The Foundation Retreat: Private Residential Rehab at Oasis Premium Recovery
Oasis Premium Recovery offers The Foundation Retreat as an entry-level, one-to-one inpatient programme — a calm residential reset that establishes routine, calms the nervous system, and equips you with practical skills. Delivered inside our architecturally designed residence in Southern Spain, it blends therapeutic precision with quiet, luxury surroundings. No groups unless requested. No exposure. Just steady, intelligent care paced to your capacity.
Why Choose the Foundation Retreat
Early recovery often fails for two reasons: life is too loud and the plan is too brittle. This is an entry-level residential stabilisation programme that solves both. We reduce cognitive load, stabilise sleep and energy, and install short, repeatable skills you can use under pressure. Whether you’re addressing anxiety, low mood, trauma responses, compulsive patterns, or early-stage addiction, the aim is traction — not theatrics — so progress is strong enough to take home.
Clients often choose this pathway after comparing larger rehab providers in Spain, weighing rehab in the UK vs Spain, or shortlisting discreet luxury rehab providers that guarantee one-to-one care. We also support international guests through tailored options for private rehab in the Middle East and as an alternative to rehab in the USA, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and France.
Who the Retreat Is For
High-functioning professionals who feel privately burnt out
You keep the plates spinning — teams, family, deadlines — but evenings unravel into overthinking, late-night coping, or flat exhaustion. The Foundation Retreat gives you a quiet, private interval to reset habits without stepping into a public programme. We stabilise sleep and energy first, then layer short, repeatable skills you can use under pressure.
- Signals you may recognise: clear mornings that fade by noon, decision fatigue, caffeine/alcohol creep, social withdrawal.
- What we work on: a protective daily rhythm, DBT skills for emotion and boundaries, and TRE or restorative Bespoke Services to down-regulate the body.
- Early outcomes (10–14 days): steadier sleep, fewer spikes, clearer “no’s”, and usable evenings.
Founders, executives, and public figures who require confidentiality
If you carry responsibility and visibility, exposure is a non-starter. We design your days to protect momentum inside a private setting such as The One-to-One Residence. Sessions are one-to-one with a small, consistent team and discreet arrivals.
- How we protect progress: one-to-one sessions only, discreet logistics, and weekly reviews to adjust intensity.

Clients at the turning point with alcohol, medication, stimulants, or behaviours
Ambivalence is common: you want change and you don’t. Instead of confrontation, we use MET Therapy to map what matters, surface your own reasons, and design steps you can live with. We are 12-Step compatible (private step study, sponsor contact, or discreet meeting access) and equally strong on secular routes.
- Plan design: clear parameters (sleep, intake, boundaries), relapse-prevention rehearsals, and fast feedback loops.
- If you’re scanning the landscape: contrast with Luxury Rehab providers or regional options in Private Rehab Europe.
Dual-diagnosis and complex presentations
When challenges cluster — for example anxiety with low mood, or trauma with addiction or eating-disorder patterns — sequencing is everything. We lower physiological load first (TRE, breathwork, sleep), then add skills (DBT) and motivation alignment (MET) so improvements stack instead of collide.
- Stability first: arousal window work, predictable days, and careful titration of intensity.
- Coordination: we can interface with external psychiatrists or medical providers as needed.
People who have “done therapy” but never built a daily rhythm that sticks
Insight helped — but life didn’t shift. Here, we translate ideas into micro-habits: short drills you actually use, boundaries you can keep, and a wind-down that protects sleep. We also remove friction: clarify priorities, simplify inputs, and design a week that won’t collapse under real-world pressure.
- What changes: fewer moving parts, calmer body, clearer decisions, and a routine you can take home intact.
Practicalities & support: Medical oversight and external specialists can be coordinated where indicated. Discreet communication with family or a PA can be included by arrangement.
Location & Setting
Oasis sits in Southern Spain, chosen for light, calm, and privacy. Days follow a gentle Mediterranean rhythm — morning light, quiet spaces, unhurried meals, and access to nature — which lowers baseline arousal and supports sleep depth. Travel is straightforward via major international routes; our admissions team can arrange low-profile arrivals and private transfers. For local context, see Rehab Spain, compare Rehab UK vs Spain, and review Rehab providers in Spain and Spain Treatment Centres.
12-Step Compatibility (and Secular Alternatives)
We are not a 12-Step facility, but we are 12-Step compatible. If AA/NA/GA is part of your life, we can support:
- Private, one-to-one 12-Step study or stepwork time in-residence.
- Remote sponsor contact built into your schedule.
- Discreet access to local meetings (where evidence-led appropriate) or closed, staff-facilitated readings if you prefer complete privacy.
If you prefer a secular approach, we use DBT skills, MET for intrinsic motivation, and TRE plus Bespoke Services for nervous-system down-regulation. Both paths can coexist; the lens is always: what holds best for you after discharge.
What’s Included (Core Components)
Each component is deliberate: we pair cognitive work with body regulation and simple routines so change has somewhere to land.
Daily one-to-one therapy
Focused sessions target stabilisation, clarity, and immediate skill use. We pace intensity to your capacity and review progress weekly.
DBT skills, taught practically
Via DBT Therapy Spain you’ll build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness — rehearsed in real scenarios you face.
Body-based down-regulation
TRE and restorative Bespoke Services (acupuncture, massage, bodywork) lower arousal, reduce somatic tension, and deepen sleep.
Motivation & action design
MET Therapy aligns goals to values, removes friction, and converts intention into precise, realistic next steps.
Protective lifestyle routines
We design a replicable rhythm around sleep, light, movement, and nutrition — minimal moving parts, maximum hold.
Case review & measurement
Weekly therapeutic reviews track sleep quality, arousal, urges, and follow-through so the plan evolves with your capacity.
therapeutic Scope & Suitability
The Foundation Retreat is designed as entry-level inpatient care for stabilisation and routine building. If you require acute medical detox or inpatient psychiatric care, we’ll coordinate appropriate medical oversight or refer to partner facilities before transitioning you into the retreat safely.
Our One-to-One Model (and Why It Works)
Many traditional Spain treatment Centres lean on groups and shared schedules. For clients with high responsibility or privacy needs, this can be overstimulating or too generic. At Oasis, all core work is one-to-one, delivered by a small, consistent team who calibrate each day to your energy, sleep, and readiness. For the rationale behind this format, see One-to-One Therapy in Spain and Why Private Therapy in Spain.
How the Retreat Creates Traction
Traction comes from sequencing, not intensity. We reduce noise first, regulate physiology next, and only then push into skills and action design.
Reduce load
Quiet inputs, simplified schedule, and predictable rhythm shrink decision fatigue and free cognitive bandwidth.
Stabilise physiology
TRE and restorative work lower baseline tension; sleep is protected with consistent wind-down and light exposure routines.
Build skills
Short, repeatable DBT drills are applied immediately to real interactions and pressure points.
Align actions
MET converts intention into small steps you can keep; we design supports and boundaries around them.
Measure & adapt
Weekly review; extend or taper intensity based on lived progress and objective markers like sleep and reactivity.
Sample Daily Schedule
Structure adapts to your capacity. Here’s a typical flow; we adjust timing and intensity as you stabilise.
- Morning: Guided breathwork and grounding; one-to-one therapy; short mindfulness drill; brief outdoor walk.
- Midday: TRE or restorative Bespoke Services; lunch; quiet integration time (journaling or rest).
- Afternoon: DBT skills; MET action design; nature interval.
- Evening: Gentle movement; guided relaxation; device boundaries; consistent wind-down for sleep depth.
Outcomes You Can Expect
Physiology
Lower resting tension, fewer spikes, faster recovery after stress, and steadier mornings.
Function
Clearer boundaries, reduced reliance on short-term coping (overwork, alcohol, late-night scrolling), and more usable evenings.
Routine
A simple, repeatable daily rhythm you can take home intact — with a fallback plan for busy weeks or travel.
How Long Is the Foundation Retreat?
This is a short, foundational residential phase of 2–4 weeks for most clients. Many begin with focused stabilisation, then extend only if additional time will consolidate gains. We review weekly and adjust intensity in real time. Typical ranges:
- 2 weeks: stabilise sleep and arousal, install core skills, map a home routine.
- 3–4 weeks: deeper skill generalisation, boundary work, and stronger relapse-prevention design.
- Extended: for complex or dual-diagnosis presentations, with careful sequencing across modalities.
How the Retreat Fits With Our Other Programmes
The Foundation Retreat is the base layer of our residential continuum. When you’re stable, we extend or flex to match your needs:
- The Restorative Path for continued residential consolidation and deepening of skills.
- The Regenerative Stay for extended depth work when patterns are entrenched or dual diagnosis is present.
- The Signature Experience for fully bespoke design across therapeutic, lifestyle, and privacy needs.
- The One-to-One Residence for complete exclusivity with a dedicated team in a private residence.
