Reviews reflect individual experiences. Results vary, and no review represents a typical or guaranteed outcome.
Treatment starts with medical stability and a focused stretch away from work, then steps down to care that fits around your job. We deliver detox and residential care on site and coordinate everything after that.
| Level of care | What it involves | Delivered by |
|---|---|---|
| Medical detox | 24/7 monitoring of vital signs and withdrawal symptoms, with psychiatric evaluation and medication management when clinically indicated | Ojai Recovery, Oak View |
| Residential treatment | Structured days, private bedrooms, individual and group therapy, holistic programming and the Social Model of Recovery | Ojai Recovery, Oak View |
| Partial hospitalization (PHP) | Intensive daytime programming while living at home | Partner program in Ventura County, coordinated by our team |
| Intensive outpatient (IOP) | Ongoing therapy and groups while returning to work and daily life | Partner program in Ventura County, coordinated by our team |
| Aftercare and alumni | Continuing-care planning and alumni connection after treatment | Ojai Recovery |
How long each stage lasts depends on clinical need, your progress and your plan’s benefits. Your care team reviews the timeline with you as treatment moves along, rather than fixing a number of days before anyone has assessed you.

The program fits adults whose job makes it hard to step away, and whose substance use is starting to affect judgment, safety or performance. It also fits people who haven’t called anyone yet because they’re worried about who might find out.
Our admissions process is confidential, and we don’t contact your employer. Substance use treatment records are protected by federal rules, including 42 CFR Part 2 and HIPAA, and are generally shared only with your written consent or in limited situations the law allows.
Whether you need to disclose treatment to an employer or licensing board depends on your role, your employment agreement, your board’s rules and applicable law. Those are questions for an employment attorney, your licensing board or your profession’s health program, and we’ll encourage you to ask them early.
If you’re covered through a spouse’s or employer’s plan, the policyholder may receive an Explanation of Benefits (EOB), the insurer’s statement of what was billed and paid. Ask admissions how communication is handled for your situation.
Many professionals who come to us for detox are also managing anxiety, depression or trauma. Our team provides psychiatric evaluation and medication management alongside detox, so both are addressed from the start.
We treat co-occurring conditions including depression, anxiety disorders, trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and bipolar disorder. Care is led by our Medical Director, Dr. Gina Rossetti, a physician with more than a decade in addiction medicine, and our Clinical Director, Oriana Murphy, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW).
Explore co-occurring care
We treat alcohol, opioid (including fentanyl and heroin), prescription drug, benzodiazepine, stimulant, marijuana and polysubstance use. Many professionals come to us using more than one substance, and we build one integrated plan around all of it.

Treatment combines clinical therapy with the restorative programming of the Social Model of Recovery. Your plan is built around what you need, not a fixed menu.

Admission starts with one confidential phone call. Here’s the sequence.

Not from us. Our admissions process is confidential, we don’t contact your employer, and your treatment records are protected health information under federal law. Whether you have any obligation to tell your employer depends on your role, your employment agreement and applicable law, so check with an employment attorney or HR.
It depends on your profession, your state board’s rules and your circumstances. Some boards offer confidential professional health or monitoring programs. Ask your board, your profession’s health program or an attorney, and our admissions team can help you prepare those questions.
No. We provide medical detox and residential treatment at our Oak View facility. When you’re ready to step down, we connect you with established partner PHP and IOP programs in Ventura County and help coordinate the handoff.
Detox and residential care require time away from work so you can focus on safety and stabilization. Step-down care through a partner IOP is usually designed to fit around work. Some people use job-protected leave, such as the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), if they’re eligible, so confirm with HR.
Often, yes: many private plans cover medically necessary addiction and mental health treatment, and federal parity law requires comparable coverage to medical care, though prior authorization and limits can apply. We’re also in-network with Medi-Cal, and a free benefits check confirms what your specific plan covers.
Same-day admission is often possible when it’s clinically appropriate and space is available. Call (805) 273-8798 and our admissions team will tell you what’s realistic for your situation on that call.
