This was a phenomenal rehab that really cares about patients, and takes the time to make sure that their needs on the outside are met while in treatment. The six person house makes the treatment so much more personal. Also, the views from the house makes recovery so much easier.+1![]()

Staff is very helpful and its a beautiful location. The weekend outings were fun and memorable. They even took me to get a pedicure! The ocean view makes the stay worthwhile and all the skills that are taught throughout the week I am able to use for my whole life time. Every day we learned something new about ourselves and how to live a healthy lifestyle in sobriety. I am forever grateful for this facility, Laguna beach has my heart!+8![]()

Had an amazing recovery experience at California Detox. All the staff were incredible. Rachel my case manager made everything incredibly easy and really kept me motivated. Jenny and Chris did my intake and made me feel welcome and at home as soon as I met them. Chris is hilarious. Jackson made every outing one to remember and always had a way of connecting the clients. Nicole always had a positive energy that rubbed off on me, and we would bond over music. Thank you Rene for always taking us to AA meetings and the store for a soda or vape! In general I'm so thankful to have come here every single one of the staff mad a huge impact on me whether that be personally or through groups. The facilitators are also incredible, Brian was my personal favorite. The house is in a beautiful location and your daily schedule has the perfect balance, focusing heavily on your personal journey of recovery, but also giving more than enough time to unwind and enjoy your day. Will miss being here and miss every person I got to meet in this small chapter of my life.+4![]()

Truthfully speaking this place saved my life and helped me find myself internally and all of the external things fell into place quickly than I could imagine. Nicole made it a safe warm welcome, along with Rachel's intro. I enjoyed and had fun with the entire staff but most of all the group facilitators were knowledgeable, helpful, insightful, and amazing. I've learned some great coping tools and would recommend this place to anyone who would like to experience true,safe, happy, and caring detox treatment. The staff was overall what helped me surrender from day 1 and wasn't being all institutional guards. Dave Rocks, and Cooper coming every Wednesday was something I would forward to until I decided to change my eating habits. Rachel, Nicole,Renee, Jared,Larson,Chris, Jenny and Jackson were the best. Maggie was very helpful and great with therapy. I've experienced some amazing outings that I wouldn't do normally and will remember this place 4 LIFE!! thank you all for helping me and a memorable 41st.birthday as well!!!+7![]()

I can't recommend California Detox enough! From the moment I arrived, I felt safe, cared for, and supported in every way. The house itself is gorgeous, with amazing views of the Pacific Ocean that really helped me feel calm even on tough days. The rooms were super clean and comfortable--way more like a home than a treatment center. What really stood out, though, was the staff. Rachel, the case manager, is truly incredible. She listened, supported, and guided me through everything with so much care and professionalism. And Renee and Nicole from the support staff were absolutely amazing--they always checked in on me, made sure I felt safe, and treated me like a person, not just a patient. This was a proper medical detox, so I always felt safe physically and emotionally. They had everything we needed and made sure we were comfortable and cared for around the clock. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better detox experience--and I'm proud to say I'm still sober today! Thank you, California Detox, for helping me start my journey in such a supportive, beautiful place.![]()

This facility is beautifully located, professionally run, and it's clear that client care is the most important part of their process. I'm so grateful facilities like this exist who truly care about the people who need them.![]()

As someone who has had the privilege of leading therapy groups at this facility, I can honestly say it's one of the most dedicated and client-centered treatment environments I've ever been part of. The clinical team is made up of some of the most compassionate, skilled, and ethical professionals I've worked with -- people who genuinely care about each client's journey and meet them where they are with respect and empathy. The group sessions here are dynamic, trauma-informed, and tailored to meet the real needs of individuals in early recovery. Whether it's processing work, relapse prevention, or skill-building, we strive to create a safe and empowering space for healing. The clients do courageous work, and it's an honor to walk alongside them in the process. The facility itself is clean, peaceful, and well-run, and I constantly hear positive feedback about the food (which is no small thing when you're working on getting healthy again). Everything from the daily schedule to the clinical programming is designed to support long-term recovery and whole-person wellness. I'm proud to be part of a place that truly makes a difference in people's lives.![]()

California Detox is an amazing place. They took care of me and made me feel safe when I was at my lowest. The staff was wonderful ! I would recommend them to anyone needing help on their way to recovery !!!
The closest rehab to you may not necessarily be the best option for long-term recovery.
By choosing to stay at our residential inpatient facilities just a short drive away from Laguna Niguel, you’re making the conscious decision to prioritize quality over convenience.
Putting distance between yourself and your hometown can:
Increase your chances of recovery by nearly 4x
Get away from harmful people and places that may tempt you to relapse
Strengthen peace of mind in a space where you’re surrounded by true, like-minded community
Most drug and alcohol addiction programs start with a mandatory detox period, which can last from a week to a month in a residential setting. Putting physical distance between you and the emotional and environmental triggers in your hometown can help lower your chances of relapse while strengthening your chances of long-term recovery.
Upon stepping down to a lower level of care, many clients choose to enroll in a nearby sober living house to keep the supportive community they gained before eventually transitioning back to their everyday life. This way, they’re able to stay away from harmful people and triggers of the past that could drive them to relapse.
Our Drug rehab programs at California Detox & our other facilities under District Behavioral Health Group offer a full continuum of care, including medical detox, inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and standard outpatient (OP) services. Whether you’re looking for structured care or flexible support, drug rehab options are designed to meet a range of needs.
