About Covenant Hills

Covenant Hills is an addiction treatment center for adults in San Juan Capistrano, California. They provide a variety of services to help you break free from the chains of addiction including detox, residential treatment, day treatment and general outpatient care. They offer gender specific programs and their services are rooted in faith-based principles.

Something that stands out to me about this facility is that they provide a complete continuum of care. For example, if you need to detox before you begin the next stage of your recovery journey then they will connect you with an affiliated medical center to perform that step. From there, you’ll begin your treatment.

Most people are in their program for around 60 days. I like that they treat men and women separately so you aren’t distracted during your sessions. You’ll gradually progress from their around the clock inpatient program into their less structured outpatient model. Your treatment plan will cater to your unique needs and may include group or individual counseling, psychoeducation, psychological sessions and spiritual support.

Once you’ve completed their program, they also offer transitional care. During this time, you’ll refine your recovery goals and prepare to live a life of sobriety. They also provide comprehensive aftercare services including regular group meetings. Most clients speak very highly of their time in this program. Several noted that it turned their life around and that the staff members are incredible.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

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.

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.

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. They offer gender specific residential treatment, it usually lasts 30 days.

sober-living iconSober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

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).

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn’t spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community  programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA). Alumni who graduate from their treatment programs are invited to continue their association by attending their Aftercare program meetings. The aftercare program consists of practical instruction, interactive process sessions and group support. Aftercare program includes sessions on relapse prevention skills, anger, anxiety and stress management, family dynamics, and relational skills development. Half-day courses provide a more comprehensive understanding of their diseases and a deeper working relationship to the principles and spirituality found in the 12-Steps.

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

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.

check iconDual Diagnosis

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.

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

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.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

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.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

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.

family iconFamily Therapy

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.

Fitness Therapy

Fitness therapy blends exercise with psychotherapy for a fun, inspiring, and effective way of treating addiction and other issues. By incorporating movement into counseling sessions, clients become more empowered, motivated, and goal-oriented, all while strengthening their bodies and becoming more flexible. Fitness Therapy is usually used to complement a course of treatment (inpatient or outpatient) to make it even more successful. Increasing the connection between a patient’s mind and body helps both with healing as well as in creating new, healthy habits.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

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.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

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.

Nutrition Therapy

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.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

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.

Check icon Accreditations

CARF

The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) is a non-profit organization that specifically accredits rehab organizations. Founded in 1966, CARF's, mission is to help service providers like rehab facilities maintain high standards of care.

Before I came into the doors of covenant hills I was completely reliant on other people to do just about everything that my life required. I was so addicted to Xanax that if I didn t have it I wasn t able to move anywhere without the risk of having a seizure. This was my eye opening revelation. I must not continue to live this way and the desire to change and to do whatever it took was there. I went to detox 3/13/2023 stayed for 11 days and entered covenant hills on 3/24/2023. I was introduced to Jason Gill my new case manager and the rest of the clients. I realized quickly it was an all male facility which I knew was the best way to achieve success in treatment. My case manager Jason immediately took me to his office and began to assess my situation and why I m here in order to make a plan for me. I met with him weekly and have nothing but great things to say about him. He went above and beyond for me and even became friends with my dad during his weekly calls to him to discuss my progress. My case was a little different as I had legal issues that required me to be there for 90 days. When covenant hills is typically a 60 day program. But Jason managed to do whatever he did and was able to get me to the 90 day mark in order to satisfy the courts order. Today I am clean and sober 512 days. And I don t believe that I would have been here without Mr. Jason Gill and my therapist Ed Volk who I met with weekly and kept me grounded during the times I wanted to leave before completing the program.One last thing, I ve been to more treatment centers then I d like to admit and Covenant Hills was by far the best one I ve been too. They don t care about how nice the amenities are or just want your money before they ship you off after not teaching you anything. All they want to do is teach you the proper tools to stay sober. Which I use still to this day. Mainly Ed Volks Transferable skills Tuesday. Where he prepares us for what it s gonna be like when we leave the doors. And everything he said was gonna happen did happen but this time thanks to Ed I was prepared and knew what to do.Thank you Covenant Hills and all the staff too who saved my life and showed me how to live.-Heath Bowman

If there is anyone in need of treatment, I would recommend Covenant Hills. This treatment center turned my life around. My case manager was Jason Gill and he was awesome. Jason is very knowledgeable and passionate about recovery and will do whatever he can for his clients. Jason kept an open door policy, which meant I could always go to him if I needed anything. In addition, the entire staff is amazing. I have not one bad word to say about any of them. I have to shout out Eric, Ed and Alex. I m truly thankful for Covenant Hills. Thank you!

One of the last things I wanted to do was go to treatment for my alcoholism, but I really didn't want to die either and that's where I was heading.I came to Covanent Hills April 2023. I was done fighting and lying my way through life. I came here to get the help I needed, and I got it because I was willing to do the work.I received psychiatric care, one on one therapy once a week, group therapy, exercise, healthy food, a daily routine. My roommate was awesome, we still keep in touch. The houses are clean and I always felt safe. Daily chores rotate weekly.You also get to do some outings like goat yoga, movies, outside meetings.I spent 30 days here and learned a lot about myself and my disease. I was set up on a better path, with tools to get through. I went to their transition house and continued IOP for another 60 days.Today I have 376 days clean and sober thanks to Covenant Hills and all the help I received.

The women s house is run by some terrible women There was a toxic culture of bullying perpetuated by the higher ups. All I can say is being at covenant hills was more traumatic than anything else. I HIGHLY recommend going elsewhere.

I personally have never been here , however I did come across it and recommend it to my best friend for treatment. The purpose of this review is primarily to say thank you to Michael who works in the admissions office there. If it weren t for Michael s kindness and patience with both myself and best friend, I don t think my friend would be getting the help he needs today. We both owe Michael a huge thank you and this world can use more people like him. My friend is still in treatment there, so I can t speak to his overall experience just yet, but I will say he s mentioned the food there is really great, and so are the clients and staff!

Response from the owner4 months ago
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that Michael provided such exceptional support and care during the admissions process. We strive to create a welcoming environment for all our clients, and it's wonderful to know that your friend is receiving the help they need. We hope the positive experiences continue throughout your friend's treatment journey. Stay in touch!
