About this facility
The Retreat in Italy, located on the serene Vellaneta Estate in central Italy, offers support for individuals and families dealing with addiction, co-dependency, trauma, anxiety, depression, and psychosomatic disorders like chronic pain and fibromyalgia. While not a substitute for a treatment center, the retreat provides personalized programs to help clients remain grounded and focused on sobriety. A standout feature is its combination of therapeutic support with a tranquil, natural environment, fostering both healing and relaxation.
The retreat employs a client-centered approach, offering therapies such as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to help process traumatic memories and reduce associated distress. This integrative therapy is effective for various issues, including substance abuse disorders and psychosomatic conditions. By addressing both past traumas and current challenges, the retreat supports clients in achieving lasting healing and personal growth.
Accommodations consist of four comfortable, stylish apartments, each equipped with private facilities. Guests can choose from bed and breakfast, half, or full board options. The 63-hectare estate features amenities such as a panoramic swimming pool, winding paths through woodlands, and proximity to beaches and airports. Transfers to and from the nearest airport or railway station can be arranged, ensuring a seamless travel experience.
In addition to therapeutic programs, the retreat offers sober holidays and family holidays, integrating local traditions and activities. These retreats provide a safe, supportive environment where clients can enjoy cultural experiences while focusing on their recovery journey. By combining therapy with leisure, clients leave feeling relaxed, empowered, and ready to return to their daily lives with renewed purpose.
