Apaex Torrevieja begins to forge itself from the informal meetings of the mutual aid group of people affected by the problem of alcohol dependence since 1981, following the guidelines of the APAEX movement (common in other towns in the province), in the absence of response by other entities to the problem in question.
It was legally constituted as an association in 1990, the date from which the implementation of different specialized services and programs began.
APAEX stands for the Association for the Protection and Assistance of the Former Alcoholic.
A correct approach to addiction is carried out from a multidisciplinary perspective, in which we use very different treatment techniques:
- Medical and psychological assistance
- Individual interviews with patients and families
