Fundación Instituto Spiral

Fundación Instituto Spiral is a Spanish non-profit foundation dedicated to the comprehensive treatment of addictions and associated mental health disorders. Founded in 1982, it has developed a range of therapeutic programs that combine residential care, outpatient intervention, family support, applied research, and professional training. The foundation is registered in the Spanish Register of Foundations under number 1305, as documented by the Ministry of Justice. The organization operates several specialized centers, primarily in the Principality of Asturias and Castile and León. These include the Therapeutic Community of Vañes in Palencia, the Llanera Center in Asturias, and the Alcoholism Unit in Oviedo. Its treatment approach is clinical, biopsychosocial, and multidisciplinary, integrating psychological, medical, and social care. Programs address substance use disorders, alcoholism, dual pathology, behavioral addictions, and specific needs such as addiction in women. Beyond direct care, Fundación Instituto Spiral engages in applied research and teaching, participating in training projects for socio-health professionals and collaborating with academic and specialized organizations. Its scientific work includes studies on predictors of therapeutic dropout and assessment tools for emotional dependence. The foundation is part of the catalogue of specialized addiction centers of Fundación FAD Juventud and in 2013 received the Order of Merit of the National Plan on Drugs from the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality. With over 40 years of experience, the foundation offers private places for patients from all over Spain and provides online therapy nationwide. Its services are adapted to each patient and each phase of recovery, ensuring personalized and evidence-based care.

Fundación Instituto Spiral was created in 1982 as a non-profit entity oriented towards the comprehensive care of people with addictions. From its beginnings, it developed therapeutic intervention programs in Asturias, later incorporating new specialized devices and services. Throughout its trajectory, the foundation has promoted care, training, and prevention projects, and has collaborated with public administrations, health services, and third-sector entities. Its registration in the Register of Foundations accredits its legal nature and its character as an entity of general interest. In 2013, the foundation received the Order of Merit of the National Plan on Drugs, a civil distinction awarded by the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality in recognition of its work in prevention, assistance, and reintegration in the field of drug dependencies. The foundation is also part of the catalogue of specialized addiction centers of Fundación FAD Juventud, where its resources are described as accredited therapeutic intervention devices. Over the decades, the foundation has expanded its network of centers, including the Therapeutic Community of Vañes in Palencia, the Llanera Center in Asturias, and the Alcoholism Unit in Oviedo. It has also developed applied research and teaching activities, participating in training projects for socio-health professionals and collaborating with academic and specialized organizations. Scientific works linked to members or collaborators of the foundation have been published in specialized journals, including studies on predictors of therapeutic dropout and instruments for assessing emotional dependence.
