Premium About Ojai Recovery
Nestled in Southern California just below Santa Barbara, Ojai Recovery is a premier luxury addiction treatment experience in a peaceful and serene environment designed for healing and transformation.
Their experienced team of medical professionals and addiction specialists provide a personalized treatment plan, which may include medically supervised detoxification and residential care to address the underlying causes of addiction to help clients achieve lasting recovery.
With a strong track record of successful treatment outcomes, compassionate around-the-clock support, and convenient door-to-door transportation, they make the journey to recovery seamless.
At Ojai Recovery, they don’t just treat addiction. They help people reclaim their lives, rebuild their futures, and discover a life beyond addiction.
Surrounded by gardens, walking trails and the dramatic backdrop of the Topatopa Mountains, the campus was designed so you can step away from everyday stress and reconnect with what recovery is really about, returning to yourself.
Your new beginning starts here.
Medically Supervised Detox and Residential Rehab on One Campus
Recovery here begins with a clinical assessment so they can tailor your program to you.
If you’re going through withdrawal from certain substances that carry a medical risk, like withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines or stimulants, you’ll start in their medically supervised detox program.
This detox has 24/7 monitoring and medication-assisted treatment when appropriate. Then you’ll transition into residential care on the same campus, keeping up your momentum at the most vulnerable point in early recovery.
Residential stays are structured in 30, 60, or 90 day formats. They also have partial hospitalization and outpatient care available as you step down.
The Social Model of Recovery
What sets Ojai Recovery apart is how they treat the community around you. Built on the Social Model of Recovery, this program views the peers you live and heal alongside as an active part of your treatment.
In their small and intimate program, they see you as a whole person. You’ll build genuine bonds in group therapy as well as during shared meals and off-campus experiences. These friendships often become a lasting source of accountability and support long after your program.
Experiential Therapies with Sound Baths, Surf and Trails
Afternoons at Ojai Recovery look different from a traditional clinical schedule. You’ll have individual and group therapy sessions that are grounded in CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care. But you’ll also practice yoga and meditation, experience sound baths and breathwork, and express yourself through art therapy.
The rehab takes advantage of their location between the Los Padres National Forest and the Pacific coast for guided beach trips and hiking excursions. Meanwhile, off site 12 step meetings connect you to the broader recovery community. Nourishing, chef prepared meals anchor each day in a campus courtyard that’s built for gathering.
Dual Diagnosis Expertise
For many people, substance use accompanies mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, PTSD and trauma. The clinical team here specializes in dual diagnosis treatment.
They’ll help you with both addiction and mental health at the same time through psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate, and therapies designed to untangle the relationship between the two.
Treating only half the picture is one of the most common reasons relapse happens, so they make sure that doesn’t happen here.
Serving the Central Coast
Conveniently located in Oak View, this rehab regularly welcomes clients from across Ventura County like Ojai, Ventura, Oxnard, Camarillo, Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley and beyond. They also serve clients from Santa Barbara, Goleta and Carpinteria.
They’re a popular choice as well for clients from the western edge of Los Angeles County including Agoura Hills, Westlake Village and Chatsworth. Their location offers the privacy of a mountain valley setting without the isolation, located roughly an hour from Los Angeles and minutes from the 101.
Accredited Care, Made Accessible
Ojai Recovery is accredited by The Joint Commission and licensed by the California Department of Health Care Services, meeting rigorous standards for safety, medical oversight and program quality.
They accept most major private insurance plans and offer same-day admissions.
Your New Life Can Begin in the Valley
Recovery isn’t just about letting go of drugs and alcohol, it’s about awakening joy, finding your rhythm, and reconnecting with what really matters. With 24/7 medical support, a whole-person approach and an alumni community that stays with you after discharge, Ojai Recovery could be where that new chapter begins for you.

Accepted Insurance
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.

Ojai Recovery knows how to help you work through those root causes and learn better ways to cope so you can put your substance use disorder behind you.
A dual diagnosis means that you have substance use disorder and also one or more mental health conditions.

Clinical Services
Cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT is the treatment standard for substance use. It’s a way of understanding your thoughts and tracking where they’re coming from and how they impact your behavior. This is a key foundation of individual and group therapy at this rehab.
Not everyone processes their emotions and needs best by talking through them. Sometimes creative arts give you a way to express yourself when words aren’t working. This rehab has creative therapies that allow you to process your recovery in your own way and also help you explore potential new ways to cope with stress in the future.
If you’re married or in a couple, addiction is like a third person in your relationship that’s driving a constant wedge between you. Addiction also looks and feels very different to the person with the addiction and their partner. Couples therapy allows you to heal from the damage that’s been done and helps you both learn how to support your recovery.
For many of us, there’s an ongoing struggle between accepting and loving who you are and working to improve yourself. Dialectical behavior therapy is a way of finding the balance between the two, and it’s a widely respected part of addiction treatment that they incorporate at Ojai Recovery.
We can learn a lot from experiences like hiking, playing sports, working with our hands, and more. At Ojai Recovery, these types of experiential therapies give you a break from the therapy room and let you step out into the beautiful California landscape to heal through activity and recreation.
It’s often said that addiction is a family disease, and it’s very true. It affects your entire family in very different ways, and it also takes a concerted effort from the family to heal it. The family therapy at Ojai Recovery helps everyone in your family understand their role in your recovery and work through the family issues that addiction has caused.
Working out is a healthy way to bring natural joy into your life, enjoy a sense of accomplishment, release stress and anxiety, and so many other benefits. Ojai Recovery has walking and running paths along with other fitness facilities so you can make fitness and exercise a natural and healthy part of your recovery.
In addiction recovery, a group setting goes a long way. It allows you to bond with other people who truly understand what you’re going through, explore topics about recovery with your peers, and get fulfillment from helping others heal too. Group therapy is a core part of the treatment at this rehab.
As beneficial as group therapy can be, you also need one-on-one time with a therapist to discuss challenges and issues that are specific to you and your recovery. At Ojai Recovery’s quality rehab in California, everyone gets the benefit of individual therapy sessions with a therapist who knows and understands you and your needs.
Not all of substance use recovery is about emotional labor. It can be fun too, and Ojai Recovery knows how to blend the two. Their recreational therapy gives you plenty of opportunities to blow off some steam, have fun with your fellow participants, and rediscover natural sources of joy without drugs and alcohol.
It’s very common for past trauma to be a major root cause in substance use, and until you’ve healed from that trauma and found ways to cope on hard days, it’ll keep pushing you back toward drugs or alcohol. The trauma therapy here is designed to help you recover from the trauma itself and protect your future sobriety.
