United Recovery Project - Riviera

Gender-Specific Tracks to Feel Better Understood, More Supported in Recovery

Women may experience higher rates of depression, anxiety, and trauma, while men are less likely to seek help due to stigma. To address these differences, the facility offers gender-specific programming that tailors therapy to each group’s needs. Women receive care that acknowledges the impact of trauma and hormonal changes on mental health. Men’s programs focus on breaking stigma, addressing substance use patterns, and developing coping skills for stressors such as employment loss or relationship strain.

Empowering Young Adults in Their Mental Health and Independence

The specialized young adult program provides a structured but supportive environment for individuals ages 18 to 25. Treatment emphasizes evidence-based therapies and group sessions, alongside recreational and wellness activities that encourage engagement. Educational and vocational support helps participants prepare for independence, while dual-diagnosis services address overlapping mental health and substance use concerns.

Whole Person Healing That Also Reduces Stress

Residents can take part in holistic therapies such as yoga, meditation, acupuncture, massage, and nutritional counseling, all designed to reduce stress and restore balance. Experiential therapies like art, music, and equine-assisted therapy provide creative outlets for expression and healing. These services complement evidence-based treatments, promoting physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being while equipping residents with long-term coping strategies.

Aftercare Planning for Independence and Ongoing Recovery

Treatment includes psychoeducation, life-skills training, vocational support, and relapse prevention planning. Residents learn communication, problem-solving, and stress management techniques that strengthen independence. Upon discharge, individualized aftercare plans may include outpatient therapy, alumni programming, or local support groups to provide continuity of care and reinforce progress.

Space for Recreation, Reflection, and Overall Recovery

This facility combines modern design with serene indoor and outdoor spaces to create a safe and calming atmosphere. Shared and private room options, secure courtyards, and peaceful common areas support rest and community connection. Amenities include catered meals with dietary accommodations, a basketball court, and recreational spaces that promote both relaxation and physical wellness. Together, these features foster a healing environment where residents can focus fully on recovery.
