Predictable Routine with Both Structure and Leisure

Each day is intentionally structured to support physical stability, emotional growth, and long-term recovery. Clients follow a daily schedule that includes morning meditation, individual and group therapy, wellness activities, educational classes, and dedicated time for reflection or rest. This consistent framework gives clients the predictability and purpose they may have lost during active addiction. Weekends continue with programming but allow for additional leisure, social reconnection, and structured outings. By blending rigor with flexibility, clients foster self-discipline without feeling overwhelmed, which can help set the foundation for sustaining recovery after treatment.

Therapies That Support Mind and Body

Clients participate in wellness activities like journaling, meditation, mindfulness, and physical fitness. Specialty groups address trauma, grief, identity, and healthy relationships, while art therapy and creative expression provide non-verbal healing outlets. Nutritional support and freshly prepared meals promote physical health and emotional regulation. This whole-person approach helps patients not just achieve sobriety, but also rebuild their lives with hope and meaning.

Working with Families for Success After Treatment

The immersive family treatment includes multi-day educational workshops and ongoing support groups. These programs help families understand addiction, rebuild trust, set healthy boundaries, and learn practical communication tools. The approach acknowledges that family involvement is one of the strongest predictors of sustained recovery and helps break cycles of shame, blame, and disconnection. In addition to group sessions, the clinical team can engage family members in the treatment planning process when appropriate, ensuring a more supported re-entry to life outside of treatment.

Quiet and Comfortable Space to Focus on Recovery

Set in a quiet, residential neighborhood in Rancho Cordova, the facility blends comfort with professionalism. The six-bed facility is intentionally small, creating an intimate and private setting for healing. The space features clean, cozy bedrooms, modern bathrooms, a gourmet kitchen, communal areas for group sessions or relaxation, and a sunlit dining room. Residents enjoy amenities like nutritious chef-prepared meals, access to outdoor walking paths and parks, and thoughtfully designed living quarters that promote rest and dignity. These high-end accommodations reduce environmental stress, allowing patients to focus fully on the emotional work of recovery.
