One Word: Gratitude. I checked into Ocean Hills Recovery on August 17, 2023, and as of today, I have 1 year, 10 months, and 15 days sober—all thanks to this incredible program and the people behind it. From day one, I felt seen, heard, and valued. Ocean Hills isn't just another recovery center—they go above and beyond to treat you as an individual, not just a number. The staff is beyond amazing, compassionate, and truly dedicated to your healing journey. The support groups are powerful, the locations are peaceful and beautiful, and the food? Wow—absolutely delicious and nourishing. I'll never forget Reiki sessions on the beach, the incredible medical and clinical team, and the quiet moments that helped reshape my life. Ocean Hills taught me one of the greatest truths: "Tomorrow has already happened, and tomorrow never comes. The time is always now. Master the minute, and you master your life." If you're on the fence or struggling with fear—know this: they do it right here. With compassion, patience, and grace. I thank God for this place and every single person who works there. God bless Ocean Hills Recovery. You saved my life and my fathers as well who's battling dementia and without a sober and headstrong son I would not have him today. We both thank you! Love!

Ocean Hills Recovery helped me in one of my darkest times of my life. I was majorly depressed, anxious all of the time, couldn't sleep, and had no desire to do anything. While there we had several group sessions a day, spoke to a psychiatrist, therapist, and a case manager once a week. The group sessions helped me so much. To listen to other people's stories, how it affected them, and how they are dealing with it. The group leaders taught us so many coping mechanisms and that we do not have to live the way we have been "living". There are so many ways to fill your life with joy. Give yourself grace. Thank you especially to Ryan, Aubrey, and Kacie. They are amazing techs!

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Rehab aftercare programs offer clients in addiction recovery a robust continuum of care after clients have completed active treatment. These services address recovery as a life-long process and are designed to evolve with clients' changing needs. Clients may partner with their case managers and/or addiction recovery team to identify the rehab aftercare services that are right for them. They may receive career counseling, housing assistance, peer coaching, 12 step program induction, among many other services.

12-step icon12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex & Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA). The 12-Step method of recovery is part of our comprehensive treatment of drug and alcohol addiction at Ocean Hills Recovery. A New Approach to Treatment: Ocean Hills Recovery provides a program that is completely unique.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

Commonly known as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is an intensive form of outpatient treatment where clients meet during the day and return home in the evening. PHP treatment doesn't require 24-hour care and often serves as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or a step-down after a residential program. With PHP treatment, you can receive daily support for 6 to 8 hours which includes evidence-based therapies and medication management. The cost of PHP treatment typically varies but averages 90 days.

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

During the first phase of recovery – detox – it is crucial to have 24-hour clinical care in California. This care provides constant monitoring in order to ensure your safely and comfort as you progress through the withdrawal process for drug or alcohol addiction. Licensed professionals prescribe medications to treat withdrawal symptoms and provide frequent monitoring to ensure your safely as addictive toxins leave your system.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.

Dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders are common among people in recovery. Ocean Hills Recovery can help. They can guide you through the myriad problems associated with addiction and mental illness. By dual diagnosis treatment the entire individual, can provide thorough, effective dual diagnosis in California. They provide the social, physical, spiritual, and emotional support they need to recover. Ocean Hills Recovery has developed a unique approach to dual diagnosis treatment that combines social, medical, spiritual, and psychological interventions to ensure the greatest possibility of success in recovery at dual diagnosis treatment center California.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

During group therapy, men and women learn to express their emotions openly in a non judgmental setting. This helps you process your feelings and reduces feelings of social isolation that are often associated with addiction.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

For clients who are struggling with ambivalence toward change, motivational interviewing in California can help strengthen their commitment to change. Using a conversational method, the therapist helps you explore your motivations and empowers you to make the changes you desire.

Trauma therapy is a structured approach used by therapists to help you heal from a past traumatic event. Your therapist works with you to identify the traumatic memory and process the information so you experience emotional healing and a sense of safety and stability.

The goal of couples therapy in California is to strengthen the couple's relationship. The therapist may take one or more approaches to counseling which may include the Gottman method, emotionally focused therapy, behavioral therapy, and psychodynamic couple's therapy.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Tho I was only out there for 2 weeks, from West Palm Beach. The staff was INCREDIBLE, they really went out of their way for their patients. Always remained professional and made the entire experience very warm and comfortable. If not for LA's weather conditions, I would have stayed longer. The total experience was 10/10

I definitely wasn’t a happy person when I got to OHR, but a couple weeks in something really clicked for me and I started to change and even though there were issues I still am so thankful for OHR and their constant calls to get me on a plane and fly me to a new life and that’s what my husband and I are doing. Everything‘s been great. We’re still in intensive outpatient, but we are making leaps in our recovery and we really THANK OHR for being the start point of a beautiful new life here in Cali, you guys are responsible for the foundation of my recovery and intro to AA. The techs were absolutely amazing. I have made lasting bonds with so many people and love going back to my starting point and participating in panels sharing my story and talking to other women. I have discovered my passion for helping others in their journey as well. I will always have a spot in my heart for OHR!

Had a buddy there. They wouldn’t let him use the phone when he was getting discharged. His insurance ran out. They do not care about clients. Will just put them on the street without letting them use the phone. To make arrangements to find another place. 0 out of 5.

Ocean Hills provided me with a solid foundation to build upon when I transitioned into a 3 month IOP program immediately following. As with any program, you get out of it what you put into it. I was at a point where I desperately needed change, and the staff did a great job providing me with the tools in order to be successful.
