My experience with Breathe was amazing and truly life-changing. The therapists are highly educated and helped me explore my issues deeply. Kathleen, the clinical director, is remarkable, and her group sessions are among my favorite memories. The campus is beautiful and serene, and the food was excellent. The alumni program keeps me connected, and I ve made some lifelong friends there. I would absolutely recommend Breathe to anyone whoisstruggling.

Treatments

Alcohol addiction treatment at Breathe Life Healing Centers + Treatment Services is specially designed to create a social and healing environment. By removing alcohol as the center focus of social settings, the facility can help clients to redesign the way they approach interactions with friends and others. Rediscover what really matters when meeting people, and understand the parts of life that alcohol is destroying.

Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.

Breathe Life Healing Centers + Treatment Service’s programs are designed to function as a primary treatment program for those who are suffering from dual diagnosis issues. For most clients, it has been a long time since they have used healthy coping skills to deal with everyday life.

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.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

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

Equine therapy, aka equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions and activities with horses. It does not necessarily involve riding horses, but all activities related to horses, such as feeding, grooming, haltering and leading them. A mental health professional frequently oversees the activities (often in conjunction with a horse professional), and helps patients process their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns during and/or after the interaction.

During group therapy, men and women learn to express their emotions openly in a non judgmental setting. This helps you process your feelings and reduces feelings of social isolation that are often associated with addiction.

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.

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.

Family support services are one of Breathe’s most successful innovations in healing. They offer both a 5-Day Family Workshop and Family Class designed to support families through every step of the recovery process. All families of Breathe clients are encouraged to participate in the 5-Day Intensive Family Workshop.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

I went to treatment three years after my aunt went to treatment there. We both had very good experiences there. The team is incredible and since it was my fifth rehab stay I had some others to compare it to, the clinical experience was extraordinary.

My daughter went to breathe and was there for 3 months Wow what a waste of money. The place had ants and mice and rats. They do not have adequate staff and the place was a mess they have no consistency and the counselor she had was out sick for a entire month and so she went without. She said the food advertised as cooked by a chef was not very good supper was only meal served she had to eat cereal for breakfast and in the afternoon when they went to Clinic luch was served daily with consisted of cold cut salami and bread. To this day my daughter wont eat cold sandwiches bc she had them daily for 3 months. Please if you have a loved one that needs help DONT SEND THEM HERE !!! Its expensive and as my daughter said it feels more like a jail than rehab.

As an interventionist, I have brought several people to Breathe for substance abuse treatment and co-occurring issues. I love this program. I have had great success with the individuals I brought here because of the clinical services provided, the environment, the quality of the treatment team and the fact that it is owned by individuals who are passionate about recovery. I have a bias against chain programs and prefer those that are owned and operated by people who are in this field to help others. That is what Breathe does!!! I have brought LGBTQ clients and straight or sis gender clients and both are welcomed equally and given the same overwhelming amount of love and acceptance. Highly recommended!!!!

This place is unprofessional and dangerous. They literally do not provide anything like what is listed on their website and instead provide a strange, cult like atmosphere. They will bill you for things you won t receive.I have watched them go out of their way to deliberately hurt people in recovery to milk their insurance money. If you don t want to stay for 6+months, they will refuse release of work clearances and medical records.From myself and several people that I am close with, we are very thankful we are strong enough to survive what this place put us through, even though we are sober. They will leave you bone dry in an administrative and insurance mess. Anyone who is in a dark place could be put in genuine danger by this treatment center .
