The Bridge is a family-run treatment center in Marbella specializing in drug and alcohol dependency, gambling and sex addiction, and eating disorders. Their boutique, abstinence-based programme is designed for clients aged 17+ who are ready to do the work of recovery—offering intentionally small groups and a high staff-to-client ratio. With detox, residential, dayhab, and online options, clients receive focused care in a nurturing, private setting where every element is shaped around comfort, safety, and personal growth. Clients may stay for as little as two weeks (if detox isn’t needed), though a minimum one-month stay is recommended for better outcomes.

Build Mental, Emotional, and Physical Strength

Each client receives a tailored treatment plan with a wide range of techniques and activities. One-to-one and group sessions include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), trauma therapy and experiential therapy. Clients also benefit from family liaisons and support, in-house yoga and Pilates, body image workshops, 12-Step meetings and nutritional rehabilitation. Alongside these core treatment options, they offer equine therapy, guided meditation, and daily walks.

Feel the Power of Vitamin Sea

The region boasts 300 days of sunshine, proximity to the sea, and abundant nature, which all serve to boost the mood daily and on excursions. The Bridge’s luxury residence offers spacious en-suite rooms, serene gardens, and a pool for relaxation or exercise. With tremendous support staff—a private chef, concierge, chauffeur, personal trainer and more—providing the utmost hospitality and discretion, clients feel cared for and fully at ease throughout their recovery journey.

Avoid the Rehab-Relapse-Rehab Cycle

Aftercare is central to The Bridge’s mission—providing the skills and support needed to act as a bridge back into normal life. Their team works hard to ensure sustained progress after residential treatment by setting up support networks, offering practical tools, continuing therapy sessions for up to 8 weeks, and providing dayhab and online support.

In 2024, I spent a month at The Bridge, and it truly changed my life. I came in struggling and in the worst shape of my life, but I left with clarity, tools for long-term recovery, and a renewed sense of hope. The therapists were compassionate, knowledgeable, and committed to helping. The staff went above and beyond to create a safe and supportive environment where healing could really happen. I especially want to thank Howard, the owner, whose honesty and genuine care stood out from the very beginning. From my first call to the moment I left, Howard was there—offering encouragement, honest wisdom, and support. His presence made a real difference in my experience, and I’m incredibly grateful for everything he and the team did to help me get back on track. He saved my life and my relationship with my family. The Bridge is a center where recovery is taken seriously and support is real, they helped me heal mentally and physically. The Bridge will always hold a special place in my heart which I never thought would be possible when I walked in broken.

My son was adamant that he partied too much but was not an addict. he went to two other rehab centers and failed miserably. The Bridge is unique that it is more one on one more spiritual and they demand truthfulness. It helped my son to come to terms with the fact that he is an addict. The Bridge helped my son to understand that this is a lifetime commitment. Howard is the patriarch and the heartbeat of the Bridge. As a mother he always kept me abreast but respected my sons right to Privacy. also, the bridge is idyllically located on a hill in magnificent marbella overlooking the ocean. It is the perfect environment for healing. I believe The Bridge and Howard have help. My son‘s life and give him a fighting chance for a sober, healthy successful future.

The Bridge Marbella is where I came as a young boy and learned to be a man. I can to the bridge in 2024 to receive treatment for drug addiction. I had tried numerous methods and centers before arriving at the bridge and none were successful. The bridge is unique in the way it offers support and attention for its clients. With only 3 beds at a time you have an incredibly personal relationship with all the staff. This enables the client to have complete focus on what they are at the bridge for with limited distractions and also allows the staff to give there 100% best to each client. The Silver family is truly what makes The bridge unique. Howard is by far the bridges biggest assest with years experience in treating addicts and leading them on a path to recovery. Howard completely changed my relationship with my mother for the better. Not only does he give the client everything he can but he does the same for the family’s of those who are affected. The bridge has given me the tools for a better life. I can not recommend this treatment center enough and I believe anyone who walks through those doors are given a incredible chance to recover.

I had such a wonderful month at The Bridge from start to finish! I wasn't too sure what I was walking into but it exceeded all of my expectations from start to finish! The one on one therapy was amazing and so are the women who looked after me everyday! As tough as some days can be not once did I feel alone or want to leave. The Bridge offers such a unique and tailor made experience and I couldn't be more grateful to have done it!
