About this facility
The Camp offers a full continuum of care to help adults 18 and older develop the recovery skills needed to break the cycle of addiction. Their team of specialists creates individualized plans for detoxification, residential care, day treatment, or intensive outpatient treatment (IOP). Guided by the philosophy that “recovery means life,” they help clients not only regain control but also find joy and purpose in sober living. Through holistic care, family involvement, co-occurring mental health treatment, and ongoing support, The Camp fosters lasting change that extends far beyond treatment.
The Camp’s programming begins with a thorough drug and alcohol assessment to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs. Their approach blends the 12-Step philosophy with evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), individual and group counseling, and chemical dependency education. Clients also engage in sober recreational activities and relapse prevention planning, ensuring they build the skills and support needed for lasting recovery.
Each day at The Camp is highly structured, combining therapy, education, and peer support in a dynamic recovery environment. Clients participate in small-group discussions, process groups, and relapse prevention planning while exploring personal challenges and developing healthier coping strategies. With opportunities for self-reflection, connection, and skill-building, clients gain the confidence and support needed to sustain long-term sobriety.
The Camp is a place where people can get away from their busy lives and focus on the work of recovery, knowing that their privacy is well-protected. Nestled on 25 acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains, clients live in cabins with porches overlooking redwood groves. The center features a swimming pool, hiking trails, and basketball and tennis courts. Located close to the Pacific Ocean, Santa Cruz, Monterey Bay, and Big Sur, The Camp uses its stunning surroundings to introduce clients to outdoor activities and sober recreation in the local area.
