Residential Rehab In Orange County
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.

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.
