Addiction Treatment Services

Ojai Recovery’s residential programs are poised to provide the best substance abuse services for people struggling with drug and alcohol problems. Medication assisted treatment, care management, and holistic recovery services are just a few things our facility offers. We include evidence-backed methods for individual treatment, such as: 

Alcohol Addiction Treatment

Ojai Recovery offers medically supervised detox with 24/7 monitoring, then residential treatment integrating trauma-informed therapy, holistic modalities, and aftercare planning to address addiction's physical and psychological roots.

Drug Addiction Treatment

Ojai Recovery treats drug addiction (opioids, stimulants, prescription, polysubstance) through medically supervised detox with 24/7 monitoring and tapering, followed by residential treatment addressing trauma, co-occurring conditions, and relapse prevention.

Polysubstance Abuse Treatment

Ojai Recovery treats polysubstance addiction through medically supervised detox with 24/7 monitoring and personalized therapy to manage complex, overlapping withdrawal symptoms and health risks from multiple substance use.

Who We Treat

Unlike clinical detox centers that feel cold or institutional, Ojai Recovery offers a setting designed to soothe, ground, and nurture your nervous system. Here, healing begins with.

Substance use disorders (alcohol, drugs, or polysubstance)

We provide comprehensive care for individuals struggling with alcohol, drugs, or polysubstance use. Our approach addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of addiction, helping clients build a strong foundation for lasting recovery.

Co-occurring mental health issues (depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma)

Many people face substance use alongside depression, anxiety, PTSD, or trauma. Our integrated treatment supports both conditions simultaneously, promoting true healing and long-term stability.

Relapse after prior treatment attempts

Relapse does not mean failure, t signals the need for renewed support. We help clients process setbacks, strengthen coping skills, and regain confidence in their recovery journey.

Life disruption due to emotional overwhelm or loss of purpose

When life feels unmanageable due to stress, loss of purpose, or emotional challenges, our program offers structure and guidance to restore balance, resilience, and direction.

Burnout, grief, and emotional disconnection

We understand how grief, exhaustion, and disconnection can impact recovery. Through compassionate care, we help clients process difficult emotions and reconnect with themselves and others.

What Makes Our Residential Program Different

Beyond our staff, the environment itself is designed to support nervous system regulation and emotional stability.

Campus-Style Living With a Social Model of Recovery

Unlike traditional facilities that isolate clients in small groups, our campus hosts dozens of residents in a communal, peer-driven environment. You’ll form meaningful connections, learn from others, and rediscover your sense of belonging.

Nature as a Therapeutic Partner

Set in the Ojai Valley’s breathtaking foothills, our setting is more than beautiful, it’s intentional. Daily access to fresh air, trails, gardens, and open skies helps clients ground, reflect, and reconnect with the present moment.

Joy and Adventure Built Into the Process

We believe recovery should feel alive, not institutional. Our program includes outings, creative arts, movement, and real-life experiences that reignite joy and purpose. It’s not just about avoiding relapse, it’s about learning how to live again.

Trauma-Informed, Clinically Excellent Care

Our therapists are licensed, experienced, and deeply compassionate. We use evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, and trauma recovery frameworks to support deep emotional healing, without shame or judgment.

True Integration of Mental Health and Addiction Treatment

Too many programs treat mental health and addiction separately. We don’t. Our integrated care model addresses both simultaneously, because that’s how real healing happens.

Residential Treatment FAQ

Here are some questions people also ask about residential treatment programs, addiction treatment services, and mental health more generally.

What are the different types of outpatient mental health programs?

Outpatient mental health care offers flexible treatment while maintaining your daily routine. An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) typically involves 9-12 hours of weekly therapy for those needing significant support without 24-hour care.

Partial hospitalization programs provide comprehensive daytime treatment—usually 5-6 hours daily—while you return home evenings. Standard Outpatient Services offer weekly or bi-weekly sessions for ongoing maintenance. Each level matches your specific needs while building coping skills.

Inpatient rehab and residential mental health treatment both provide 24/7 structured care in live-in settings. Hospital-based programs offer acute, medically supervised crisis care, while Residential mental health programs and Inpatient mental health programs provide longer therapeutic environments—often 30-90 days.

Many begin with detox services or Withdrawal Management for safe, medically supervised substance clearance. After primary treatment, Sober living homes offer supportive environments to practice independence while maintaining accountability.

Individual treatment creates a private space for one-on-one work with a therapist on your specific challenges. Many programs embrace a holistic approach recognizing recovery involves mind, body, and spirit.

Holistic therapies might include mindfulness, yoga, art therapy, or nutritional counseling to complement psychological treatment. Family therapy brings loved ones into healing, helping repair relationships and build stronger support systems.

Group and individual therapy complement each other effectively. Group therapy sessions create spaces where hearing others share similar experiences reduces shame while providing diverse coping perspectives.

Peer support groups offer ongoing encouragement from people who understand your struggles. Many programs incorporate 12-step programs providing philosophical guidance and built-in community for long-term recovery.

Group dynamics help recognize relational patterns while individual therapy addresses your private journey.

The opioid crisis has become a devastating public health emergency because these substances uniquely hijack the brain’s reward system, creating physical dependence within days or weeks.

Opioid abuse—involving prescription painkillers, heroin, or fentanyl—is particularly deadly due to illicitly manufactured fentanyl being 50-100 times more potent and increasingly mixed into the drug supply. The opioid crisis touches every community across all demographics.

Effective treatments exist, including medication-assisted options, and understanding opioid addiction as a medical condition is crucial to connecting people with life-saving help.
