ADDICTIONS REHABILITATION PROGRAM CENTER COSTA RICA
ADDICTIONS REHABILITATION PROGRAM Costa Rica Medical Tourism Services has its own addictions rehab center in Costa Rica. We have named our center “Nueva Vida Health and Wellness”. In Spanish Nueva Vida means “new life” and that is our mission – to give our patients a new life.
We recognize the serious health care issues faced by millions of people who are addicted to prescription and recreational drugs and who need access to affordable addiction treatment that really provides results.
Costa Rica Medical Tourism Services has created a unique program on the grounds of a beautiful estate located on a hilltop above one of Costa Rica’s exotic tropical beaches. Added to this exotic and remote location we have assembled an exceptional staff that works hand in hand with doctors and therapists in the United States to provide a truly outstanding rehab program. Our program works – it produces results.
ADVANTAGES OF REHAB IN COSTA RICA Attending our rehab program in Costa Rica provides many benefits for any patient. Among them are:
NUEVA VIDA HEALTH AND WELLNESS FACILITY The center is situated on a hilltop 500 feet above the ocean on a two acre estate covered in lush tropical foliage along with mango trees and coconut palms. It has a beautiful infinity swimming pool with a view of the Pacific Ocean and five miles of deserted beach. Most rooms have a direct ocean views. Each room has its own private balcony and bathroom.
OUR CO MANAGED PROGRAM We use the Hazelden Method as the basis for our recovery treatment. The method includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, 12 Step and holistic therapies. We have also recognized the importance of providing continued care and support once a patient is out of a rehab facility. Our “co management program” includes the full participation of the patient’s doctor or therapist before, during and after the patient is in the rehab center. This greatly increases the chances for the patient to succeed in the rehab process.
OUR CORE HEALTH PROGRAM An integral part of our unique rehab process is our CORE HEALTH PROGRAM.
In addition to our regular program of therapy we provide a scheduled 48 hour series of interactive group sessions that last throughout the 60 days. This is our Core Health and Heart Forgiveness Program which addresses anger, self-esteem, self-identity, and relationships. This is a comprehensive program and requires a 60 day commitment to complete.
Core Health is a singular method developed by Dr. Ed Carlson over a 30 year period. It includes components and influences of Dr. John Diamond’s, Dr. David Hawkin’s and Dr. Bruce Lipton’s work and research. Core Health also encompasses and expands upon aspects of Applied Kinesiology, Behavioral Kinesiology and Energy Psychology.
Core Health uses a system of comprehensive kinesiology, an expanded version of kinesiology (drawing upon both behavioral and applied) that actually measures the energy itself, not just the physical and emotional components.
THE COST OF OUR PROGRAM We know from experience that 30 day programs usually do not provide enough time to be really beneficial to a patient. Therefore we strongly recommend a 60 day stay. We use the Hazelton Method combined with our Core Health Program that has proven to greatly increase the success of a patients rehab and reduce relapse rates.
The cost of our 60 day program is $17,900 and includes airfare, room and board, all therapies and counseling, doctor costs, the Core Health Program, weekend activities off site and the co management program with therapist in the United States during and for eight weeks after the stay in the rehab center.
There will be an additional charge for medications, (these usually cost 1/3 of what they cost in the USA). For a private room we charge an additional $1500 per month. For patients wishing to extend their stay beyond 60 days we charge $6,000 per extra month stay.
FULL PHYSICAL – MEDICAL CHECK UP We recommend all our patients spend two days at our medical center in San Jose and take a full two day physical that includes a Colonoscopy, Gastroscopy, full blood, chest x rays, abdomen ultra sound including the Pancreas, Kidneys, Liver, Bladder, Echo Stress test – full exam of the heart and arteries and a complete exam by a physician. A CAT scan and MRI are also available.
This complete exam costs between $1,500 and $2,000 and will give a person a complete profile of their overall health and may detect any abnormalities in the body.
FREE DENTAL AND EYE EXAM We provide all our patients with a complete dental exam and full evaluation at no charge with one of Costa Rica’s best dental clinics. Dental work in Costa Rica costs 1/4 of what it costs in the United States.
A SPECIAL NOTE TO THERAPISTS It is common knowledge that no child in kindergarten dreams of being an addict when they grow up. Everyone has gifts, talents, and dreams of a successful and satisfying life. We bring the patient back in touch with those lost dreams and desires. At our rehab centers in Costa Rica we work as a team with the referring therapist. We believe that the referring therapists really make a difference in the success of the program. Those who are truly committed are exactly the kind of therapists we prefer to work with.

ADVANTAGES OF REHAB IN COSTA RICA Attending our rehab program in Costa Rica provides many benefits for any patient. Among them are:
- The cost of our 60 day treatment in Costa Rica is less that 1/2 of the cost of a similar program in the United States.
- Our program in Costa Rica provides total anonymity – there will be no record of a patient’s attendance – this means an employer, friend or family member will never know about a patient’s treatment.
- Our addictions treatment center in Costa Rica is in an exotic and remote location far from the stress and influences typically found back in the United States.
- Our treatment center provides a complete change of environment and culture. Being in a tropical paradise like Costa Rica makes it a lot more acceptable for a patient to endure the rigors of rehab and enroll in the program.
- The fact that a patient is in a totally new, exciting and beautiful environment, surrounded by nature, in a wonderful warm and sunny climate, by the ocean greatly helps with the recovery process.
