Clínica Galatea is a point of reference nationally and internationally for the care it provides to ill health professionals. It offers confidential, multidisciplinary, all-around treatment in a setting that promotes the full rehabilitation of the user. We have a multidisciplinary therapeutic team with ample experience in treating addictions and mental illnesses that has addressed over 5,500 cases.
We do not only treat addiction through pharmacological detoxification; one of the keys to our intervention is intensive psychological treatment (with both individual interviews and group sessions) in order to help patients live without substances and to work psychologically on the causes that lead to substance use.
We also consider the physical welfare of our patients, with an exhaustive evaluation by an internist doctor and a range of activities aimed at physical welfare (workshops on healthy habits, gymnastics, physical therapy, etc.).
