Phoenix Programmes Phoenix Programmes offer a proven solution to alcohol, drug and behavioural addictions and disorders This awareness led us to conceive Phoenix Programmes.

My name is Chris Spencer and I work alongside my business partner, Anita Cragen. With over 28 years dedicated to addiction recovery, I bring my expertise and experience, while Anita brings 20 years of her own. Over these decades, we've had the privilege of aiding clients worldwide. I have personally witnessed the deep suffering and havoc addiction wreaks on individuals' lives, their well-being, relationships, and families. We offer meticulously tailored treatment plans, uniquely designed for each individual's distinct journey to recovery. We have built a foundation rooted in crafting a programme to suit you, addressing the mind, body, and spirituality. Our experience has taught us that addiction is a complex disease and all aspects need addressing for a successful recovery. So as well as physically detoxing and healing the body, our programmes target the psychological and spiritual hole that can’t be filled with drink, drugs, or any behavioural high. We have fine-tuned our approach over the decades, tailoring our treatment to guide you to your own personal solution. Both Anita and myself are certified International Alcohol and Drug Therapists and qualified Recovery Dynamics Counsellors, and members of the Federation of Drug and Alcohol Professionals. With a specific focus on aiding mothers with addiction and young children, Anita intimately understands the challenges of motherhood and the pressures addiction places on families. I have a distinguished track record of working with notable clients on an individual basis, including celebrities, politicians, royalty, and high-net worth individuals from a diverse range of nations, accommodated here in Spain or in their home countries. I am also a founding member of the first addiction treatment centre in Dubai, before transitioning my practice to Spain 3 years later. My expertise spans all facets of addiction, with three decades of experience successfully treating a wide range of substance abuse disorders; behavioural addictions such as gambling, social media, and s*x; and psychological problems like ADHD, OCD, anxiety and depression. Through this work, I have guided numerous individuals in rebuilding their lives and embracing prosperous futures, and I have played a pivotal role in crafting addiction recovery programmes and a range of workshops covering compulsive behaviours. As a dedicated addiction therapist, I am deeply committed to each individual’s journey to recovery. This devotion fuels my daily work. I channelled my years of experience into founding a luxury private rehabilitation centre in Southern Spain. Inspired by my work with international clients, I aspired to create a haven for rest, healing, and personalised care.

Alcohol dependence does not always begin with an obvious crisis. For many people, it develops gradually through routines that seem normal at first: a drink with lunch, w**e in the evening, or alcohol becoming the way to switch off after a busy day.

Step Eleven is often misunderstood. Some people hear the words “prayer” and “meditation” and assume that the step is only for those who already feel certain about spirituality or religion. Others worry that it is too abstract to be useful in treatment.
