Ocean Ridge Treatment & Recovery - San Clemente

Discreet Recovery in a Tranquil Setting

The center sits in an upscale, residential enclave and is designed for quiet focus and comfort. Private rooms with available ocean views and designated workspaces allow professionals to recharge and attend to outside responsibilities between treatment sessions. Chef-prepared meals and comfortable, thoughtful amenities reduce day-to-day friction so clients can concentrate on treatment and rest. Beach walks and nearby outdoor time add a restorative rhythm to the week.

Work-Friendly Policies

For executives who can’t fully disconnect from their careers, the center offers flexible technology policies including internet connectivity and workspace. The team can guide documentation for job-protected leave or disability claims and provide practical coaching on employer communication. This can be especially helpful for clients needing to maintain confidentiality while protecting their roles.

Detox and Residential Care for Co-Occurring Needs

Care begins with medically monitored detox when needed, followed by a 30–45-day residential stay. Treatment addresses substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions together. Core, evidence-based approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse-prevention work, and trauma-informed counseling. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) are available to ease withdrawal symptoms and cravings, and medications for mental health can be prescribed as appropriate.

Holistic and Performance-Supportive Therapies

Personalized care plans are complemented with therapies that help regulate stress and improve executive functioning under pressure. Options include yoga, meditation and mindfulness, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma, neurofeedback, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for treatment-resistant depression or anxiety. Additional offerings including acupuncture, massage, horticultural therapy, expressive arts, fitness, and planned outdoor activities support sleep quality, physical recovery, and emotional clarity.

Flexible Recovery Pathways

The center offers clients choice in how they approach recovery. Options include traditional 12-Step groups, which provide structure and peer accountability, alongside secular, science-based alternatives such as SMART Recovery. For clients who prefer a mindfulness-based path, Refuge Recovery offers a Buddhist-inspired framework focused on meditation and self-awareness. This flexibility allows professionals to align their treatment with personal values and beliefs, whether they want the accountability of a peer network, a practical skills-based method, or a reflective approach.

Practical Aftercare Planning

Discharge planning begins early. Ocean Ridge organizes follow-up care, alumni programming, and ongoing groups to support reentry to work and family life. Practical relapse-prevention planning, peer connections, and regular check-ins help clients maintain momentum once they’re back to a demanding schedule.
