I transfered here from an excellent program on the east coast. Hate to say it but they need serious help. I left the program because they were unable to confirm my insurance prior to my arrival, actually never did. They had one person on staff at the PHP and IOP program. Good idea giving a bunch of addicts with no structure. Living arrangements are not what they show.

Accepted Insurance

Azure Acres Treatment Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
As the sun rises over the secluded hills of Sebastopol, California, residents of Azure Acres wake up for a new day filled with recovery-based activities that are conducted in an atmosphere of comfort, safety, and serenity. Befitting a program that has served men and women in crisis for more than five decades, treatment at Azure Acres takes place in a historic lodge that was built in 1906. Azure Acres is a truly special place, with a rich history that features more than a half-century of successfully helping men and women overcome the compulsion to abuse alcohol or other drugs. At Azure Acres, treatment is an intensive experience that incorporates the fundamental philosophy of the 12-step recovery model. Individuals who choose to heal with us are encouraged to apply the concepts of surrender, honesty, humility, and acceptance in their efforts to overcome addiction and resume their pursuit of healthy and productive futures. Azure Acres residents are expected to play active roles in their own recovery, and will work in close collaboration with dedicated professionals to identify and address the obstacles that have prevented them from achieving to their true potential.
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal. The length of stay at the detoxification program is determined according to the specific needs of the patient.

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT) is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy meant to be short-term and comprehensive. It was intended to help clients become more self-sufficent and move forward without the need for expensive, ongoing therapy. It includes an emotional self-help method called “rational self-counseling,” the purpose of which is to give clients all the skills needed to handle future emotional issues by themselves, or with significantly less professional help.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

We got my girlfriend here after an alcohol relapse due to the root cause of deep trauma based psychological and emotional problems. Azure Acres has a decent staff in terms of nurses and those who interact directly with patients, with some being shallow and clearly overworked and others being kind and forthcoming despite the conditions there. This facility is primarily for drug addiction recovery and despite claiming to be genuinely suited to deal with mental health issues also, they are at the base level of care when it comes to this crucial part of the dynamic.The main reasons for my two star review are that the buildings where patients stay are 60, 80 even 100 years old, and that there are deceptive people at the very least in charge of the facility, and perhaps some that are lying who work the phones. The buildings have a visible mold presence in some rooms, which means that the entirety of the building is substantially contaminated, and if you have an allergy or aversion to something like mold, you will go through hell here on both a physical and probably mental level as well. Patients there complained that they also felt side effects despite not having a known allergy. They have a newer building that is far less likely to have this kind of issue, but this is where the deception comes in. We were GUARANTEED that my girlfriend would have a room there in the new building for her because we made it abundantly clear that she has this mold allergy. And as it turns out, as told to us by one of the kinder nurses, they have had consistent difficulties with insurance companies covering residential stays in that new building. This was obviously known by at very least the higher ups in the company, and perhaps also by other employees that made such promises, considering this simple nurse knew what was going on. This is evidence that you will be LIED to about something in order to get you or your loved one to be admitted, and that is NEVER okay, especially when physical/mental health and finances are at stake. The positives of the facility which include a fairly strong community of a small number of patients, an overall adequate day to day staff and a beautiful outdoor environment, is overshadowed by what i have described here as well as very limited food options for those with allergies and aversions, difficulties with being able to acquire/take certain supplements and other helpful products and a clear lack of funding and staff. It is not the absolute worst place by any stretch to send yourself or someone you love that needs immediate addiction treatment m and recovery, but there are places that are far better even just for this purpose, and especially if you seek to treat the underlying root mental/emotional causes of addiction. The clear deception at some level and the condition of the buildings/staff situation completely negates most of the positives. Sad.She was there for 10 days, we tried to get her out sooner but complications arose and she really suffered pretty major physical and mental consequences as a result of being in these buildings for that long. So again I warn you about this especially if you have a history of bad experiences with mold or older buildings, and i also warn that there will be lies told/false promises given at some level.

I'm Kurt Duncan from paradise, ca and thanks to Azure acres I'm a recovering addict. Today i have 31 days clean. Might not seem like alot of time, but if you ever tried to get clean. You'll know that it is! It's a miracle! Calling Azure Acres was one of the hardest, and best thing I've ever done in my life. As soon as they picked up the phone ( second ring) I felt a weight lift off my chest. I knew from that moment, i wasn't alone anymore. When I showed up, I was greeted with open arms, like family. Everyone everyday was so nice, and happy. It made my stay there easier, and everyday got better and better. The clients were all happy, with a glow about them I can't explain, magical. I'd like to mention everyone by name but there's way to many. But Brad your the bomb! We clicked the moment we met, and that was Hugh for me. And a special thanks to Cassy. Without her and her counseling I would still be lost, she knows what she is doing. The whole staff is very skilled and professional. Thr house's are very clean, and I can't say enough about the food. The cook can cook! And also cares about us addicts. I would recommend Azure Acres above any other treatment center. Definitely a 5 star+ outfit. Thank you Azure Acres for being a big part of my recovery. TO THE HOUSE! TO THE STAFF! TO RECOVERY!

My husband over dose inside the facility. On top of that no information was provided. He was doing great. He took an interest in church. Medication for mood swings. My children was excited about the path there dads had choose to became a better father and husband. You was lucky if you got dropped off at Safeway etc. Cause my husband blood is on there hands this place should be investigated and shut down!! Don t send you re family here!!! Rich white town everybody in on it. Black man didn t have a chance. The lied about trying to contact me and threw my husband phone and other belonging away.It will do me no good to report this to the owner and staff because they are aware and in on it too if they taking people phones dropping them off in the middle of know where and not notifying the family. And when u call they never answer or when they do they give you the run arounds with no answers.

Azure Acres supported me, showed me such a high degree of compassion and respect. The Intake Coordinator, Angie Christensen, made the intake process so comfortable and easy and I was picked up on my door step by Azure transportation and in their program the very next day.Upon arrival I felt the genuine care that sincerely touched my heart. I was very well care for medically and with a human touch through the dreaded detox process. The over-all recovery program is top notch. They helped me discover WHY I relapsed and helped me re-sharpen my tools so I can recognize before it happens, and fully equipped to conquer it beforehand so it never happens again.All the BHA staff were great. The case managers, counselors, group facilitators, and therapist were all awesome people and great at what they do.Brad and Tiffany are GREAT! I witnessed Brad and Tiffany, on more than one occasion, driven by genuine care and concern, go way above and beyond to GET IT DONE!I was so impressed and heartfelt by the people, program and mission of the Azure Family that when I regain the require amount of sobriety, I plan on sending them my resume. You hold a place in my heart. To the house, to the staff THANK YOU!!!

In a time of immeasurable stress, confusion, uncertainty and heightened emotions; Azure Acres was there to accept a loved one into their facility the very next day.Monica greeted us upon our arrival and reassured us with kindness, grace and a beautiful smile. I made several calls in to her to check on the patient and she always was upfront and honest. Detox is not always pretty, but she highlighted the positive aspects and reassured me that things were progressing normally.Throughout the last several weeks, they've truly saved our loved ones life and given him a second chance. I have complete faith, trust and confidence in what their program offers. They've answered my questions every step of the way, even if I've asked them twice because I just needed reassurance.Brad is experienced, knowledgeable and has unwavering eternal optimism for his patients and their road to recovery. He knows how to jump through the dreaded insurance "rings of fire." I feel he was honest with every question I asked. He has his patient's best interests at heart.The work that you do is so important for all of society. These are human beings that lost their way for one reason or another. You've provided a safe, stable, medically overseen and structured environment for patients to get back on their feet.Truly amazing and I'm forever grateful and indebted to your entire team.Thank you so much!
