Drug Addiction & Alcohol Abuse Program
What is it that Ocean Hills Recovery offers that sets us apart from all the other treatment programs out there? We understand that each alcoholic/addict is a unique individual, with a unique history that led to their addiction. Each one is also unique in how he or she responds to the process of treatment. Knowing these things, we've created a program that can be adapted to each individual's needs. And while we're serious about helping our clients become clean and sober, we don't believe that rehab should feel like a prison sentence. If the objective of recovery is to learn how to be "happy, joyous and free," then the process of accomplishing this objective should be fun, as well.
Some treatment programs operate on the premise that the client's "self will" must be broken before he or she is prepared to understand and accept recovery. In contrast, we feel that our clients have already been "broken," in a sense, as a result of their drinking or drug use. Our objective is to help our clients rebuild their self-esteem and self-worth. We don't believe people learn by being bullied; learning is most effective when the process is enjoyable. That's why so much of our program focuses on re-connecting to the feelings of joy and happiness that get short-circuited by addiction.
The real effectiveness of any rehab program is based on how the client reacts and responds to the tools that are made available during treatment. Because our program focuses on finding the joy in recovery, our clients generally respond very well. We measure the results of recovery by how effectively each individual client is able to:
- return to functioning in his or her daily life
- get (and keep) a satisfying job
- create meaningful relationships with supportive family and friends
- maintain physical, emotional and spiritual health
- deal with stressful situations
- avoid relapse
At Ocean Hills Recovery, our clients receive all the tools they need to successfully accomplish these objectives, and go on to live lives filled with meaning and purpose, and recapture the simple joy of living.
"Our 31 year old son has struggled with addictions for more than half of his life. He participated in numerous residential and outpatient programs. These programs taught Craig how to abstain, but just like a crash diet the effects didn’t last much beyond completion of the program. At Ocean Hills Recovery the clients learn how to live a sober life. They learn that they can go to ball games, to bonfires on the beach, to restaurants, to play softball and many other activities without using drugs and alcohol. In other words they learn to live a sober lifestyle. In addition, the warm supportive family environment provides comfort to all of the clients, especially those like our son who is working on recovery more than 3,000 miles from home. We are very grateful for all that Ocean Hills Recovery has done for our son."

My experience at Ocean Hills Recovery without a doubt saved my life. When I arrived, I had no hope. I had been using drugs and alcohol continuously and could not stop. I was convinced that I could not live without drugs and alcohol, but I also knew this was not the person I was raised to be. The staff at Ocean Hills Recovery believes in helping addicts and alcoholics in a loving, family-oriented environment. The care and guidance they provided me with has allowed me to learn how to live my life free from dependence on drugs and alcohol. Because of the nine months I spent at Ocean Hills Recovery, I am the person I want to be today. Moving forward through my life, I will utilize the tools and principles that I learned at Ocean Hills Recovery on a daily basis in order to maintain my sober lifestyle. Today, I am full of hope.
