About Bella Monte Recovery Center
Bella Monte Recovery Center is a sanctuary near Palm Springs where clients begin their journey toward freedom from alcohol, drugs, and co-occurring mental health disorders. Clients may start with a personalized detox program crafted by an addiction specialist before transitioning to residential care. Clients receive round-the-clock support in a structured, compassionate environment free from triggers and distractions. Their comprehensive approach, including individual and group therapy, holistic modalities, and experiential activities, addresses addiction and co-occurring disorders like anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Bella Monte uses evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help clients understand and manage their mental health conditions. These therapies provide practical skills for coping with stress, regulating emotions, and improving relationships. In addition to traditional therapies, they offer holistic treatments such as yoga, meditation, and mindfulness practices to promote overall well-being and help clients develop healthy coping mechanisms.
Going beyond trauma-informed care, Bella Monte provides trauma work to all clients weekly. They help clients safely unfold defenses, discover what is under the surface, and primarily use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to achieve this.
Bella Monte takes a personalized approach to aftercare, ensuring each client’s unique needs and circumstances are addressed. Through comprehensive assessments and collaboration with reputable outpatient facilities, they provide a seamless transition from inpatient to continued care. Their team works closely with clients and outpatient providers to create tailored plans that promote continuity, accountability, and long-term recovery success.
Bella Monte’s beautiful Spanish-style facility in the Coachella Valley offers private or shared accommodations with valley vista views. Each room features a Jacuzzi tub with natural mineral desert spring water, while the property includes a mineral pool, sauna, fire pit, and serene shared spaces designed to promote calm and relaxation. Additional amenities such as a business center, fitness center, library, recreation room, and walking trails ensure clients have a comfortable and supportive environment for their recovery journey.

Bella Monte offers an innovative lifetime mapping tool, developed by their program director, to help clients review their life journey with a counselor. This process uncovers recurring patterns and reveals the single cycle driving their struggles, offering a clear path to breaking it. By simplifying the overwhelming question of “why,” clients gain insight into their journey and find the most direct route to lasting recovery and inner peace.
Bella Monte emphasizes the importance of rebuilding and reunifying families as part of their compassionate approach to treatment. Clients with family support and participation often experience an easier recovery journey and higher success rates. Through their Family Program Weekend, families engage in educational lectures on addiction, family systems, and healthier communication, while also gaining practical tools to navigate recovery together.
Bella Monte nurtures the profound connection between the mind, body, and spirit by incorporating mindfulness and spirituality into their programs. Mindfulness helps clients step back and observe their thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them. Spiritual exploration can help clients find purpose, inner peace, and a sense of connection beyond themselves, which are essential for fostering resilience and lasting transformation.
Bella Monte understands that mental health and substance use disorders are often deeply intertwined, and they address both to reduce the risk of relapse and improve overall well-being. Bella Monte’s integrated approach equips clients with the tools to manage stress, emotions, and triggers in healthy ways so they can maintain sobriety and navigate the challenges of life without resorting to substance use.
