Quinta Horta da Nora – Castro Verde
About Quinta Horta da Nora
Quinta Horta da Nora is a residential therapeutic community for adolescents aged 15 to 18, run by ART, Associação de Respostas Terapêuticas, on a five-hectare farm in Castro Verde, Beja district. The community has capacity for 70 young people, 56 of them on beds contracted with the Ministry of Health, and admits young people with addictions and multiple risk factors.
ART states that its therapeutic communities are the only ones in Portugal working exclusively with minors. The programme draws on cognitive-behavioural, psychoanalytic and systemic approaches and moves through four stages, integrate, develop, consolidate and reintegrate, with the aim of positive and active social reintegration supported by family and the young person’s wider network. Psychological and social support, group therapy and occupational and recreational activities make up the day, delivered by a team that includes a child psychiatrist, clinical and organisational psychologists, social workers and social educators. ART also runs two other communities, Quinta do Sol and Horizon Farm.

Quinta Horta da Nora Alcohol and Drug Services
Quinta Horta da Nora offers long-term residential treatment for adolescents aged 15 to 18 with addictions, multiple risk factors and socially maladjusted behaviour, in a specific programme for minors. Therapy follows cognitive-behavioural, psychoanalytic and systemic models and combines psychological support, social support, group therapy and occupational and recreational activities within a phased therapeutic plan.
The substances treated are not itemised on ART’s pages; the community describes its work as addiction treatment for young people in the round rather than by drug, and stage durations are not stated. A child psychiatrist leads the clinical side, supported by psychologists, social workers and social educators organised into technical, educational and monitoring departments. The farm itself offers a cafeteria, gym, common and meeting rooms, art studios, a multimedia room, laundry and a mini-golf course, with collective housing for residents. Values of empathy, change, trust and family run through the programme.

How Much Does Treatment at Quinta Horta da Nora Cost?
Quinta Horta da Nora has 56 of its 70 places contracted with the Ministry of Health under an ICAD convention, so an adolescent admitted through the public referral route pays a client contribution rather than the full cost. The remaining places are privately funded and self-pay, typically €6,000 to €16,500 a month, and ART can quote on request.
No fee schedule was published on ART’s pages, and the contribution for a contracted place is set through the public treatment team rather than by the community. Families should contact Quinta Horta da Nora or ART’s central services for pricing tailored to the young person’s situation, including what personal expenses are expected during the stay.

Quinta Horta da Nora Reviews
Reviews of Quinta Horta da Nora from around the web are limited, which is expected for a therapeutic community that treats only minors and protects their privacy. RehabSeekers hosts reviews for this community, and parents, guardians or former residents who have now reached adulthood are welcome to share their experience of the farm and its programme.
Accounts of how the team worked with the family, how schooling and daily routine were handled on the farm and what support followed the reintegration stage would help other families deciding whether this community is right for their child. Comments found online about ART may concern its other communities, Quinta do Sol or Horizon Farm, rather than Castro Verde.
