What Residential Treatment Means Here

More Than Getting Sober. Rebuilding Your Life.

Outpatient programs ask you to heal while still navigating the same environment that contributed to your addiction. Residential treatment removes that barrier entirely — giving you a private, structured, clinically supported setting where recovery is the only agenda.

Residential treatment at The Retreat means living on-site, in a private room, with 24/7 clinical care, daily therapy, and every detail handled — meals, programming, medical oversight — so you can focus entirely on healing.

With over three decades of combined clinical experience, our team knows what it takes to guide long-term recovery. Every treatment plan is written specifically for you — not recycled from a standard curriculum.

What Your Treatment Includes

A Program Built Around Every Part of You.

Addiction doesn't have a single cause, and recovery isn't a single step. Our residential program works across every dimension — clinical, psychological, physical, and personal — from the day you arrive.

Therapy That Actually Addresses the Root

Our residential program includes CBT, DBT, EMDR, individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy — all delivered by licensed clinicians on site. These aren't optional add-ons; they're the daily structure of your recovery. Evidence-based means your care is grounded in what actually works, not what sounds good in a brochure.

Psychiatric & Addiction Medicine — On Site

The Clinical Standard Most Programs Can't Match

Most residential programs don't have a physician on site — let alone one double board-certified in both Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine. Dr. Eric Chaghouri leads The Retreat's medical program, personally overseeing every client's care from day one of their stay.

We approach co-occurring conditions aggressively — depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder need to be addressed, not parked until after treatment. Here, every client receives psychiatric care with at least weekly psychiatric visits, which goes above and beyond the standard of care.

— Dr. Eric Chaghouri, MD

Dr. Chaghouri trained at LAC+USC Medical Center — one of the nation's busiest public hospitals — where he was Chief Resident of Psychiatric Emergency Services. He founded The Recovery Doctor, a national organization providing medical leadership to behavioral health programs across the country. At The Retreat, his oversight is direct, daily, and personal.

In a large program, clients can get lost. Here, the entire staff knows your name. The medical oversight isn't just closer — it's more tailored.

Christian B.Verified Client Review

This place was amazing. Very caring and attentive. They were understanding to my situation and accommodated my needs. They have also been very kind to follow up personally in my recovery progress. Everyone is hands on from the techs to the owner. There's only a handful of guests at a time so there's personal care in an intimate setting.

Common Questions

Answers Before You Call

Choosing a residential program is a significant decision. Here are the questions most people ask about residential treatment at The Retreat.

Call Us Now

Residential treatment length varies by individual. Most clients stay 30 to 90 days, though some benefit from longer stays depending on their substance history, mental health needs, and treatment progress. At The Retreat, there's no rigid timeline — your discharge plan is built around what actually gives you the best chance at lasting recovery, not a calendar date.

Days are structured but not rigid. You'll have individual therapy sessions, group therapy, psychiatric visits, and holistic programming — yoga, breathwork, fitness, and pool time — woven through the week. Chef-prepared meals, morning and evening routines, and clinical check-ins create a daily rhythm that supports healing without feeling institutional.

Yes. The Retreat has a flexible technology policy that supports work, family, and personal responsibilities during treatment. We understand that many of our clients are professionals whose lives don't fully stop. Your clinical team will work with you to find a balance that supports recovery without creating unnecessary isolation from your responsibilities.

We accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Anthem, BCBS, Cigna, and Beacon. Many clients pay little to nothing out of pocket. We verify your benefits within minutes — free, confidential, no commitment required. Call us and we'll give you a clear, honest picture of what's covered before you make any decision.

No. Your treatment is fully protected by federal HIPAA law. We will never share information about your stay with your employer, family members, or anyone else without your explicit written consent. Many of our clients are executives and professionals who require absolute discretion — privacy is a core commitment here, not an afterthought.

Three things most programs can't match: a double board-certified physician in Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine on site, only an intimate program with genuinely individualized care, and psychiatric treatment built into the program itself — not referred out after discharge. Most residential programs are clinical facilities that happen to be nice. The Retreat is something different — intimate, private, medically sophisticated, and designed to feel like a place you can actually heal.

Same-day admissions are available. Once we've completed a brief clinical assessment and verified your insurance — which can happen in a single phone call — we coordinate everything. Many clients arrive the same day they first call. We never want timing to stand between you and the start of your recovery.
