About Sierra Recovery

Sierra Recovery addresses alcohol and drug addiction through a structured, multi-step process. Initially, clients undergo a medically supervised detox at a nearby hospital, which is then followed by a residential program where experienced therapists help individuals explore the underlying causes of their substance use. The center, accommodating just 22 guests, recommends a minimum stay of 14 days, although an extended duration often proves beneficial.

At Sierra Recovery, clients engage in a nurturing environment that emphasizes personal growth—this thoughtfully designed program prioritizes restoring meaning, fostering connections, and finding purpose beyond addiction. It combines evidence-based treatment methods with holistic body-mind practices, allowing clients to confront both the narrative of their addiction and the underlying sensations that perpetuate it. With a dedicated, English-speaking team, many of whom have expertise in trauma and addiction, clients receive tailored care and attention required for meaningful transformation.

Nestled in a tranquil area of Malaga, the center provides a serene and private atmosphere that facilitates healing, all while surrounded by stunning mountain vistas. Each client enjoys spacious, well-appointed single rooms to ensure comfort and solitude for self-reflection. The center features a rustic yet luxurious ranch-style ambiance, complemented by amenities designed to promote well-being, including inviting swimming pools, tennis and basketball courts, and scenic trails that lead into the picturesque mountains.

The journey of healing extends beyond the time spent at Malaga Hills, marking the start of ongoing support and connection. After completing their treatment, clients are encouraged to continue their personal development through weekly aftercare sessions, virtual or in-person group meetings, family support sessions, and the opportunity for one-on-one counseling. For those readjusting to life at home, Sierra facilitates smooth transitions, ensuring clients have guidance and support every step of the way.
