Mountain Springs Recovery

Who is this facility a good fit for?

• Best fit if: Adults who want residential treatment in a very small, private setting; professionals or executives who may need phone or laptop access during treatment; people seeking care for both substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions; those who want a blend of evidence-based and holistic therapies; have private insurance or can self pay.

• Not a fit if: Those who want a fully unplugged or highly restrictive treatment environment; looking for a large peer community or a more social program; individuals who need hospital-level or more intensive medical care than a residential setting provides; those looking for outpatient-only care without a residential stay.

What to expect

Developing your care plan

• Personalized planning: The facility develops an individualized treatment plan based on each client’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
• Progress assessments: Progress is measured using individualized treatment goals and reassessed throughout treatment.
• Detox and length of stay: Detox is medicated when needed and typically lasts about 3–14 days, with 30-, 60-, and 90-day residential options, depending on client needs.

Typical schedule

• Structured with flexibility: Clients participate in group therapy throughout the day, but the schedule is not overly rigid, and includes personal time.
• Daily programming: Treatment includes 12-step classes, non-12-step classes, SMART Recovery support, holistic care options, and individual therapy multiple times per week.
• Technology and visitation: Weekly outings are available, clients can stay in contact with family during treatment, and Sunday visitation is allowed with therapist approval.

Who you will meet with

• Clinical and medical staff: Clinical staff include a medical director, clinical director, therapists, and a broader licensed treatment team.
• Therapeutic support: Clients can expect to meet with a therapist multiple times per week in addition to participating in daily group-based programming.

Living experiences and amenities

• Luxury, home-like setting: The program is set in a scenic mountain setting and is more luxurious than a typical residential rehab.
• Small program size: With 6 beds, the facility offers a low client-to-staff ratio and a quieter, more personalized environment.
• Comfort-forward accommodations: The setting features spacious shared bedrooms with king-size beds, dressers, closets, ensuite bathrooms, and mountain views.
• Amenities: Clients have access to an outdoor pool, gazebo, fire pit, outdoor patio, fitness center, recreation room, computer lab, and chef-prepared meals.

Client Reviews

Clients frequently describe a supportive, community-driven program with strong staff engagement and meaningful therapeutic work. Some reviews, however, raise concerns about boundaries, discharge planning, and consistency in oversight.

• Staff & Care Experience (85% positive): Many clients highlight compassionate, approachable staff who create a nonjudgmental and supportive environment. Some, however, suggest inconsistencies in professionalism or boundaries. "They don’t just talk about empathy, they live it."
• Treatment Quality & Outcomes (90% positive): Reviews emphasize effective group work, trauma-focused therapy, and practical tools that support long-term recovery and self-understanding. A few clients report gaps in individualized care or clinical follow-through. "I left with hope, tools, and a network of people who genuinely care."
• Support & Community (90% positive): Many clients describe a strong sense of connection, peer support, and lasting relationships formed during treatment. Some concerns appear around peer dynamics and supervision. "I made lifelong friends… people I will call when I’m struggling."
• Facility & Environment (80% positive): The setting is often described as clean, comfortable, and scenic, with amenities like outdoor activities and shared spaces supporting recovery. A few reviews note issues with upkeep or food quality. "The facility itself is clean and welcoming, with spaces designed for both reflection and connection."
• Access & Process (65% positive): Admissions, structure, and flexibility (like technology access) are appreciated by many, but some clients and families report challenges with communication, discharge planning, and consistency in policies.
