Medical Tourism Options Include Affordable Recovery Options for Overcoming Addiction

Medical Tourism is not just for cosmetic surgery any longer, there are plenty of therapies that are eminently more affordable in Costa Rica. Overcoming Addiction is one of the ones that we'll discuss today.

Managed by a grouping of doctors and psychological therapists from the Hospital Cima group in San Jose the New Hope Center is located 45 mins south of San Jose in the plush canton of Cartago. The center is located on 300 acres of what had previously been a 4 star Barcelo resort. There are a few restaurants and countless pools and spa facilities and the level of liberty is surreal for recovery patients. This is not a recovery center for people brought kicking and howling or by court order these folk need to get better and they are treated with respect and grace by the staff. Nobody is there that does not want to be there.

Run by medical power couple Dakmare and Bill the center uses a holistic one on one approach using cognitive therapeutic strategies widely accepted as superior to the stigmatizing twelve step style brainwashing so well-liked and ineffective in numerous treatment programs.

One of the major differences between the New Hope Center in Costa Rica and its opposite numbers in the U. S. is cost. A 30 day treatment program in the U. S. starts at about thirty thousand greenbacks. The New Hope Center runs only $9600.00 for 30 days all inclusive.
