Immersive Healing
in a Coastal Sanctuary

Program length is determined by your clinical team based on your comprehensive ASAM assessment, substance use history, co-occurring conditions, and recovery goals. We offer 30-day, 60-day, and 90-day residential programs. Research from NIDA consistently shows that longer treatment duration — particularly 90 days or more — produces significantly better long-term sobriety outcomes. Our team will recommend the appropriate length during your initial evaluation.

Detox (medical detoxification) is the first phase of treatment, focused on safely managing withdrawal symptoms under 24/7 medical supervision. Residential treatment begins after medical stabilization and is where the deeper clinical work happens — individual therapy, group sessions, trauma processing, dual diagnosis treatment, and relapse prevention. Most clients transition from detox directly into our residential program to maintain continuity of care.

Yes. Our residential program is a fully integrated dual diagnosis program, meaning we treat substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions — such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma — simultaneously. Research shows that treating both conditions concurrently produces significantly better outcomes than addressing them separately. Every client receives a psychiatric evaluation and individualized mental health treatment plan as part of their residential care.

Our residential program integrates 12 evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing, REBT with SMART Recovery, 12-Step support, Family Systems Therapy, Experiential Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, Relapse Prevention, and Psychoeducation with Life Skills training. Each client receives a personalized treatment plan tailored to their unique clinical needs.

Most major insurance plans — including PPO plans, Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and others — cover residential addiction treatment when medical necessity criteria are met. Our admissions team will conduct a free, confidential insurance verification before you arrive so you understand your coverage and any out-of-pocket costs. We also offer guidance on financial assistance options.

Yes. We encourage family involvement and offer designated visiting hours, family therapy sessions, and a family education program. Visiting policies vary by your stage of treatment, and our team will provide a detailed schedule upon admission.

Clients stay in private ocean-view suites with king beds, premium linens, en-suite bathrooms, and balconies. Our Huntington Beach facility also features dedicated therapy spaces, a tranquil garden, a fitness center, and a coastal setting — all designed to support your physical, emotional, and spiritual recovery.

Location matters in recovery. Huntington Beach offers a uniquely therapeutic environment — the calming influence of the Pacific Ocean, year-round mild weather, and access to a strong Southern California recovery community. Research supports the role of environment in treatment outcomes: a peaceful, distraction-free setting improves focus, reduces stress, and supports the neurological healing process. Our coastal facility is specifically designed to leverage these benefits.

Discharge planning begins on your first day of treatment. Before you leave, your clinical team creates a comprehensive aftercare plan tailored to your needs. Most clients step down to our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) or Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) to maintain clinical momentum. We also coordinate sober living placement, continued individual therapy referrals, and alumni support to ensure a seamless transition back to daily life.

Our residential program treats the full spectrum of substance use disorders, including alcohol use disorder (AUD), opioid use disorder (including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription painkillers), stimulant addiction (methamphetamine, cocaine), benzodiazepine and sedative dependence, cannabis use disorder, and complex polysubstance use. Each client receives a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment to build an individualized treatment plan addressing their specific substance history.

Residential treatment (ASAM Level 3.5) is indicated for moderate-to-severe substance use disorders — typically those meeting 2 or more DSM-5 criteria, or clients with prior treatment failures, high-relapse-risk home environments, co-occurring psychiatric conditions, or complex withdrawal histories. Our admissions team conducts a free ASAM assessment to determine the appropriate level of care. Clients with milder presentations may be better suited to our PHP or IOP programs.

Absolutely — prior outpatient treatment failure is one of the most common clinical indicators for residential care. If less intensive treatment has not produced lasting results, the structure, immersion, and 24-hour clinical support of residential treatment addresses what outpatient programs cannot: environmental triggers, lack of containment, and the need for deeper neurological and psychological recovery work.
