Private Addiction & Trauma Recovery on the Cyprus Coast
Alcohol Addiction & Detox
One-to-one, medically supervised care for those who cannot step away in public — by application only.
Alcohol addiction, clinically termed Alcohol Use Disorder, is a recognised medical condition in which a person continues to drink despite harm to their health, relationships, or responsibilities, and finds it difficult to control or stop. It exists on a spectrum from mild to severe, and for those who have become physically dependent, stopping without medical support can be dangerous.
At Holina Executive, alcohol dependence is treated privately and precisely. We accept no more than twelve clients at any time, each in their own suite within a shared coastal estate, and each supported by a treatment plan built for one person alone.
What Is Alcohol Use Disorder?
Alcohol Use Disorder is a medical diagnosis describing a pattern of drinking that a person can no longer reliably control, even as it causes harm. It ranges from mild to severe and is understood as a health condition, not a failure of character or willpower. Common signs include drinking more or for longer than intended, unsuccessful attempts to cut down, strong cravings, and continuing to drink despite consequences at work or at home.
How Does Alcohol Detox Work?
For anyone asking how to detox from alcohol safely, the essential answer is straightforward: it should be done under medical supervision. Detox is the process of clearing alcohol from the body and managing the withdrawal that can follow physical dependence. At Holina Executive, detox begins with a thorough clinical and psychological assessment. From there, withdrawal is medically monitored, with symptoms managed and vital signs observed, moving toward stabilisation at a pace appropriate to the individual. Medical oversight is provided by experienced physicians, including psychiatric input and medication management from consultants such as Dr. Aviva Wolf.
Why Choose One-to-One Treatment Over Group Rehab?
Most residential rehabilitation is delivered in groups, with shared schedules, shared spaces, and shared therapy. Holina Executive is built the other way. Care is one-to-one throughout, never group-based. Your clinical team works with you alone, on a schedule shaped around your history, your health, and your circumstances.
What Happens After Detox?
Detox addresses physical dependence. It does not, on its own, address why the drinking began or how to sustain change. Once a client is stable, the focus turns to therapeutic work: individual psychological support, treatment of any underlying trauma, and, where relevant, our Dual Treatment approach to conditions that occur alongside addiction.
Is alcohol detox dangerous without medical supervision?
It can be. In people who have become physically dependent on alcohol, sudden withdrawal can produce serious and occasionally life-threatening symptoms. Detox should always be carried out under medical supervision.
How long does alcohol withdrawal typically last?
It varies considerably from one person to the next. Because the timeline is individual, it is assessed and managed directly by our clinical team rather than following a fixed schedule.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Admission is by application only, client numbers are strictly limited, and care takes place privately within a shared estate designed to protect anonymity.
All of this takes place on a private stretch of the Cyprus coast. The estate is calm, secluded, and deliberately small — a setting that supports clinical work rather than distracting from it.
