Private Addiction Recovery for Alcohol, Drugs and Compulsive Behaviours
When alcohol, drugs, gambling or another compulsive behaviour begins to take up too much space in daily life, regaining control can become increasingly difficult.
Addiction is not defined simply by how often someone drinks, uses a substance or engages in a particular behaviour. What matters is the pattern: difficulty controlling it, giving it increasing priority over other areas of life, and continuing despite consequences for health, relationships, work or personal wellbeing.
At REQUOVERY, addiction recovery begins by understanding the individual rather than applying a standard programme. Every person arrives with a different history, context, level of dependence and set of personal circumstances. Treatment is therefore built around a careful assessment and a personalised therapeutic plan.
When a Habit Becomes Difficult to Control
Problematic substance use or compulsive behaviour can develop gradually. For some people, the first signs appear in their personal relationships. For others, professional performance, sleep, emotional stability or physical health begin to change.
A person may still be functioning at a high level while privately finding it increasingly difficult to control alcohol, drugs, medication, gambling or another behaviour. Professional success does not exclude dependence, and outward stability does not always reflect what is happening privately.
Signs that professional assessment may be appropriate can include:
- Repeated attempts to reduce or stop without being able to maintain the change.
- Spending increasing amounts of time thinking about, obtaining or engaging in the substance or behaviour.
- Continuing despite negative personal, professional, financial or health consequences.
- Using alcohol, drugs or certain behaviours primarily to escape pressure, stress or difficult emotions.
- Hiding the extent of the behaviour from family, colleagues or those closest to you.
- Feeling that the substance or behaviour is beginning to determine decisions, routines or priorities.
Recognising these changes does not establish a diagnosis. It can, however, be a reason to speak confidentially with a qualified professional.
Addiction Treatment at REQUOVERY
REQUOVERY provides personalised recovery programmes for people experiencing difficulties related to substances and compulsive behaviours.
The areas supported include:
- Alcohol dependence and problematic alcohol use.
- Drug use.
- Nicotine dependence.
- Prescription medicine dependency.
- Gambling addiction.
- Sex addiction.
Rather than treating the behaviour in isolation, the clinical team considers the wider circumstances surrounding it. Stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, physical health, family dynamics and the demands of a high-pressure professional life may all be relevant to the assessment, depending on the individual case.
The objective is to understand what is maintaining the pattern and to create a recovery strategy that is clinically appropriate, realistic and sustainable.
A Personalised Clinical Approach
There is no single treatment pathway that is appropriate for every form of addiction.
At REQUOVERY, the process begins with an individual assessment. Psychiatrists, psychologists and other specialists can then contribute to a therapeutic plan according to the person's needs.
Treatment may integrate clinical and therapeutic resources such as individual psychotherapy, psychiatric support, neuropsychology, mindfulness, physical activity, nutrition, physiotherapy and selected complementary therapies.
When detoxification is clinically necessary, it can be medically supervised or coordinated with an appropriate specialised facility, depending on the circumstances.
The purpose is not simply to interrupt a behaviour temporarily. Treatment also considers the emotional, psychological and practical factors that can influence the risk of returning to previous patterns.
One-to-One Recovery in a Private Setting
For some people, seeking treatment brings another concern: who will know?
Executives, entrepreneurs, public figures and internationally mobile families may delay asking for help because treatment appears incompatible with professional responsibilities, privacy or reputation.
REQUOVERY is designed around a different model.
The residential phase can take place in a private villa in Mallorca, where the appropriate clinical, therapeutic and support professionals work around the needs of the individual rather than placing the individual into a conventional shared treatment environment.
Privacy is therefore not an additional feature of the programme. It is part of how care is structured.
The private setting also allows distance from routines, pressures and triggers that can make it difficult to focus on recovery. Mallorca provides a calm environment in which treatment, rest, movement, nutrition and everyday routines can be organised around the therapeutic process.
The environment supports recovery; it does not replace clinical care.
Looking Beyond the Immediate Problem
Stopping alcohol, drugs or a compulsive behaviour is only one part of recovery.
An effective treatment plan may also need to explore why the pattern developed, which situations maintain it, how the person responds to pressure and what will happen when they return to their usual environment.
This can involve working on:
- Emotional regulation and coping strategies.
- Triggers and patterns associated with substance use or compulsive behaviour.
- Co-existing psychological difficulties when identified through professional assessment.
- Sleep, nutrition and physical wellbeing.
- Relationships and family dynamics when relevant.
- Preparation for returning to professional and personal responsibilities.
- Strategies intended to support continued recovery after the residential phase.
This broader perspective is particularly important when the individual has maintained a demanding career or public role while concealing the extent of the problem.
Recovery Continues After Mallorca
Leaving a protected environment is an important transition rather than the end of the process.
After the residential phase, continuing support can be planned around the individual's circumstances and country of residence. The aim is to carry therapeutic progress into everyday life and provide continuity during reintegration.
Aftercare may therefore form part of the personalised recovery plan, with the level and type of follow-up determined by clinical needs.

/FAQS
How do I know whether alcohol or drug use has become an addiction?
There is no single amount or frequency that determines whether someone has developed a substance use disorder. Difficulty controlling use, increasing priority given to the substance and continuing despite negative consequences are important warning signs. A professional assessment can establish what is happening and what level of support may be appropriate.
Do I need a diagnosis before contacting REQUOVERY?
No. An initial confidential conversation can begin before a formal diagnosis has been established. The clinical assessment is used to understand the individual's situation and determine whether a personalised recovery programme is appropriate.
Does REQUOVERY treat behavioural addictions?
REQUOVERY provides personalised support for gambling addiction and sex addiction as part of its addiction programme. Each situation is assessed individually because different compulsive behaviours can require different therapeutic approaches.
Is addiction treatment at REQUOVERY confidential?
Confidentiality and discretion are central to the REQUOVERY model. The programme is designed for individuals who require a high degree of privacy, including executives, entrepreneurs, public figures and international families. Care can take place in a private villa rather than a conventional shared residential environment.
Can detoxification form part of the programme?
When detoxification is clinically appropriate, it may be medically supervised or coordinated with a specialised facility depending on the substance involved and the individual's clinical circumstances. This decision is made following professional assessment.
What happens after the residential phase?
Recovery planning can continue beyond the stay in Mallorca. Follow-up and aftercare may be arranged according to the individual's clinical needs and circumstances, helping to support the transition back to everyday personal and professional life.
