More About Luxury Rehab Centers
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.
What is Luxury Rehab?
A luxury treatment center provides top-notch therapeutic modalities, services, and amenities for addiction and mental health treatment. Luxury facilities often have private rooms, gourmet meals, spa treatments, fitness facilities, and unique recreational activities. The center’s clinical staff will be highly educated and accredited professionals. Clients may receive more individual counseling or holistic healing methods. Luxury centers are typically located in beautiful or unique locations too.
The Benefits of Attending a Luxury Facility
Luxury treatment centers typically focus on total wellness in recovery. Incorporating services such as yoga, acupuncture, spa treatments, and nutritional counseling can help clients feel more relaxed, healthier, and ready to heal. A luxury center might offer fun activities like beach days or hikes, which can help clients apply therapeutic lessons outside of the facility.
Luxury centers typically provide more flexible treatment plans to fit the client’s unique needs. Expert professionals and specialists can build a tailored care plan to bolster effective and long-lasting recovery.
Clients may also have more privacy in a luxury facility. Luxury centers often offer private rooms, more individual than group counseling, and scheduled time to use cell phones and laptops.
What Is the Difference Between a Luxury Center and a Traditional Center?
A luxury treatment center will offer many of the same modalities that a traditional facility would; however, a luxury center will provide more high-end amenities and services. While a traditional center would offer individual counseling once a week, a luxury one might provide 4 individual sessions.
A standard center may have a room with a couple exercise machines and yoga mats, while a luxury facility could have a yoga room, a pool, a spa room, and a fully equipped fitness center. A luxury treatment center might have sweeping views of the ocean, while a traditional one is in the suburbs.
A luxury facility typically costs more than a traditional facility. It may not work with insurance providers, either. Clients pay upfront for excellent clinical treatment and services offered.
What to Look for in a Luxury Center
If you’re looking to attend a luxury addiction and mental health treatment center, consider looking for:
- Qualified and experienced staff (tip: quality treatment facilities usually have a staff page with their clinical team listed)
- Comprehensive treatment plans: The center should have a variety of evidence-based therapies, like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). They should also provide holistic modalities like yoga, acupuncture, Reiki, and Tai Chi.
- Luxurious accommodations: Check out the center’s photo gallery to see what amenities they offer.
- Reviews: You can find reviews on Recovery.com to see what others are saying about this facility.
If a luxury center seems to hit your criteria, call their admissions team and ask questions such as:
- What clinical team members will work with me during the treatment process?
- How do you integrate a holistic approach to treatment?
- Are private rooms available?
- How do you ensure confidentiality during treatment?
- What is the staff-to-client ratio?
- How many hours of individual and group therapy would I receive each week?
- Can I use my phone and laptop?
