About Olympia House Rehab
In the Sonoma County hills, Olympia House Rehab runs an addiction treatment center in Petaluma, California, on 140 acres of farmland. It takes adults of any gender.
The residential rehab in California holds 38 rooms with differing privacy, and an intensive outpatient program runs alongside it. The farmland has walking trails, and vegetarian and vegan options are available.
CBT and DBT Twice a Week
Olympia House runs cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, each held twice weekly. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches skills for handling intense feeling without acting on it, and cognitive behavioral therapy works on the link between a person’s thinking and what they do next. Yoga or qigong meets five days a week, and an equine therapy group is on the schedule.
Dual Diagnosis Care in Petaluma
The intake assessment covers mental health as well as substance use, and each client is assigned a mental health therapist and a drug and alcohol counselor. That division is how dual diagnosis care usually works, with one clinician following the mental health side and the other the drinking or drug use, so neither waits to finish. Olympia House also brings physician specialists into medication-assisted treatment, where a medication supports the counseling work.
Insurance can apply to a stay, though a PPO plan may be required. Most major insurance plans are accepted in network, and private pay is an option.

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.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
The Olympia House Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers outpatient rehabilitation services for adults with substance abuse problems. With a focus on wellness and recovery in all aspects of one’s life, Olympia House IOP is able to support people in their journey to sobriety. The program is designed to be completed over eight weeks, depending on individual needs and insurance requirements. It includes 9 hours of group counseling and 1 hour of individual counseling per week, random drug and alcohol testing, and monthly family support meetings.
Inpatient rehab provides intensive treatment for clients exiting detox, those in early recovery, and those at an elevated risk of relapse. Unlike outpatient drug rehab, clients receiving inpatient care reside at the facility for the duration of the program. The length of stay may range from two weeks to 18 months or more, depending on the client's needs and the program's design. Inpatient treatment typically involves extensive addiction education and recovery-focused life skills training.
The intensive outpatient program at Olympia is built for adults with substance use problems who need outpatient care without living at the center.
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.
Participants engaged in 12 step programs receive intensive peer coaching (sponsorship) and community support. Spiritual development as a means of achieving psychological and emotional healing and growth is the cornerstone of 12 step recovery, but religious affiliations are not required. Meetings are free, anonymous, and open to the public, though specialized formats are available, including groups for seniors, teens, and family members. Evening, night, and day meetings are conducted year-round in most communities.
Sober Living Environments (SLE) offer stable, clean and sober housing to adults with a substance use disorder. Individuals in early recovery face a variety of issues as they begin to create a clean and sober life. The sober living environments provide a clean, safe environment, free from alcohol and drugs, where residents can focus on the transition from a structured treatment center environment to a more independent and self-motivated, recovery-based lifestyle engaged with the outside community. Unlike treatment centers, the sober living environments do not provide treatment or professional services. Instead, they provide a primarily peer-lead structure to assist individuals in regaining independence. Management of the houses is provided by a live-in house manager. The house manager assures that residents are adhering to the rules of the program and that the environments remain safe and free from drugs and alcohol.
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
Clients get both a mental health therapist and a drug and alcohol counselor, plus AA, NA, LifeRing, Refuge Recovery or SMART Recovery meetings through the week.
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.
Treatment starts with an assessment that covers both substance use and mental health, and each client gets a mental health therapist alongside a drug and alcohol counselor.
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
The program is for adults over 18. That includes the intensive outpatient program, which is set up for adults with substance use problems.
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.
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
Clinical Services
Cognitive behavioral therapy runs twice a week, so it's a regular part of the schedule rather than an occasional session.
Equine therapy, aka equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions and activities with horses. It does not necessarily involve riding horses, but all activities related to horses, such as feeding, grooming, haltering and leading them. A mental health professional frequently oversees the activities (often in conjunction with a horse professional), and helps patients process their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns during and/or after the interaction.
In addition to individual therapy, every day of the week is highly structured around a variety of group therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, relapse prevention, process groups, yoga/qigong, anger management, 12-step groups, and Life Story groups.
The residential treatment program provides intensive individual therapy with a psychologist or licensed marriage and family therapist three times a week. Residents also receive individual therapy from an experienced drug and alcohol counselor three times a week. As part of completing the program, each resident develops a highly individualized treatment plan based on the assessment of and communication between themselves and their treatment team.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
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.
While in rehab treatment, you may work on developing various life skills to help you in long term recovery. These may include resilience, interpersonal skills, and self awareness. The focus will be on developing healthy habits for self care and relationships so you have the skills you need to manage day to day life.
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.
While participating in dialectical behavior therapy in California, you'll focus on four key areas of skill development: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. Treatment includes weekly individual and group sessions.
