About California Wellness

California Wellness aims to treat addiction and co-occurring disorders by combining evidence-based treatment with holistic activities in a private, residential environment. The goal of their program is to lay a strong foundation for a successful life in recovery. Their team of highly qualified and compassionate specialists and an alluring schedule of activities help keep clients engaged in the recovery process.
California Wellness offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT) during their supervised detox period. They strive to provide a cozy, home-like setting far removed from a hospital-like setting to maximize comfort. After detox, patients can engage in a 30-day program that includes individual counseling, group therapy, family involvement, and engaging activities like: trips to the beach, kayaking, breathwork, art and music therapy, yoga, meditation, and more.
Their home-like facility is located in Mission Viejo, California. Here, clients can enjoy semi-private bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, chef-prepared meals, a game room, a snack bar, an outdoor fire pit, and weekly outings. California Wellness is accredited by The Joint Commission and accepts most private insurance.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like California Wellness provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Understanding Your Treatment Options

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

California Wellness offers 3 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. California Wellness works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
