Treatment for drug addiction
Whether you are concerned about your own behaviour or worried about someone you love, struggles with drug use can feel confusing, overwhelming, and isolating. Many people delay reaching out for help, often because they are unsure whether their situation is “serious enough” or believe they should be able to manage it alone.
Ibiza Calm offers residential drug addiction treatment in northern Ibiza, providing a calm, private setting where individuals can step away from daily pressures and focus fully on recovery. Our programmes are personalised, clinically led, and delivered within a small, supportive therapeutic community.
We work with a wide range of substance use challenges (from dependence on prescription medication to illicit drug use) and support clients with co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and burnout.
If you are unsure if treatment is for you, our online assessment tool may prove useful.
What is drug addiction?
Drug addiction, also referred to as substance use disorder (SUD), is a medical condition that affects the brain and behaviour. It involves a pattern of continued drug use despite harmful consequences, and can range from mild to severe.
Substance use disorder is diagnosed using recognised clinical criteria and may involve:
→ Difficulty controlling use
→ Cravings or compulsive behaviour
→ Tolerance and withdrawal
→ Impact on health, relationships, or work
Addiction is not a moral failing or lack of willpower. It is a treatable condition that often requires professional support, particularly when use has become entrenched or when mental health is also affected.
Signs and symptoms of drug addiction
Drug addiction can look different for different people, but common signs may include:
If these patterns feel familiar, it may be time to seek support.

Why it’s hard to face drug addiction alone
Many people live with addiction in secrecy, driven by shame, fear of judgement, or concern about how treatment might affect their work or family life. Others normalise their use because it has developed gradually or is socially accepted within certain environments.
Over time, however, substance use often becomes more complex, particularly when combined with stress, trauma, or mental health difficulties. Residential treatment can be especially helpful when:
→ Attempts to stop have not been successful
→ Use is escalating or unpredictable
→ Mental health symptoms are worsening
→ Outpatient support no longer feels sufficient
With the right support, recovery is possible. You don’t have to face it alone.
THE PATH TO RECOVERY STARTS WITH A SMALL FIRST STEP
Drug addiction treatment at Ibiza Calm
Treatment at Ibiza Calm begins with a thorough medical and psychiatric assessment, allowing us to understand each client’s history, current needs, and any co-occurring conditions.
From there, we design a personalised treatment plan, typically recommending a residential stay of around four weeks, although this may vary depending on clinical need.
Our approach combines:
→ Evidence-based psychological therapies
→ Holistic and nervous-system-focused practices
→ 24/7 medical and psychiatric oversight
→ Flexibility around group participation, depending on the programme
Where medically required, detoxification takes place onsite under continuous medical supervision, with a team experienced in managing complex and multi-substance cases.
We work with individuals, families, professionals, and those experiencing co-occurring mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and burnout.

Drug Addiction Treatment
Which drug addictions do we treat?
There are many different types of drug addiction. At Ibiza Calm, we specialize in the rehabilitation of all forms of drug addiction, including opioid, stimulant, depressant, and hallucinogen addiction. We offer a wide range of evidence-based treatments, including cognitive behavioural therapy, motivational interviewing, and 12-Step recovery, as well as group therapies.
Cocaine
Cocaine is a powerful and addictive stimulant that is obtained from coca leaves from the Andes mountains of South America. Although it has medical uses as an anaesthetic, cocaine is mostly used illegally for the extreme form of euphoria that it induces.
Heroin
Heroin is a drug synthesised from morphine and is one of the most addictive illicit substances available.
Fentanyl
Fentanyl is heroin’s synthetic cousin; it works by binding to the body’s opioid receptors increasing dopamine levels. The increase of dopamine leaves a feeling of euphoria, relieves pain and decreases the perception of suffering.
Methadone
Methadone is a long-acting opioid, often used as a heroin substitute to maintain opioid addicts. Its effects can be cumulative and may cause many long term issues.
Psychoactive addictive drugs
Chemsex drugs – crystal methamphetamine, GHB/GBL and mephedrone, also known as miaow miaow, are a group of addictive psychoactive drugs.
Ecstacy and MMDA
MDMA/Ecstasy (powder and pills) affects the brain and the body.

What types of drug addiction do you treat?
We treat a wide range of substance use issues, including cocaine, cannabis, heroin, fentanyl, ketamine, prescription medication, ecstasy/MDMA, chemsex drugs, methadone, and polysubstance use. Specific drug pages provide more detail.
Can you help if I don’t know which substance is the main problem?
Yes. Many clients present with mixed or evolving substance use. Assessment helps clarify what support is needed.
Do you offer medical detox onsite?
Where clinically required, detox takes place onsite under 24/7 medical supervision.
Can you treat addiction alongside mental health conditions?
Yes. We regularly support clients with co-occurring anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns.
How private is treatment?
Privacy and discretion are central to our approach. Client confidentiality is respected at all times.
Can I receive drug addiction treatment if I also take prescription medication?
Yes. Our medical team reviews all current medications and adjusts plans safely.
Is residential treatment really necessary for drug addiction?
Residential treatment may be recommended when drug use is entrenched, withdrawal symptoms are severe, mental health symptoms are significant, or outpatient support has not been sufficient. It provides structure, safety, and intensive therapeutic input during a vulnerable period.
How long is residential treatment for drug addiction?
Most clients benefit from a stay of four or more weeks, as this allows enough time for safe stabilisation, therapeutic work, and building the strategies needed for long term recovery. During assessment, our clinical team will recommend an appropriate length of stay based on patterns, withdrawal risks, and emotional needs.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Discretion and confidentiality are fundamental at Ibiza Calm. Client information and treatment details are handled with the highest level of privacy.
How private is the drug addiction treatment programme?
Our estate is discreet and fully private, with a limited number of clients to ensure confidentiality and space.
Will I be able to contact my family?
Yes. Family contact is arranged in a way that supports recovery and emotional stability. Family therapy can also be included when appropriate. In addition, family members are welcome to join a weekly online family support group from the beginning of treatment.
What happens during the admissions process?
After an initial confidential conversation, our clinical team gathers relevant medical and psychological information. On arrival, we complete a full medical and psychiatric assessment and create a personalised treatment plan. Our admissions process is discreet, supportive, and designed to reduce stress at what can be an emotionally difficult moment.
Is it possible to work remotely while in treatment?
We encourage clients to prioritise their recovery while at Ibiza Calm. In certain programmes, remote work may be possible.
Do you accept insurance?
We accept a number of international insurances, such as Cigma International and Bupa Global. We can also assist with documentation for clients seeking reimbursement, though coverage depends on individual policies.
What happens after leaving Ibiza Calm?
Before discharge, you will be introduced to the aftercare support group, and you will receive a detailed aftercare plan tailored to your needs. This may include ongoing therapy, psychiatric support, community-based groups, or outpatient treatment. We also coordinate with trusted professionals to ensure continuity of care once you return home.
