About California Wellness Center Inc
California Wellness works with people struggling with addiction as well as co-occurring mental health conditions by using research-supported clinical care alongside wellness-focused activities in a private residential setting. The program is designed to help clients build a solid foundation for long-term recovery and a healthier future. With a team of experienced, caring professionals and a varied set of daily activities, clients stay motivated and actively involved throughout treatment.
California Wellness provides medication-assisted treatment (MAT) during its supervised detox phase. The center emphasizes a warm, home-like atmosphere that feels comfortable and supportive, rather than institutional or hospital-like. Once detox is complete, clients may participate in a 30-day program that includes individual counseling, group therapy, and family participation, along with structured, restorative experiences such as beach trips, kayaking, breathwork, art and music therapy, yoga, meditation, and other options.
Set in Mission Viejo, California, the residential facility offers semi-private bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, chef-prepared meals, a game room, a snack bar, an outdoor fire pit, and weekly outings. California Wellness is accredited by The Joint Commission and accepts most private insurance plans.
