very happy with my family, my new group of friends, and above all, after I always thought I would never do anything with my life, I’m about to start my internship as a Mechanic. And this happiness is something I wouldn’t trade for anything, because to this day I can say that I’m proud of who I am and that nothing and nobody will stop me from continuing to progress. A kiss, and keep up that wonderful work for continuing to save people. Regards. ❤️
