treating people with addictive and emotional disorders

Nova Vida is a new business (open just 20 months) trying to get established in the very competitive field of treating people with addictive and emotional disorders.

They left the UK (after many years working for The Priory) to set up a treatment centre in the warmer and sunnier climate of Portugal to make rehabilitation more affordable and accessible to people who did not have the financial means to afford somewhere like The Priory.

The Clinical Team have written various informative brochures and articles  related to addiction:

• Tough Love – The importance of Intervention
• Are you drinking Safely
• Family matters – a Guide for Relatives, Friends and Colleagues
• Alcohol for Users and Relatives
• Heroin for Users and Relatives
• Cocaine for Users and Relatives
• Cannabis for Users and Relatives
• Trauma & Addiction
• What is Rehab?

Their article Women and Alcohol (11 MB PDF) deals with Executive Burn Out as well as the abuse of addictive substances i.e. alcohol and drugs and gives advice on how to recognise symptoms and act on them before it is too late.
