FOCUS ON

the drug rehabilitation retreat of Mas Saint Gilles

Located in a remote area, this medically-supported retreat is a place where former drug users can fight withdrawal symptoms through diverse professional, therapeutic and leisure activities.

The retreat welcomes individuals aged over 25 and the average stay duration is one year, as the idea is for the care beneficiary to redefine his or her place and take growing responsibilities within the community.

FOCUS ON

The La Corniche drug rehab retreat for minors

 Located in Marseille, La Corniche was designed to help disoriented youth aged 14-22 facing substance abuse in finding a new mental framework. While they are rebuilding their personality, they are particularly vulnerable. Therefore it is essential that they be separated from older drug users. They must be completely drug-free in order to enter the program, which lasts five months on average.
The program consists of regular medical checkups along with psychotherapeutic activities. Care beneficiaries become familiar with daily tasks again, normalize their sleep patterns, and combat withdrawal symptoms.
