About Wellness Retreat Recovery Center

Wellness Retreat Recovery Center is a luxury rehab nestled in the hills of San Jose, California. You’ll have a tranquil environment to step away from daily life and make recovery the center of your attention. They welcome adults over age 18 seeking treatment for substance use disorder and dual diagnosis.

You can live in their residential program for up to 90 days as you heal and rebuild your life. Their programs offer modern, proven approaches, such as refuge recovery, dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and SMART Recovery. They blend these interventions with holistic therapies to encourage mental, physical, psychological, and spiritual healing.

One key feature is their staff to client ratio. With a maximum of only six clients, you’ll have access to in depth and personalized treatment. They understand the unique elements that can contribute to addiction, like stress, relationship problems, debt, unemployment, and more. Their staff takes these all into consideration, creating a treatment plan that meets your specific needs.

Many previous clients report satisfaction with their care. Most recent clients expressed positive experiences with staff, person centered care, and enjoying their holistic therapies, like yoga and mindfulness. A few clients reported an unprofessional staff, experiencing issues like sharing of confidential information and poor treatment.

As always, finding the best care for you requires putting yourself first. What works for someone in treatment may not work for you. Be sure to research and consider multiple options to find the best fit.

I had been losing my battle with recovery for almost fifteen years when Wellness Retreat was recommended to me. I came here severely addicted and further traumatized by what I put myself and my family through. I needed a place where I would be treated with dignity, individually recognized for what has been ailing me and personally encouraged. This what I found here, and with a genuine compassion I have never seen or felt as an addict. There is an exceptional quality here, from checkng-in through medical treatment, group processing, education, abundance of nutrition, therapy excercise, wellness and technical assistance. With a maximum of five other clients to go through the recovery process with, the Directors of the program and even the CEO rolled up their sleeves personally caring for my recovery process. For the first time in my life since I was introduced to substances I don't hate life without them. It has been almost five months since I left wellness Retreat and I still go back on Monday afternoons to join the dance classes that gave me so much hope and happiness when I was feeling so low and dark in the beginning. This is more than a Rehab, this is a Wellness Center. If you want a life worth living without drugs and alcohol, start here.

Accepted Insurance

Wellness Retreat Recovery Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Aetna

Blue Cross Blue Shield

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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

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.

Inpatient

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.

Aftercare 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

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 Homes

Sober living homes in California offers an intermediate sober environment that has less structure than inpatient rehab but more than typical home environments. This makes it a good option for those who have concerns about transitioning back to the "real world" after treatment. Residents can typically live at the halfway house as long as they want, if they are willing to follow house rules. These may include a curfew, chores, and maintaining a job.

Intervention Services

When an individual is in denial about their substance use disorder, their loved ones may organize a drug intervention in California. This effort involves gently but assertively confronting the individual about their substance use and sharing how it has affected those who care about them. A professional interventionist may also attend this gathering. Their expertise with intervention services can prove helpful in guiding the conversation to a positive result.

24-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

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.

Treatments

Alcoholism, or alcohol use disorder (AUD), is defined by alcohol dependence. This is a state the body reaches when it experiences withdrawal symptoms in the absence of alcohol. A person who has AUD craves alcohol and continues to drink despite adverse consequences. Because withdrawing from alcohol can pose health risks, individuals with AUD should seek professional alcohol rehab in California to overcome their alcohol addiction. This process typically involves medical detox, rehabilitation, and maintenance.

Opioid Addiction

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.

Programs

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

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.

LGBTQ Program

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 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.

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.

Individual therapy for drug addiction includes a customized treatment plan that considers your history and life circumstances. During your therapy sessions, the therapist helps you uncover underlying issues and triggers for addictive behavior that support a holistic approach to recovery.

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.

Family therapy offers a platform for members to have an open dialogue about the challenges that addiction has placed on the family unit. Through guided sessions, therapists can help families develop healthy communication skills and address unresolved issues. By working together toward a common goal, they help to support their loved one's sobriety.

WRRC was the start of my new, healthier, life. All the staff went above and beyond to help in anyway they can along my journey. They truely cared about me and my specific story, even well after I left their care. I didn't think I would be into yoga, acupuncture, meditation, art, puzzles, or even working out but each staff member helped me discover some new passion I had hidden within myself. Recovery is not a solo journey that can be walked alone, it's a community adventure and the WRRC's staff are great companions along the way. The process groups and therapy changed the way I looked and dealt with my past. They also taught me tools and techniques on how to be more mindfully present and how to handle future life hurdles. The program can be only 30 days long but it's a lifetime of knowledge and support. I'm forever grateful to myself for picking up the thousand pound phone, calling these people, and walking though their doors for first time of my new life.

I have provided Art Therapy as a contractor with WRRC for about 4 months now and have absolutely enjoyed working alongside the staff, and guiding and watching the residents grow in their recovery. The facility itself is breathtaking and well maintained. Staff are warm, friendly, professional, compassionate, and go above and beyond to help residents fully focus on their recovery. I highly recommend WRRC for anyone struggling with addiction. It is a place of healing and connection. There is a genuine feeling of authenticity, wholeness, and hope in this place.

I highly recommend this recovery center for ANYONE struggling with drug and alcohol issues. After my experience here, I would not want to go anywhere else to get treatment. The overall experience was incredible and life-changing. The staff was amazing, the food was amazing, and the curriculum was great as well. I felt so comfortable here during my stay, I did not even want to go home!! 10/10 recommend. :)

This place saved my life. I was the last person to want to go to rehab or who ever thought they would've lasted a day there. This is the only place I ever could have stayed at, and it ended up saving me. I got a second chance in life because of what I was able to learn about myself while I was there along with how to finally find a cure for my disease. Before I went to Wellness, I had tried everything else; AA programs, Outpatient programs, books, etc. Nothing prevented me from relapsing again. Wellness is amazing because of the program and the staff. They all genuinely care so much. I went through some of the darkest moments of my life crying in the group sessions and they cried along with me while I healed. The love and support the staff shows is something I never dreamed of. I consider all of them family and am forever grateful for what they helped me accomplish. The living accommodations are unreal. It's hard to stay somewhere for extended periods of time but Wellness always felt like I was right at home. You go through so much healing here, in one on one therapy, group therapy, building a network outside by attending meetings in all different kinds (AA, Refuge, Smart, etc). They do such a great job at making everyone comfortable while making connections with others going through the same battle as you. When I walked through the doors, I remember telling them I didn't need help, or therapy and that I didn't have any triggers. Shortly after I found myself laughing at how oblivious I was once I finally started to understand myself and get real with myself. The staff takes you on outings every week and hikes. My favorite was sailing the San Francisco bay. It gives you a chance to see what comes up and how you feel in the real world. They play sports with you, card games, board games, you name it. Energy healing, yoga classes, meditation were all things I could never imagine myself doing. I couldn't meditate for two minutes before I came here. Now it is one of my favorite things to do. The other clients that I met during my stay are some of the bestfriends I've ever had. We went through it together and bonded over everything, unpacking our baggage one by one, laying it all on the floor, and going through it deciding what we're not going to carry going forward. I never thought I'd be able to heal from what I was running from for so long. I never thought I'd be able to go through such intense recovery. I never thought anything would help me and that I was doomed to be an alcoholic forever. I wish everyone, even non-alcoholics or addicts, got a chance to stay here. Most programs don't address the reasons WHY we drink, they don't touch on the very things were trying to numb and avoid. Wellness gives you the courage to fix drinking at the source. To fix the reasons why we drink. For me, I had every reason on earth to not drink, I hit bottom so many times and kept going. Nothing woke me up like the way the staff and program did here. You won't find a place or staff like this anywhere. You'll be transformed and it will carry far beyond just addiction help. It'll touch into every part of your life and give you a new sense of awareness, self confidence, self love, forgiveness, peace and a new appreciation to live life again, but right this time.
