80 days sober today! 🎉 I have been at Breathe since May 5th, 2025 and this has been a life changing experience. I will grieve this experience when I leave at the of this month. I discharge on the 25th and I feel I’ve been equipped with all the tools needed to stay sober. The staff are empathetic, compassionate and well educated on addiction recovery. I’m going to cherish all the memories I have at Breathe. I have met some of the most amazing people— friends I will hold dear to my heart for the rest of my life. If you’re struggling with addiction or an eating disorder, come be apart of the Breathe community. It will be tough but so worth it. I’ve unpacked 40 years of trauma here; leaving Breathe with freedom, healing and self compassion. I’m looking forward to a life free of substances and binge eating. Thank you, Breathe for saving my life!
I did not like the way I was treated in this program. Maybe it was because this was before knowledge was up-to-date, but I’ve tried programs since this one and they are much more advanced. This program is absolutely ridiculous. They treated me like I was some sort of specimen to be fixed like I was a child. It’s true that I was only 22 years old but regardless when I left this treatment center, I went straight back to doing the things I was gonna do. They would always tell us that eight out of 10 of us are gonna die and every time one of the alumni died the director would come out and announce it. I really did like the director of the program… I just feel like my hair was not indivisualized enough. I also feel like my feelings towards drugs I was told were invalid, which is not accurate or it’s true. I have done treatment programs since that validated my feelings, and didn’t leave me feeling like this life was some sort of game.

I had a beautiful eye awaken experience at breathe Valerio was a top notch therapist who can read you inside out and give such insightful advice.Blake was amazing as well and last but not least Gracie the Cm was so compassionate and amazing I personally didn’t finish treatment unfortunately but am going to another facility and hopefully can use the amazing tools I was able to get in breathe I am eternally grateful for the sense of community I felt and was touched by the place deeply. I unfortunately lied to myself and didn’t take advantage of them to the full extent that I should have but I am excited on the journey I am going to go on with the skills I learned there Thank you breathe for giving me a beautiful new outlook on life and last but not least thank you to the Amazing nurses Neenah and Lexus you were top notch personable and such beautiful souls. I have not one bad thing to say other than my lack of accountability in my part but something I learned at breathe from another amazing Cm Hassan is things happen for me not to me. Please go here if you need help and take advantage of it to the full degree that I couldn’t

Accepted Insurance
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.

12-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).
Sober Living Homes
Enhanced Sober Living (ESL) bridges the gap between early recovery and the fast-paced life one leads. The facility integrates nine Life Skills Workshops focusing on talents, relationships of all kinds, money, body and more. Clients identify their innate talents, with the help of Strengths Finder 2.0, building on their talents and stepping into more life responsibility.
24-Hour Clinical Care
During the first phase of recovery – detox – it is crucial to have 24-hour clinical care in California. This care provides constant monitoring in order to ensure your safely and comfort as you progress through the withdrawal process for drug or alcohol addiction. Licensed professionals prescribe medications to treat withdrawal symptoms and provide frequent monitoring to ensure your safely as addictive toxins leave your system.
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
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.
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.
