About Baja Rehab
Baja Rehab’s conservatorship-based program takes place in a peaceful oceanfront hacienda where long-term recovery is protected and nurtured through dual-diagnosis treatment, medical excellence, and structured behavioral modification. Designed by Americans for Americans, this fully English, lockdown program blends therapy, accountability, and compassion with art, fitness, and community healing—giving families peace of mind and clients the time and structure they need to achieve lasting recovery.
Develop Healthier Rhythms for Life
Clients remain in care long enough to develop real stability, free from impulsive discharges or external chaos. This secure, extended-care model—ranging from 4 to 13 months—allows destructive cycles to be replaced with healthier patterns. Each client receives individualized dual-diagnosis treatment with medical detox, 24/7 nursing, psychiatric support, and evidence-based therapies led by licensed psychologists and counselors within a 12-step–reinforced framework.
Strengthen Recovery with Behavioral Change
Their behavioral modification program is rooted in structured group therapy, where clients are met exactly where they are. Each group targets specific maladaptive behaviors and emotional patterns—encouraging clients to recognize denial, ego, and victimization while cultivating accountability and emotional growth. Through guided self-reflection, clients learn to “look in the mirror,” identify core behavioral triggers, and practice new responses that align with recovery-based living.
Thrive in a Setting that Restores
Located on a tranquil oceanfront property with additional secured housing for higher levels of care, Baja Rehab combines clinical excellence with opportunities for personal and emotional development. The program integrates nourishing meals, art and expressive therapies, fitness, recreation, individual counseling, and family support sessions. Advanced options such as stem cell therapy, WAIS IQ testing, and wellness amenities—including cosmetology, basketball and volleyball courts, and a fully equipped outdoor gym—enhance the client experience.
Transform Accountability into Lasting Freedom
With 24/7 supervision, structured programming, and compassionate leadership, Baja Rehab offers unmatched value compared to U.S. facilities. Recovery here is not only secured—it’s nurtured through accountability, structure, and genuine care. Families and clients trust us because we provide what few programs can: a safe, clinically guided environment where true behavioral change and lasting sobriety take root.
