Addiction doesn’t discriminate by substance. Whether prescription or street drugs, dependency can form quickly, and the consequences can be devastating to your health, relationships, and sense of self.
You don’t have to go through drug addiction alone. If any of these substances have taken hold of your life, compassionate help is available. Reach out today to speak with a specialist and explore safe, supportive options for recovery.
Drug addiction treatment is a structured, clinically guided process designed to help adults safely stop using drugs and address the physical, emotional, and psychological roots of dependence. Rather than a single intervention, it’s a continuum of care, often beginning with medically supervised detox to manage withdrawal symptoms, then moving into residential or outpatient treatment built around evidence-based, whole-person support: individual and group counseling, behavioral therapies, medication-assisted treatment when clinically appropriate, and care for any co-occurring mental health conditions.
Because substance use disorders rarely develop in isolation, a personalized treatment plan reflects each person’s history, the drugs involved, and their readiness for change, and may include dual diagnosis treatment when a mental health disorder is present alongside the addiction. At Ojai Recovery, the focus stays on long-term healing, not just short-term sobriety.
Deciding to stop using drugs is a powerful step, but withdrawal can be difficult and in some cases life-threatening without proper medical care. A safe, supervised detox gives you the stability and support you need to begin recovery with confidence. Our experienced team combines medical expertise with compassionate attention to help you through the physical, emotional, and mental challenges of withdrawal.
Drug withdrawal can be intense and dangerous, especially with opioids, benzodiazepines, and alcohol. Our detox program provides:
Once stabilized, clients begin full-time, residential therapeutic care designed to address both the addiction and the underlying pain. This includes:
Clients who complete drug addiction treatment at Ojai Recovery often experience:
Ojai Recovery provides medical detox and residential treatment for individuals across Ventura County, Santa Barbara County, and Los Angeles County. We regularly support clients from Ojai, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Thousand Oaks, Camarillo, and Los Angeles. We offer a structured, clinically-driven environment designed for lasting recovery with most major insurance plans accepted and same day admissions.
Choosing treatment in California comes with a few state-specific factors worth understanding. Residential and detox programs in California are licensed and overseen by the state Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), which sets standards for safety, staffing, and clinical care.
Ojai Recovery is DHCS-licensed (License No. 560086BP), a baseline assurance that the program meets California’s regulatory requirements for substance use disorder treatment.
California also offers some of the country’s stronger insurance protections for addiction care. Under the state’s mental health parity law, state-regulated commercial health plans are generally required to cover medically necessary treatment for substance use and mental health conditions on par with physical health care.
In practice, coverage still varies by plan and by what’s deemed medically necessary, so the most reliable way to know what your policy includes is to verify your insurance before admission.
Ojai Recovery works with most major private insurance providers, and our admissions team can walk you through your options at (805) 273-8798.

We look at your whole health picture – mind, body, and spirit. At our Alcohol Detox in Ventura County, CA, we offer therapy, yoga, meditation, nutrition guidance, and life skills training. These tools help you build a strong foundation for lasting recovery.
Chronic drinking, binge drinking, or self-medicating with alcohol often masks deeper emotional pain. We offer medical detox and trauma-informed therapy to help clients safely stop drinking, and rediscover life without it.

Residential treatment provides a live-in, fully supported setting that can make early recovery safer and more sustainable than trying to stop on your own. For many people leaving active addiction, the structure and round-the-clock care of a residential rehab create the stability that lasting change is built on. Benefits often include:
When you’re ready, you can verify your insurance online or call (805) 273-8798 to talk through whether residential care is the right fit.
Here are some questions people also ask about drug addiction treatment in California.
Ojai Recovery is a licensed treatment center in Oak View, in the Ojai Valley of Ventura County, Southern California. We provide medical detox and residential care for adults across Ventura County, Santa Barbara County, and Los Angeles County, and regularly support clients from Ojai, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Thousand Oaks, Camarillo, and Los Angeles.
Treatment is offered as a continuum so care can match where you are in recovery. Most people begin with medically supervised drug detox, then step into our residential (inpatient) program for full-time therapeutic care. As stability grows, many continue with outpatient treatment and aftercare. You can see the full range on our levels of care page.
It depends on the substances involved and your health history. Withdrawal from drugs like opioids and benzodiazepines can be intense and, in some cases, dangerous without medical care, so a supervised detox is often recommended first. Our detox program provides round-the-clock medical supervision, individualized tapering when needed, and trauma-informed emotional support, then a smooth transition into residential care with the same team. An assessment and evaluation at admission helps determine the right starting point for you.
Dual diagnosis treatment addresses a substance use disorder and a co-occurring mental health condition — such as depression, anxiety, or trauma — at the same time. Because untreated mental health disorders can drive relapse, our dual diagnosis and co-occurring disorders care integrates psychiatric support into the addiction treatment plan rather than treating each issue in isolation.
It can. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) uses FDA-approved medication for addiction treatment alongside counseling and behavioral therapies, and may be used to ease withdrawal and reduce cravings where clinically appropriate. At Ojai Recovery, medication-assisted treatment is provided under medical supervision as one part of a broader, whole-person plan — never as a stand-alone solution.
There’s no single timeline, because length of stay is based on clinical need, the substances involved, and your progress. Some people stay for a few weeks, while others benefit from a longer course of care followed by outpatient support. Our clinical team builds a personalized treatment plan with you and adjusts it as your recovery journey unfolds.
Ojai Recovery works with most major private insurance providers, and coverage varies by plan. The simplest way to find out what your plan covers is to verify your insurance online — it only takes a few minutes — or call our admissions team at (805) 273-8798.
Yes. Family members are an important part of recovery, and family involvement is integrated into the treatment process to help rebuild trust and strengthen each client’s support system. Reaching out on behalf of a loved one is welcome — our admissions team can walk you through next steps with compassion and without pressure.
Recovery continues beyond residential care. We help each client plan for life afterward with aftercare and alumni services, ongoing recovery support, connections to outpatient care, and community resources such as mutual-help groups — so the progress made in treatment has a strong foundation to stand on
