Mental Health Programme in Spain
Not everyone who comes to us has an addiction. A large part of our work is with people whose problem is exhaustion, low mood, anxiety that has stopped responding to anything, or the aftermath of something they have never properly dealt with. They arrive having tried the sensible things first, and having discovered that a fortnight in the sun and a different gym did not touch it.
InHarmoni is a private residential clinic in El Paraíso, minutes from the beach and a short drive from Marbella. Ten private rooms, ten clients at most, and a clinical team of psychiatrists, psychologists, trauma therapists and nurses. The programme runs in English, and the clinic is licensed in Spain as a healthcare provider.
Qué tratamos
The larger areas we work with:
- Depresión, mild to moderate
- Burnout and exhaustion, including executive burnout
- Anxiety, mild to moderate
- Trauma and post traumatic stress
- Duelo
- Eating disorders, within the criteria we set out at assessment
- Any of the above alongside alcohol, medication or other substance use
That last line matters more than its length suggests. Alcohol and prescribed medication creep into these conditions quietly, and a programme that treats the mood and ignores the drinking is the most common reason people are back in the same place a year later.
What this is not
We would rather be clear early than at the point of admission.
This is a ten bed residential clinic, not an acute psychiatric unit. We are not the right setting for someone in an acute crisis, for someone who needs involuntary care, or for severe psychosis. If you or someone close to you is in immediate danger, póngase en contacto con your local emergency number or emergency services rather than a clinic abroad.
We assess every enquiry individually and we say plainly when a different level of care is needed. Where that happens we try to point towards somewhere that fits.
How the programme is built
The order is not negotiable, because working on the psychological causes while the body is still in collapse does not hold.
Medical assessment first. Sleep, thyroid function, blood pressure, medication and alcohol use, and a review of what has already been tried. Several physical conditions imitate depression and burnout and need to be ruled out before anyone draws conclusions.
Physical recovery. Sleep, nutrition and a nervous system that stops running at full alert. This is the unglamorous part and it cannot be skipped. Most clients describe the first real sleep in months within the opening week.
Therapy. Daily individual sessions alongside group and creative work. Cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, schema therapy, somatic work, EMDR where trauma is present, family sessions where the relationships allow.
Return planning. Recovery that ends at the airport is not recovery. Before departure we build a realistic plan for going back to work and to family life, including what has to change and what will need continued support. Every 28 day programme includes four months of individual aftercare with a case manager.
A retreat setting, without the retreat vagueness
The setting is genuinely restorative: gardens, a heated pool, a yoga pavilion, meals cooked on site, and the sea a few minutes away. Yoga, breathwork, meditation, tension and trauma releasing exercises, art therapy, therapeutic horticulture, massage, personal training and sleep work all sit inside the programme.
None of it replaces the clinical work. A retreat offers rest, and for mild exhaustion rest may be enough. Once mood, memory, physical health or substance use are affected, rest is necessary and not sufficient. What we offer has the calm of the first and the clinical substance of the second.
Programme lengths
Fourteen days can stabilise a situation and restore sleep. Twenty eight days is the standard, and it is long enough to get through the physical recovery and into meaningful therapeutic work. Fifty six days is the right clinical choice where there is more than one diagnosis, or where several previous attempts have not held.
We recommend a length at assessment rather than letting you pick one from a table.

Frequently asked questions
¿Necesito un diagnóstico antes de venir?
No. Muchos pacientes llegan con una descripción en lugar de una etiqueta, y parte de la evaluación consiste en entender qué está realmente pasando. Si ya tienes un diagnóstico y un médico que lo atienda, trae ambos.
¿Puedo continuar con mi medicamento?
Sí, y lo revisamos como parte de la evaluación médica. Nada se cambia sin la participación de un médico, y en principio no desaconsejamos la medicación.
¿Es un lugar para vivir, o puedo asistir durante el día?
El programa principal es residencial. Existe un programa de día ambulatorio mensual, abierto a clientes que hayan completado al menos tres meses de tratamiento residencial con nosotros.
¿Tratas la ansiedad por sí sola?
Ansiedad leve a moderada, sí, más a menudo junto a depresión o agotamiento. Trastornos de ansiedad graves que requieren atención hospitalaria especializada están fuera de nuestro ámbito de actuación y lo indicaremos en la evaluación.
¿Se lo comunicará a mi empleador?
No por parte nuestra. Nada se comparte con un empleador o una compañía de seguros sin su consentimiento por escrito. Muchos clientes organizan un periodo de baja médica firmado y podemos respaldar eso con documentación.
¿Puede participar la familia?
Sí, y lo alentamos cuando la relación lo permita. Los familiares también pueden hablar con nosotros por separado si necesitan orientación propia.
Start with a conversation, not a booking
Most people wait far too long, usually because they are waiting for permission or for things to become undeniably bad. A first conversation is confidential, costs nothing and carries no obligation, and you will get an honest view of whether this is the right level of care.
