About Recovery Center

The Recovery Center is a residential treatment center for individuals who have been convicted of a crime. The center is in Costa Mesa, California, and provides an alternative to incarceration to address addiction and mental health issues that led to the crime.

The center’s treatment philosophy is based on the 12-step model of recovery. The program accepts insurance from some providers. 

Avoiding Future Incarceration

The goal of the program is to provide help to individuals whose mental health and addiction problems were overlooked in the past. By addressing these issues, clients who are harming themselves more than others have an opportunity to change their lives and avoid future incarceration. One of the clinicians in the program remarked, “I help good people who have done bad things.”

Alternative Sentencing 

A major aspect of the program is accountability. The clinicians strive to help individuals take responsibility for their crimes, such as drunk driving or shoplifting.

Youth in the program receive tutoring and counseling. They engage in recreational activities and assist the staff with tasks.

OCRC was my first experience in residential treatment. Well, my first treatment in anything addiction related. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Facilities - fantastic, including large communal living area w/ live and streaming television, mixed-use garage for group therapy, yoga, sound healing, kickboxing, drama therapy, acupuncture etc., full-service kitchen and dining area, outdoor pool/hot-tub, grill, etc., and very nice client rooms. Pro Tip: if able, stake your claim on the second story single occupant room across from the therapist office/laundry (it made my stay that much better). Sessions/Activities - fantastic, upon arrival it can be a bit daunting to be away from your previous non-treatment life for an extended period of time. OCRC creates an incredible balance between activities (group therapy, yoga, sound healing, kickboxing, drama therapy, acupuncture, morning reflections, end-of-day reflections, and so forth) and personal freedom for normal life activities like reading, listing to music (the staff loved my morning jazz lol), watching some tube (sports, streaming shows, whatever), hanging out back on the patio including swimming and hot tub, arts and crafts (sounds corny but I created a drawing that I'll be hanging in my house as a subtle reminder of my transformation), and general kicking back. The group therapy was my favorite. I was fortunate to have 6 clients in the house at its peak, of which had a good range of age, background, experiences but all focused on the same mission. We had some damn good group therapy sessions. Staff - superb/excellent, from operations, to nursing, therapy. I would describe the staff as very multi-dimensional. Each staff member brings a different personality and perspective to the job. Each style creates a more dynamic treatment environment which I think contributes more positively than if all staff were one-and-the-same. It's hard to list all but here goes, Matt (superhero), Tami, Liz, Jake, Grace, Marie (watch out for her brownies), Lou (my go-to for all-things sports), Christian, Austin, Emily, Angie, Damian, Halie (loves jazz lol), Jacob (funny, dry funny, hilarious), Brian (totally and unequivocally authentic and has a deep care and passion for the mission of the OCRC clients), "D", and last but not least Justin. Special shoutout to Justin. He's a total swiss army knife of the house tech operation, a great listener for early risers, and an overall tremendous person. Overall, I couldn't recommend OCRC more. The tools and weaponry these guys armor you up with for life-after is game-changing.

OCRC was an incredibly positive and life changing experience for me! The staff was extremely friendly, compassionate, helpful and knowledgeable. They geniunely care about their clients getting better and do their best to support their recovery goals. The house is beautiful, peaceful, safe, clean and comfortable with a great pool. It only houses 6 clients at the most, so we all received a huge amount of individual care, we didn't feel overcrowded and they were able to cater to all our our different needs. There are nurses and techs there 24-7 to help. I thoroughy enjoyed the private counseling, group therapy, life skills/recovery and exercise classes like yoga and boxing. I learned about the nature, science, and causes of addiction, as well as many new healthy coping strategies to replace drugs and alcohol. Everything they teach is solution based, that actually works to create a much better life! We also got to do several fun outings, along with going to different AA meetings daily. There was enough programming and activities to keep us busy, not bored, but not too much to overwelm and stress us out. They treated us with kindness and respect, not like prisoners. They fed us very well and helped us with our legal and medical issues. I'm 51 days sober today, happy, healthy, at peace and eternally grateful for this program! It was so much better than I expected and I was actualy sad to leave. They also referred me to a wonderful IOP aftercare program. Shout out to Tami, Grace, Lou, Matt, Jake, Liz, Damien, both Angies, Emily, Marie, Shonda, Justin, Christian, Austin, and D! Thank you all so much!!! I definitely could not have done it on my own! 1

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Recovery Center works with several private insurance providers, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

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

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

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 and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

When addicted, quitting your drug of choice suddenly can be dangerous. That's why experts agree a medically assisted detox is the safest way to remove addictive substances from the body. Usually done in an inpatient setting, your vitals signs and overall well being are consistently monitored and rechecked in order to keep you safe and ensure the detox is successful.

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) support a client's sustained sobriety as they exit detox or step down from an inpatient program. IOPs are also designed for clients who are at an elevated risk of relapse. Intensive outpatient treatment typically requires clients to engage in a minimum of nine hours of therapy per week, but clients may receive up to 20 therapeutic hours weekly. IOP treatment modalities often combine psychotherapy, recovery-focused life skills training, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Clients receiving treatment at an outpatient rehab typically do not require hospitalization or intensive supervision and support. Outpatient addiction counseling and recovery education are often offered during the morning, evening, night, and weekend, allowing clients to tailor treatment to their own schedule. Partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs are the most time-intensive and are designed for clients who are at an increased relapse risk and/or who need more robust therapeutic support.

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.

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.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

In California, dual-diagnosis addiction treatment programs offer comprehensive care for individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Programs include medically assisted detox, intensive outpatient, outpatient, residential rehab, and partial hospitalization. Using an evidence-based approach, clinicians utilize therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy, or dialectical behavioral therapy and mindfulness to address substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health challenges. Additional services include 12-Step recovery, group therapy, family counseling, and relapse prevention to promote sustained recovery.

Programs

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 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.

Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.

Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.

Clinical Services

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.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

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.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Cognitive behavioral therapy in California is a method that therapists often use for the effective treatment of substance use disorders. It is based on the principle that substance abuse stems from unhelpful ways of thinking and patterns of behavior, which can be changed by helping the individual learn better ways of coping.

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.
