FAQs

California Behavioral Health empowers people to break addictive patterns and begin finding joy in a more stable, fulfilling life of recovery. They treat substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions through residential treatment, a partial hospitalization program (PHP), and an intensive outpatient program (IOP) in Cathedral City near Palm Springs, pairing structured care with private rooms, chef-prepared meals, and a calm desert setting.

Develop New Patterns for Recovery

California Behavioral Health uses a behavioral health model designed to help clients understand what drives substance use, respond to stress with more awareness, and build routines that hold up outside treatment. Their program blends motivational interviewing (MI), medication-assisted treatment (MAT), group therapy, and experiential activities like yoga, hiking, and equine therapy to help clients manage triggers, improve communication, and practice new ways of living day to day.

Recharge in Comfort and Privacy

Clients stay in bright, private rooms with en-suite bathrooms, share chef-prepared meals, and spend time in shaded outdoor dining and lounge areas that open onto the pool. Between sessions, they can swim, exercise, or relax under palms with mountain views. Inviting spaces throughout the property give clients room to settle in, recharge, and reflect during quieter parts of the day.

Carry Treatment into Daily Life

California Behavioral Health extends treatment beyond residential care with step-down options that help people stay connected to recovery as daily responsibilities return. Whether continuing in a partial hospitalization program (PHP) or intensive outpatient program (IOP), clients can keep practicing coping skills, stay connected to clinical care, and apply what they learn to work, relationships, and life outside treatment.

Testimonial
I came to California Behavioral Health when I was finally at the point where I thought life was no longer worth living. Once I got to CBH my whole life changed as I have never met more caring people in my whole life.

Review Real 1-Year Outcomes
Review Real 1-Year Outcomes
California Behavioral Health recently published a third-party outcomes study that followed alumni for 1 year after discharge. Their results show 44% abstinence, 81% reporting good or excellent mental health, 93% stable housing, and a 53% reduction in emergency room visits, giving a clearer sense of how clients are doing after treatment ends.
Address Trauma Alongside Addiction
Address Trauma Alongside Addiction
California Behavioral Health treats substance use and trauma at the same time, which matters for people whose symptoms can intensify one another. Their programs include eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and family therapy, offering targeted ways to work through trauma, emotional reactivity, and relationship strain during treatment.
Balance Treatment with Work Responsibilities
Balance Treatment with Work Responsibilities
California Behavioral Health offers privacy and personal space for working professionals balancing treatment with work responsibilities. Individual suites, a lower-distraction setting, and flexible technology policies help clients stay connected while focusing on residential care, giving them more room to protect their privacy and manage select responsibilities during treatment.
Choose a Non-12-Step Path
Choose a Non-12-Step Path
California Behavioral Health takes a non-12-Step approach for patients who want treatment built around clinical care, self-understanding, and practical change. Instead of asking everyone to follow the same framework, their model focuses on identifying addictive patterns, strengthening coping skills, and building routines that feel practical, flexible, and easier to maintain.
