About Detox California at Cliffside Capistrano
Detox California at Cliffside Capistrano offers comprehensive inpatient programs for individuals facing alcohol and drug addiction, as well as co-occurring mental health disorders.
From detox to residential treatment, every stage of care is guided by experienced clinicians using a wide range of therapeutic approaches tailored to each client’s unique needs. Just minutes from the calming shores of the Golden Coast, the upscale facility provides a serene and inspiring setting for recovery.
Personalized Care with Expert Support
As a luxury treatment center, Detox California maintains a high staff-to-client ratio to ensure every individual receives attentive, personalized care. Treatment plans integrate evidence-based therapies, medical oversight, nutritional guidance, and holistic practices to support whole-person healing. During detox, the medical team carefully manages withdrawal symptoms, allowing clients to focus on recovery with greater comfort. Many continue into the residential program, where therapy delves into the psychological and emotional roots of addiction. Core methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and group therapy—all designed to promote sustainable recovery.
A Balanced Daily Program
Detox California addresses both the physical challenges of addiction and the deeper emotional and psychological factors that fuel it. Days begin with mindfulness practices such as meditation or yoga to ground body and mind. Individual and group therapy sessions follow, alongside skill-building workshops designed to strengthen resilience. Afternoons may be devoted to art, music, or personal reflection, while evenings center on relaxation and connection through journaling, movie nights, or group reflections that reinforce progress and set the stage for tomorrow’s growth.
Comfort and Renewal in a Coastal Setting
Designed with comfort in mind, Detox California offers private rooms with scenic views, a fitness center, spa activities, and chef-prepared gourmet meals that nourish body and mind. Clients enjoy access to outdoor activities such as hiking, ocean walks, kayaking, and even whale watching—unique experiences that foster both physical rejuvenation and emotional renewal. Through individualized aftercare planning, the program equips clients with tools, strategies, and community connections to sustain recovery long after treatment ends.
