The Retreat Difference
Whole Body Healing
Clinically Grounded Care — Practiced Every Day, Not Just Promised
At The Retreat South Coast, clinical care isn’t something that happens in isolation — it’s woven into how each day is structured. Our program is built around medically supervised detox, evidence-based therapy, and intentional daily routines that support both physical and emotional healing.
Detox is overseen by trained medical professionals ensuring safety during withdrawal while allowing clients to feel supported, not institutionalized. From there, treatment continues in a residential setting designed to help clients stabilize, engage, and rebuild.
But whole-body healing goes beyond clinical protocols. Clients are nourished with chef-prepared meals, supported through structured movement and fitness at ReNu Fit, and encouraged to reconnect with their bodies through wellness practices that complement therapy — not replace it. These elements aren’t “add-ons”; they’re part of how recovery is lived day to day here.
Research from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that medically supervised detox followed by ongoing treatment significantly improves recovery outcomes. We follow these principles closely — and then bring them to life through hands-on care, consistency, and follow-through.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), medically supervised detox combined with ongoing treatment significantly improves recovery outcomes. We align our programs with these principles to ensure ethical, safe, and clinically sound care.
Integrated Detox and Residential Treatment
Unlike programs that separate detox from treatment, The Retreat South Coast offers medical detox within a residential rehab setting, allowing clients to remain in one environment throughout early recovery.
This integrated approach improves continuity of care, reduces disruption, and supports a smoother transition from detox into residential treatment—where clients can focus fully on recovery without interruption.
Whole-Person Recovery with Wellness Support
Recovery involves more than clinical therapy alone. Our wellness-centered residential rehab integrates fitness, movement, and restorative practices into treatment to support physical health, stress regulation, and emotional balance.
Through ReNu Fit and wellness-focused programming, clients build strength, establish healthy routines, and develop tools that support long-term recovery alongside medical detox and residential care.

Who Our Programs Are Designed For
The Retreat South Coast is designed for individuals who need medical detox and residential addiction treatment in a setting that prioritizes safety, structure, and whole-person healing.
Our programs are a fit for people who are struggling to stop using drugs or alcohol on their own, who may be experiencing withdrawal symptoms, or who need medical supervision to detox safely. Many of the individuals we treat also face anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health challenges that require integrated care during detox and residential treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who needs medical detox?
Medical detox is recommended for individuals who may experience withdrawal symptoms when stopping drugs or alcohol. This includes alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, and other substances that can cause physical or psychological withdrawal. Medical supervision helps manage symptoms safely and reduces medical risk during the detox process.
What’s the difference between detox and residential rehab?
Detox focuses on helping the body safely withdraw from drugs or alcohol under medical supervision. Residential rehab begins after detox and focuses on therapy, mental health support, routine, and recovery skills. At The Retreat South Coast, detox and residential treatment happen in the same setting, allowing for a smooth transition without disruption.
How long does medical detox take?
Detox length varies depending on the substance used, frequency, and individual health factors. For many clients, detox lasts several days to a week. Our medical team evaluates each client individually and adjusts care as needed to ensure safety and comfort.
Can I go straight from detox into residential treatment?
Yes. One of the benefits of our program is that clients can move directly from medical detox into residential treatment without changing locations. This continuity of care supports stabilization and helps clients stay engaged in treatment during a critical transition period.
Do you treat mental health conditions along with addiction?
Yes. We provide integrated dual diagnosis treatment, meaning we address both substance use and mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders, and mood disorders. Treating both together improves long-term recovery outcomes.
Is residential rehab right for me if I’ve tried treatment before?
Many clients come to residential rehab after outpatient treatment or previous rehab attempts didn’t provide enough structure or support. Residential care offers a more immersive environment that can be especially helpful for individuals who have struggled with relapse or need time away from triggers.
What is day-to-day life like during detox and residential treatment?
Daily life includes medical check-ins (during detox), therapy sessions, structured programming, meals, and wellness activities. Clients follow a consistent schedule designed to support stabilization, accountability, and recovery while also allowing time for rest and reflection.
Do you provide meals during treatment?
Yes. Clients receive chef-prepared meals designed to support physical recovery and overall wellness during detox and residential treatment. Nutrition is an important part of healing and is integrated into the treatment experience.
What role does fitness and wellness play in treatment?
Wellness is integrated alongside clinical care. Through ReNu Fit, movement, and restorative practices, clients build strength, reduce stress, and establish healthier routines that support recovery during and after treatment.
Do you accept clients from outside Southern California?
Yes. We work with both local and out-of-state clients. Our admissions team helps coordinate logistics, answer questions, and support a smooth transition into detox and residential treatment.
