The Camp offers a full continuum of care to help adults 18 and older develop the recovery skills needed to break the cycle of addiction. Their team of specialists creates individualized plans for detoxification, residential care, day treatment, or intensive outpatient treatment (IOP). Guided by the philosophy that “recovery means life,” they help clients not only regain control but also find joy and purpose in sober living. Through holistic care, family involvement, co-occurring mental health treatment, and ongoing support, The Camp fosters lasting change that extends far beyond treatment.

Combine Therapies in a Personalized Plan

The Camp’s programming begins with a thorough drug and alcohol assessment to tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs. Their approach blends the 12-Step philosophy with evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), individual and group counseling, and chemical dependency education. Clients also engage in sober recreational activities and relapse prevention planning, ensuring they build the skills and support needed for lasting recovery.

Immerse in a Structured Daily Routine

Each day at The Camp is highly structured, combining therapy, education, and peer support in a dynamic recovery environment. Clients participate in small-group discussions, process groups, and relapse prevention planning while exploring personal challenges and developing healthier coping strategies. With opportunities for self-reflection, connection, and skill-building, clients gain the confidence and support needed to sustain long-term sobriety.

Enjoy Nature as a Backdrop for a New Beginning

The Camp is a place where people can get away from their busy lives and focus on the work of recovery, knowing that their privacy is well-protected. Nestled on 25 acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains, clients live in cabins with porches overlooking redwood groves. The center features a swimming pool, hiking trails, and basketball and tennis courts. Located close to the Pacific Ocean, Santa Cruz, Monterey Bay, and Big Sur, The Camp uses its stunning surroundings to introduce clients to outdoor activities and sober recreation in the local area.

Testimonial
I had been in rehab before, but I never experienced treatment like how The Camp does treatment. Their programs are amazing and so many people changed their lives while I was in treatment there. It felt so good to be a part of a community of recovery. I'd recommend the Camp to everyone.

Review from Rehabs.com

I hate having to resort to leaving a bad review. I sent my adult daughter here in June. We did not go through insurance because the time it would take to get authorized would limit my daughters acceptance that she needed help. I paid the $33,000 cash from my retirement account ( I would empty that account to keep my daughter off heroin if needed). I was told that there would be no communication with her during the first week of detox. I started getting phone calls from her on day 2 begging me to pick her up and telling me how horrible everybody is treating her. I left many messages with her case manager Kaitlan asking for help on how to respond to her crying and begging me to pick her up. I never received a return call and I just kept saying no that you need to detox and learn ways to resist the urge to use again. 7 days in I received a call from one of her counselors at around 9 PM telling me I should pick her up in the morning because she is refusing to stay. I asked about all the money I spent and was told that I would be reimbursed for days not used. I quickly found another rehab place to take my daughter and this time wrote a check for $15,000 and she entered but called often begging me to pick her up from there to. I was able to speak with the director and she said she would try to work with my daughter to convince her for the need to stay. She just returned home finishing her 30 days and we are working to get her in an out patient continuation program. It has been over 30 days and have yet to receive any refund nor return call. I have left numerous messages with Kelly in accounting and she will not return my calls to let me know when or even if it will get a refund. I will not stop calling until I get a return call. I cannot say if this place is good or not but I do know they do NOT respond to family members. I checked with the intake and confirmed that I WAS on her in her list of people who the camp could communicate with about her progress. I will update later about any communication and or refund from this place
