Hotel California by the Sea Review
Hotel California by the Sea was founded in Orange County, California in 2013. It started as a men’s transitional care program and has grown quickly to include detox, residential and outpatient treatment, with specialized tracks for women and young adults. Today, the men’s program offers concierge-style treatment, specifically for executives, in luxury accommodations.
Accommodations and Food
Hotel California’s men’s facility is located in Newport Beach and is literally steps from a quiet area of the beach. It has a man-cave feel to it with leather couches and big screen TVs in every room. There are just four private suites with private entrances, a baby grand piano, an elegant sitting room, hardwood floors, marble counter tops and an outside lounge area. Because this program is tailored to the professional man, full access to personal computers, phones and office equipment is offered. The home features WiFi, cable in each room, private and shared balconies and a barbecue.
Clients eat gourmet meals prepared by a private chef who can accommodate preferences and dietary restrictions. The menu is designed by a registered dietitian.
Treatment and Staff
When clients enter the program, an intake counselor designs an individualized treatment plan. A case worker, a psychiatrist and medical staff are available when needed. A stay at Hotel California by the Sea usually lasts 30 to 90 days, depending on the substances the client has used. If clients require detox, the process can take place on-site or on an outpatient basis under the supervision of a team of medical professionals. The facility offers Vivitrol, a highly monitored monthly injection treatment that in some cases can reduce opiate cravings.
Since Hotel California is aware that different methods of treatment work better for some than others, they offer a variety of therapy options including CBT, DBT and the Gestalt method. Clients are evaluated by a psychiatrist who refers those in need of dual diagnosis support to daily therapy that addresses co-occurring disorders and relapse prevention, using CBT. All clients are also encouraged to attend daily AA/NA meetings, which are held on-site. Thursdays and Saturdays, the program hosts meetings in the unique setting of a yacht.
The staff at Hotel California by the Sea includes LMFTs, addiction specialists, nutritionists, equine and art therapists, social workers, CADCs and case managers.
Extras
Equine, art, music and adventure therapy are available. Additional amenities include weekly massage therapy, yoga on the beach, a gym membership within walking distance and weekend excursions such as deep-sea fishing and paddle boarding.
Hotel California by the Sea strongly believes that family participation in the recovery process helps clients heal faster. There are bi-monthly classes and therapy sessions for family members to attend with clients. Additionally, a sober companion is available for those in the program who require a little extra support.
In Summary
With a beautiful beach location and plenty of individual attention, Hotel California by the Sea brings a new meaning to the word “luxury” treatment. Between the living facilities, gourmet meals, beach excursions and meetings on a yacht, this treatment facility is designed to show clients there is more to life than living under the shadow of addiction. At the same time, the program provides each client with the structure they need to heal.
