Alcohol & Drug Rehab in Dana Point

Salterra OC Detox & Treatment provides licensed residential rehab and inpatient addiction treatment in Dana Point, Orange County, California. Our private six-bed program gives adults recovering from alcohol and drug addiction the time, structure, and personalized care to build lasting recovery.

Treatment combines individualized addiction therapy, individual and group counseling, a 12-step focus, and relapse prevention. Each client’s treatment plan reflects their substance-use history, clinical needs, strengths, and recovery goals, with family involvement and case management incorporated as appropriate.

We address substance use alongside co-occurring mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and trauma. Our clinical team helps clients understand these connections and develop healthier coping skills, with psychiatric evaluation and medication management coordinated when needed. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) evaluation is part of care for every client with opiate or opioid addiction.

Clients completing detox at Salterra can continue into residential treatment in the same familiar setting. From admission, our team also develops an individualized aftercare plan to connect each client with continued treatment, medication care, and recovery resources after discharge.

Why Choose Residential Treatment?

Residential treatment provides the structure, time, and support needed to continue recovery beyond detox. In a residential setting, clients can step away from everyday stressors and focus more fully on understanding patterns related to substance use, developing healthier coping skills, and building a stronger foundation for continued recovery.

At Salterra, clients may benefit from:

  • 24/7 support and supervision in a safe, structured setting

  • Individualized clinical care, including individual and group counseling and family involvement when appropriate

  • Daily recovery-focused activities that encourage accountability, connection, and healthy routines

  • Relapse-prevention and coping-skills development tailored to each client’s needs

  • Continuing-care planning and referrals to PHP, IOP, outpatient treatment, sober living, or other appropriate services

Residential treatment provides a structured environment where clients can focus on recovery while developing the skills, insight, and support needed for life beyond treatment.

What Residential Treatment Includes

At Salterra OC Detox & Treatment, residential care is individualized and may include:

  • IIndividual therapy focused on substance use, recovery goals, personal growth, underlying patterns, and each client’s individual needs.

  • Group therapy and psychoeducation to build insight, coping skills, connection, accountability, and recovery knowledge.

  • Relapse prevention to identify triggers, high-risk situations, and strategies for maintaining recovery.

  • Recovery skills to strengthen healthy ways of managing stress, emotions, relationships, and daily responsibilities.

  • Medication management under the direction of a medical provider when prescribed.

  • 12-step recovery that encourages connection, accountability, and continued participation in recovery after treatment.

  • Co-occurring mental health concerns addressed through individualized therapy exploring how anxiety, depression, trauma, and other emotional concerns relate to substance use, with psychiatric evaluation and medication management coordinated when needed.

  • Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) evaluation for every client with opiate or opioid addiction, including heroin and fentanyl. Medical providers determine appropriate medication treatment, and our team coordinates continued care after discharge.

  • Case management and care coordination to address needs that may affect continued recovery.

  • Family or support-system involvement when appropriate and authorized by the client.

  • Discharge and continuing-care planning with referrals and coordination for the appropriate next level of care.

WHO RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT IS FOR

Residential treatment may be appropriate for individuals who need more structure and support than can be provided in an outpatient setting, or who would benefit from stepping away from the environments, routines, and stressors associated with substance use.

Residential care may be a good fit for individuals who:

  • Have completed detox and need continued treatment before returning home

  • Have experienced repeated relapse or difficulty maintaining recovery

  • Need a structured, substance-free environment

  • Would benefit from daily therapeutic support, group therapy, and accountability

  • Have co-occurring emotional or behavioral-health concerns that can be appropriately supported within the program

  • Need help developing coping skills, relapse-prevention strategies, and a continuing-care plan

  • Need additional time to stabilize routines, relationships, and recovery goals before transitioning to a lower level of care

Admission to residential treatment is based on an individualized assessment of each client’s needs, clinical presentation, support system, and appropriate level of care.

Our Treatment Approach

Admission & Assessment

Every client begins with a comprehensive assessment designed to identify individual needs, strengths, goals, and appropriate areas of focus for treatment. The admission process may include:

  • Medical and psychiatric screening

  • Substance-use and psychosocial history

  • Assessment of co-occurring mental health concerns and how they relate to substance use and treatment needs

  • Strengths-based goal setting based on each client’s needs, preferences, priorities, and recovery goals

Individual & Group Therapy

Our clinical approach combines individualized addiction therapy, a 12-step focus, and care for co-occurring mental health concerns. Treatment may include:

  • Trauma-informed individual therapy

  • Group therapy and psychoeducation

  • Family education, support, and therapy when clinically appropriate

  • Relapse prevention to identify triggers and develop strategies for maintaining recovery

  • 12-step facilitation and peer recovery support

Experiential & Wellness Activities

Recovery can also involve opportunities for creativity, movement, reflection, and connection. Depending on individual needs and interests, programming may include:

  • Art- and music-based therapeutic activities

  • Yoga, mindfulness, and meditation

  • Outdoor fitness and recovery-focused recreation

  • Local AA/NA meeting participation to help clients begin building a sober support network

Continuing Care

Recovery continues beyond residential treatment. From the beginning of care, we work with each client to develop an individualized continuing-care plan based on their needs, progress, support system, and recovery goals.

Recommendations and referrals may include:

  • Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

  • Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

  • Outpatient individual or group therapy

  • Sober living referrals

  • Continued medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and coordination with medical providers for clients continuing medication treatment after discharge

  • Community and peer recovery support

  • Vocational, legal, housing, or other supportive-service referrals when needed

Our goal is to help each client leave residential treatment with a clear, coordinated plan for continued care and recovery.

Program Objectives

Our mission is to help clients:

  • Continue stabilization following detox and address post-acute withdrawal symptoms and co-occurring mental health concerns within the scope of residential care

  • Strengthen recovery from substance use through individualized, evidence-based treatment

  • Identify and address barriers to recovery, including vocational, legal, medical, housing, and other practical needs through appropriate coordination and referrals

  • Develop healthy coping strategies for managing stress, emotions, triggers, relationships, and high-risk situations

  • Build greater self-awareness, confidence, and accountability to support lasting change

  • Prepare for the next level of care with a coordinated continuing-care plan that connects clients with continued treatment, medication care when appropriate, and community recovery resources
