About New Leaf Detox and Treatment
New Leaf Detox & Treatment distinguishes itself with a highly individualized approach to addiction treatment. Situated in the recovery-rich environment of Southern California, the center provides the necessary care for the initial stages of recovery–detox and residential treatment. Specializing in a wide range of substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, New Leaf focuses on helping clients achieve sustainable, lifelong recovery through genuine self-transformation.
New Leaf Detox & Treatment provides comprehensive detox and residential care in peaceful surroundings 10 minutes north of beautiful Dana Point. Their detox program gives clients a safe and medically supervised environment in which to manage withdrawal symptoms with 24/7 support. Clients can choose to use medication-assisted treatment (MAT) during detox to make the process more comfortable and help with cravings. Following detox, clients transition seamlessly into residential treatment, where they experience a structured, immersive program in comfortable facilities.
New Leaf is committed to providing highly tailored treatment for each individual. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all model, the clinical team collaborates with clients to develop personalized interventions, regularly tracking progress and adjusting treatment plans to meet each person's unique needs and goals. The center also offers a flexible tech policy, allowing clients controlled access to cell phones after 14 days with clinical approval, helping them stay connected while maintaining focus on recovery. Additionally, New Leaf’s pet-friendly environment allows clients to bring their animal companions, easing a common obstacle to entering treatment.
New Leaf Detox & Treatment integrates holistic care with psychotherapy to treat addiction and co-occurring disorders. Their programs combine traditional methods like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and medication management with holistic practices like yoga, meditation, and physical exercise. By using a well-rounded approach, New Leaf addresses the physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of addiction, creating a deep mind-body recovery experience.
