Addiction & Rehab
Many rehabs in California—whether in SoCal’s sunny Los Angeles or Orange County, or NorCal’s vibrant Bay Area– offer some of the best healing environments for those recovering from drug and alcohol abuse and other mental health conditions. Chances are, you’ll find yourself in a surf therapy session at the beach.
Long after the gold rush, California continues to draw people from all over the world to its beautifully warm sunshine and abundant opportunity. The Golden State is the most populated and diverse state in America, and it’s the third largest state by land mass. California is well-known for its agriculture, breathtakingly scenic landscapes and recreational activities.
Many California rehabs are located on the beach or within easy reach of the Pacific coast, allowing them to offer sports like surfing as a unique experiential therapy. Rehabs in California are also known to provide a wider array of holistic therapies, such as Reiki, sound therapy, and acupuncture.
An emphasis on holistic and non-12-Step therapies tends to be more widely used in California. The state has been the hub for holistic treatment for decades, and it’s common for rehabs to offer a larger variety of alternative treatment modalities.
