12-Step Counselling in Spain: Private Support for Alcohol, Drug & Behavioural Addiction Recovery at Oasis Premium Recovery

Oasis Premium Recovery offers 12-Step counselling in Spain in a fully private, one-to-one format — delivered as a standalone therapeutic track or integrated within our residential programmes. No groups unless requested. No exposure. Just calm, structured guidance from senior practitioners inside a quiet, architecturally designed residence in Southern Spain. Delivered discreetly in Marbella, with low-profile arrivals and private transfers on request.

Why Choose One-to-One 12-Step Counselling at Oasis

Many clients value the clarity and accountability of 12-Step principles but don’t want public meetings or group confrontation. Our format keeps the relational depth while removing noise: private step study, values-aligned inventory work, amends planning, and relapse prevention built into a routine you can actually keep.

We pair the 12-Step lens with evidence-based modalities — DBT for skills and boundaries, MET for motivation and aligned action, and TRE plus Bespoke Services (acupuncture, massage, bodywork) for nervous-system regulation. When physiology settles, honesty and action become doable.

Clients often compare us with larger rehab providers in Spain and public-facing Spain treatment Centres, weigh rehab UK vs Spain, or shortlist luxury rehab providers that promise privacy. We also welcome international guests via tailored pathways for private rehab in the Middle East and as a high-privacy alternative to USA, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and France.

Who This Is For

Clients who value 12-Step clarity without public exposure

You want the structure, language, and accountability of the Steps — privately. We deliver one-to-one study, reflection, and planning, with optional and discreet meeting access if evidence-led appropriate. You won’t be asked to disclose in groups or adopt beliefs that don’t fit your worldview.

Those rebuilding after near-relapse or chronic ambivalence

If commitment wobbles or near-relapse cycles appear, we align Step work with MET to strengthen intrinsic reasons for change and translate intention into the next doable action. We design “just-enough” structure that holds on busy days and during travel.

Dual-diagnosis and complex presentations

When anxiety, depression, trauma, or eating-disorder patterns intersect with addiction, we pace Step work carefully. Physiological arousal is lowered first; then cognitive, relational, and behavioural layers are added so improvements stack rather than collide.

What Addictions We Support (Privately)

• Alcohol addiction and dependency
• Drug addiction (e.g., cocaine, opioids, stimulants)
• Prescription medication misuse (e.g., benzodiazepines, opioid analgesics, sedatives)
• Behavioural addictions — gambling, sex & love, food, gaming, shopping

Many clients are high-functioning and visible in their fields. Privacy is engineered into every detail — scheduling, arrivals, and communication windows — so you can do real work without exposure.

How We Tailor the Steps to You

• Language fit: we translate “higher power” into values-aligned terms (nature, service, community, purpose) or keep it entirely secular.
• Pacing: intensity is titrated to your capacity; we slow for trauma and speed up when stability allows.
• Context-first: examples and “live drills” are built from your actual situations — travel, events, family dynamics, and work triggers.
• Sponsorship: discreet sponsor contact can be arranged; if you prefer not to, we maintain accountability through your senior team.
• Documentation: simple, secure step notes and scripts you can use during high-risk moments.

What We Cover (Core Components)

• Private step study: first principles, personal definitions, and practical application to your real triggers.
• Inventory & amends planning: values-aligned, paced safely, with boundaries and scripts designed — not improvised.
• Relapse-prevention architecture: trigger maps, urge-surfing, stimulus control, travel/event playbooks, and “if/then” supports embedded in your day.
• Skills & physiology: DBT for boundaries and distress tolerance; TRE and restorative Bespoke Services to lower arousal and protect sleep.
• Family & relationships (optional): where helpful, we include Family Therapy or brief IPT to support repair and clear communication.

A Closer Look at Step 4 & Step 9 (Trauma-Safe)

Step 4 — inventory without shame: we treat this as structured self-understanding, not self-attack. You’ll map patterns gently, with pacing set to your nervous system. Where trauma is present, disclosure is titrated and never performative.

Step 9 — amends with wisdom: we distinguish guilt pressure from genuine repair. Amends may be direct, indirect, or internal (self-forgiveness); boundaries and scripts are designed in advance so safety leads. We rehearse conversations and set clear stop-points to protect recovery.

12-Step Compatible & Secular-Friendly

We’re 12-Step compatible, not dogmatic. If AA/NA/GA is part of your path, we support it privately. If you prefer a secular approach, we use DBT, MET, and restorative work to achieve the same ends: honesty, responsibility, repair, and prevention.

Programme Pathways

• The Foundation Retreat — entry-level stabilisation with early 12-Step orientation.
• The Restorative Path — consolidation and amends planning at a steady pace.
• The Regenerative Stay — extended depth work for entrenched patterns.
• The Signature Experience — bespoke design with enhanced discretion.
• The One-to-One Residence — single-client delivery for absolute privacy.

Sample Weekly Rhythm

• Mon–Tue: one-to-one step study + DBT skills; restorative bodywork to lower arousal.
• Wed: MET review; inventory or amends planning; nature interval for reset.
• Thu: prevention rehearsal; sponsor contact (optional); wind-down routine for sleep depth.
• Fri: case review; adjust cadence; integration time and light journalling.
• Weekend: gentle practice, reflection, and regulated rest; optional private readings.

Example Daily Structure

• Morning: breathwork and grounding; 60–90 min step session; short skills drill; outdoor interval.
• Midday: TRE or restorative Bespoke Services; lunch; quiet integration.
• Afternoon: DBT rehearsal (boundaries, scripts); prevention planning for evening triggers.
• Evening: gentle movement; guided relaxation; device boundaries; consistent wind-down.

Expected Outcomes

• Clearer commitment and reduced ambivalence; values-led actions.
• Stronger boundaries and less cue-driven behaviour under pressure.
• Improved sleep continuity and morning steadiness.
• Practical relapse-prevention that survives travel, events, and stress.

Client Snapshot

A 42-year-old founder arrived after near-relapse cycles and severe sleep disruption. Private step study (3–4 focused sessions/week) plus MET and TRE stabilised physiology first; inventory work followed without shame. At discharge: deeper sleep, fewer spikes, a clear amends plan, and a simple weekly prevention rhythm.

How We Measure Progress

• Weekly review: sleep continuity, reactivity, urge frequency, and follow-through on agreed actions.
• Skill adoption: use of scripts, boundary success rate, meeting/sponsor cadence (if chosen).
• Physiology markers: perceived arousal, morning steadiness, and recovery time after stress.

Length of Work

Cadence and duration are individual; we extend only if added time will consolidate gains. Typical ranges:

• 2–3 weeks: orientation, early prevention, and sponsor planning (if desired).
• 4–6 weeks: inventory and amends preparation; deep skill integration and travel/event playbooks.
• Extended: for complex or dual-diagnosis presentations requiring slower pacing and family work.
