California Detox

Coastal Recovery Setting

The center features beach access, ocean view rooms, and a quiet, home-like setting designed to lower stress. Care begins with a personal assessment, followed by medically supervised detox and residential treatment with 24/7 clinical support. The small census size keeps groups intimate and focused and allows clients to benefit from maximum individual attention. The center treats substance use disorders and co-occurring conditions, helping clients stabilize physically and emotionally while building healthy routines.

Integrated Evidence-Based and Holistic Care

Treatment plans are adapted to clients’ needs and include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), family therapy, and solution-focused recovery work. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) are available to help manage withdrawal and cravings. Holistic activities such as mindfulness, meditation, and yoga are offered to help balance body and mind. This blend supports emotion regulation and trauma processing at each client’s individual pace.

Upscale Accommodations and Flexible Technology Policy

The center’s environment emphasizes comfort and discretion. Clients stay in private rooms with balconies overlooking the coast and can enjoy outdoor dining and lounge areas, gardens, and walking trails. Daily life includes chef-prepared, healthy meals which can accommodate dietary restrictions. The Executive Rehab Program allows clients to use their personal laptops and smartphones between therapy sessions to stay in touch with work, family, and other outside responsibilities without disrupting treatment.

Aftercare and Ongoing Support

Discharge planning starts early to make sure clients leave with an effective aftercare plan. After treatment is complete, staff conduct periodic check-ins to make sure clients are doing well and staying on the right track. Ongoing support includes recovery coaching, alumni events, and options for follow-up sessions in-person or online. The center is part of District Behavioral Health, which operates sister facilities across California and in Florida, with locations specializing in inpatient and outpatient care for substance use and mental health. Based on individual needs and preferences, clients can be referred to continuing care within the District Behavioral Health network.
