About Costa Rica Treatment Center San Jose
Costa Rica Treatment Center (CRTC) offers comprehensive dual diagnosis care in stunning Costa Rica, featuring a unique 4-phased approach to healing: stabilization and planning, intensive treatment, transferring responsibility, and reintegration. This method guides clients through recovery with hands-on support, even as they help clients take accountability for their progress and apply coping skills to their daily lives.
Structured Programs Focused on Relapse Prevention
CRTC offers 30, 60, 90 and 120-day residential programs including medical detox and structured sober living options in Costa Rica. They also provide an intensive outpatient program (IOP) for Costa Rican residents. Alongside treating various substance addictions, CRTC addresses mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression, offering services in both English and Spanish.
CRTC’s 120-day, 4-phase residential program offers a comprehensive recovery approach. Phase 1 includes medical and psychiatric evaluations, detoxification, and stabilization. Phase 2 addresses underlying issues through various therapies and holistic treatments. In phase 3, clients take more responsibility for their recovery, focusing on reintegration and personal development. The final phase emphasizes reintegration into daily life, with clients designing their recovery plans and establishing healthy routines, supported by ongoing monitoring.
CRTC guarantees that if a relapse occurs within 6 months of discharge, clients receive an additional 30-day stay at no extra cost. Eligible clients must have completed the program and been discharged in good standing.
Holistic Therapy Approach
During recovery, clients work closely with a team of accredited staff, including physicians, psychologists, and recovery specialists. They engage in individual, group, and family therapy. CRTC offers cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT), spiritual counseling, 12-Step meetings, and relapse prevention. CRTC aims to heal the mind, body and spirit, and provides holistic therapies. These include yoga, guided meditation, art therapy, and forest therapy, which involves a slow, gentle walk through the forest and a ceremony with a nature guide.
Safely Heal and Reintegrate into Society
CRTC’s San Jose location provides a more central, urban environment that gives easy access to medical care facilities and other resources. Their strategic location helps individuals engage with the "real world" while in treatment to prepare for successful long-term recovery. This home has shared or private bedrooms, updated furnishings, a yoga and meditation area, and private courtyards. CRTC incorporates excursions such as golfing, swimming, beach trips, hiking, and volcano sightseeing into clients’ treatment schedules.
