What Makes The Edge Crete Effective?
Our world-renowned treatment model is an integrative approach that draws on key elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and mindfulness practices.
Through structured counselling sessions with our team of experts, young men discover new perspectives and create new patterns, breaking the cycle of self-destructive behaviour.
Our private, luxurious villa in Crete, Greece, provides the optimal space for recovery. Situated on a tranquil hill overlooking the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, clients are distanced from triggers and negative influences. Instead of a rigid gym routine, we use the inspiring landscape for therapeutic activities like hiking, water sports, and cultural exploration. This approach teaches resilience and provides the benefits of meeting challenges as a team. They are able to bond with others who have similar struggles and create lasting friendships in recovery.
