About Oro House Recovery
Oro House Recovery treats drug and alcohol addiction through detox, residential, and outpatient care, all grounded in their Compassionate Care Model®—a non-12-Step approach built on connection. With sweeping ocean views and one of the highest staff-to-client ratios in the field, they create a restorative environment where treatment is deeply personal and goal-oriented. Consistently ranked among California’s top 3 addiction treatment centers by Newsweek, Oro House empowers each client as the captain of their dedicated team of 5-6 staff members, shaping their own recovery journey and a life beyond addiction.
Experience Non-12-Step, Compassionate Care
Oro House’s Compassionate Care Model® replaces the traditional behavior-modification model with individualized treatment grounded in dignity, authenticity, and respect. Their philosophy centers on “Connection, Not Control,” recognizing that recovery is deeply personal and non-linear. Through evidence-based therapies, holistic practices, and a non-12-step framework, clients are supported as whole people—not diagnoses—guided by their unique stories, strengths, and paths toward sustainable, fulfilling recovery.
Transform with a Personalized Therapeutic Mix
Oro House uses evidence-based modalities in individual and group therapy sessions, and the techniques learned become tools for long-lasting sobriety. Their diverse approaches target core beliefs, emotional regulation, and motivation, while also healing trauma and building resilience. From cognitive therapies and experiential practices to mind-body and neurobiological treatments, each modality is selected to meet clients where they are and support meaningful, lasting change across every layer of recovery.
Savor High-End Living on the Coast
Oro House offers modern, light-filled accommodations with private or shared rooms, each with a semi-private patio and large flat-screen TV. Clients enjoy gourmet chef-prepared meals, unlimited healthy snacks, daily housekeeping, and amenities like a Jacuzzi, pool, and outdoor BBQ area. Access to Southern California’s beaches and lifestyle activities—including surfing, hiking, and gym memberships—create an experience designed for comfort, restoration, and holistic wellbeing.
