Staying here is like being on holiday, but you come back a new person,’ says John McKeown, clinical director at Ibiza Calm, a residential rehabilitation clinic for treating alcoholism and drug addiction, as well as other psychological problems that come with addiction.
Trained in London as an addiction counsellor and clinical psychotherapist at Guy’s and St Thomas’, and King’s School of Medicine, McKeown is registered with the UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy) and has worked in the addiction and mental-health field since 1987. He was instrumental in setting up the first drug and alcohol rehabilitation project in the British prison system. He also ran a private practice and consultancy in Harley Street London, providing services to several Premier League football clubs, working clinically and delivering education programmes.
