What is executive rehab?

“Executive rehab” is an industry term for addiction treatment marketed to working professionals, emphasizing privacy and scheduling flexibility. It is a marketing category, not a clinical level of care. The treatment underneath is the same continuum any accredited program provides: medical detox, residential, and step-down outpatient care.

What varies is accreditation, the clinical team, and how confidentiality is handled at admission. At Ojai Recovery that means Joint Commission-accredited medical detox and residential treatment in Oak View, with coordinated referral to Ventura County partners when you step down.

Levels of care and how they fit together

Ojai Recovery delivers medical detox and residential treatment at our Oak View facility. For step-down care, we coordinate referrals to established partner programs across Ventura County rather than running those levels ourselves.

Who this program fits

This program fits adults whose job makes it hard to step away: people whose substance use is affecting judgment, safety or performance, and who need care that protects their privacy while they get well.

You may be a good fit if you are managing a demanding schedule and a substance use problem at the same time, if the prospect of anyone finding out has kept you from calling, or if a mental health condition needs treating alongside the substance use rather than after it.

What We Treat

Meth use often occurs alongside other substances. We treat a range of substance use concerns and build integrated plans for people using more than one.

Treating mental health alongside substance use

Many people arriving for detox are also managing anxiety, depression or trauma. Our team runs psychiatric evaluations and medication management alongside detox so both are addressed from the start rather than in sequence.

That matters more when work is part of the picture. Anxiety that has been managed with alcohol, or depression that has been pushed through for years, does not resolve on its own once the substance is gone. Treating both together is what makes the gains hold.

Therapies and approaches

Treatment combines clinical work with the restorative and experiential programming that defines the Social Model of Recovery.

Individual therapy gives you a private space to work through what brought you here. Group therapy builds practical skills and peer support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thinking patterns that keep use going, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds distress tolerance and emotional regulation.

Trauma-informed and attachment-based therapy shape how the whole program is delivered, not just one session a week. Alongside that: mindfulness and meditation, somatic grounding and breathwork, guided movement and stretching, trauma-sensitive yoga, art therapy and creative workshops, relapse prevention work, and access to 12 Step meetings.

What happens when you call

Admission starts with a phone call. Here is the actual sequence.

  1. We listen first. We want to understand what is happening and what kind of support you are looking for.
  2. We ask some basic questions. Substance use history, mental health needs, and your current situation.
  3. We discuss options. What we offer, what your next steps would be, and how we can help right now.
  4. We verify your insurance. Our team handles this quickly and confidentially, so you know what is covered and what is not.
  5. We plan the admission. If we are the right fit, we coordinate everything from pre-screening to intake.

Same-day admission is often possible when it is clinically appropriate. The whole process is designed to be simple, respectful and confidential.

A Day at Ojai Recovery

A Place to Breathe, Heal, and Grow

Our addiction recovery programs are designed to help you slow down, focus inward, and find balance. In the heart of Ojai’s natural beauty, you’ll experience an environment that nurtures both mind and body, with gentle mountain breezes, open skies, and quiet moments that remind you how good life can feel.

Your days here at our Addiction Treatment Center in Oak View, CA may begin with a walk along the shore of Casitas Lake, where the sunlight dances on the water and the air feels fresh with possibility. You might spend your afternoons hiking shaded trails that wind through the hills, journaling on a sunlit porch, or simply listening to the sounds of nature, a bird’s call, a rustling leaf, the soft hum of the wind.

Insurance and paying for care

Ojai Recovery is a licensed Medi-Cal provider and is in-network with Medi-Cal. We also work with a number of private insurance carriers and with self-pay clients. Network status and benefit levels vary by plan and by employer group, which is exactly what a benefits check confirms.

Rather than guess from a logo, let our admissions team verify your specific policy. Submit the free, confidential benefits check and within one business day we will call you with a clear summary of your coverage.

How you are paying does not change the standard of care you receive here.

Frequently asked questions

Will my employer find out I am in treatment?

Our admissions process is confidential. We do not contact your employer, and what you share with our team is protected health information. Whether you have any obligation to disclose treatment to your employer depends on your role, your employment agreement and applicable law, so that is a question for an employment attorney rather than for us.

Same-day admission is often possible when it is clinically appropriate and space is available. Call (805) 273-8798 and our admissions team will tell you what is realistic for your situation on that call.
