As the oldest addiction treatment center in the western United States, we have learned a great deal about what works best to achieve recovery. Our approach to building a foundation for a lasting recovery encompasses:

Using treatment time thoughtfully. We know that treatment time in residency is precious. The Beacon House has made a significant investment in diagnostic capabilities to identify the most important issues that will stand in the way of your long-term recovery. These measures allow us to help you focus on your key issues for the rest of your stay.

Providing extraordinary staff support. Our highly skilled, experienced and credentialed team operates at a staff-to-client ratio of almost 2 to 1 - one of the highest-rated staff-to-patient ratios in the country.

Creating unique treatment programs. A creative approach to recovery allows us to utilize a variety of methods to achieve results.

Focusing on the causes of addiction. Healing the underlying causes is more important that merely relieving the addiction itself.

Recognizing individual needs. Each of us is different - a customized program is designed to ensure the best recovery result for your unique situation.

Providing insight through "real life" exercises. Learning to cope with life beyond addiction is a cornerstone of recovery. Located in the heart of the Monterey Peninsula, we have access to world-class golf, our private horse stables in Carmel and endless outdoor recreational pastimes. We utilize these resources to reintroduce you to real life without drugs and alcohol and learn how to live outside the treatment center.

Engaging your support community. Another cornerstone to recovery is the involvement of family and loved ones. At the Beacon House your program will encourage your "community" to become a part of your recovery.

Supporting your success beyond the Beacon House. We believe the work done after treatment is as important as the work done in treatment. The Beacon House remains actively committed to your life-long recovery. To ensure recovery commitments are met for all of our alumni, we offer to stay in constant touch though the Beacon House OneRecovery™ System.
