    Asana Recovery is a family owned alcohol and drug recovery program located in Costa Mesa, California just a couple miles from the Orange County coastline. The program is state licensed and nationally accredited for medical detoxification, inpatient and outpatient substance abuse treatment. Utilizing evidence based practices and harm reduction techniques, our management and clinical staff include some of the most experienced and accomplished addiction treatment professionals in the industry. Providing empathetic support for clients entering treatment whether it is their first or umpteenth episode is our specialty. The “Asana Way” focuses on providing personalized and comprehensive treatment plans for both men and women in recovery. It embodies our forward-thinking approach to the treatment of addiction, pairing traditional and alternative methods, and serving all clients with compassion, while providing appropriate structure and practicing essential values in work and in play. Treatment planning begins immediately upon admission and during detoxification with involvement in individual and group therapy sessions and case management. Medication assisted detoxification, or detox, from opiates, alcohol and/or other drugs is managed closely by the onsite medical team to ensure client safety and comfort. Non-traditional detox protocols are often implemented to better match each client’s uniqueness. Daily treatment programming is specifically geared towards addressing underlying issues driving the addiction while also developing recovery tools. Group therapy is interwoven between individual and family sessions. Therapy modalities can include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Traditional 12-Step and Self-Management and Recovery Training (SMART) groups are attended on a nightly basis. Mindfulness, physical exercise and healthy eating are incorporated into daily treatment programming. Most meals are prepared by an on-site chef with a focus on replenishing basic vitamins and minerals. The nutritionist provides dietary analysis, consulting and meal preparation training. Daily physical activity can range from beach walks to cross fit training to one-on-one boxing with our personal trainers.

    Specialization

    • Medical Detoxification

      Drugs and alcohol have widespread effects throughout your body, including but not limited to the addiction and/or physical/psychological dependence that develops with substance abuse over time. Many organ systems are affected by addiction and will react to withdrawal. The term “medical detoxification” means that there is a trained and licensed medical professional onsite to monitor your vital signs and protect your physical and emotional health as your body goes through withdrawal.

    • Detox

      Though not all rehab facilities offer “medical detoxification,” all people with an addiction to drugs or alcohol will experience intense physical and emotional changes and discomfort as their bodies react to withdrawal of the addictive substance. Many people use the term “detox” to refer to the period of time (ranging from a few days to a week) when the body is reacting to an addict’s decision to stop using.

    ABOUT ASANA RECOVERY

    Asana Recovery is a substance misuse treatment organization with three locations in Costa Mesa, Calif. The organization’s “Asana Way” blends alternative, evidence-based, and traditional therapies in guiding men and women past drug and alcohol addiction and meeting their emotional, behavioral, and mental health needs. Asana Recovery offers medical detoxification, residential treatment, and outpatient programs.

    TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT

    The first stage in the Asana Way treatment process is to detox in an environment that's supervised 24 hours a day. To withdraw successfully, clients undergo testing and screening and meet with consulting physicians for both prescription and non-prescription medications. Detox uses either Vivitrol or Suboxone, medications used by 19.1 and 25.2 percent of rehabs in California, respectively.

    Once stabilized, clients can go into either residential or outpatient treatment. Residential treatment plans typically range from 28 to 90 days in length, making Asana Recovery one of 440 (33.6 percent) California facilities to offer a long-term (30+ days) residential program.

    Treatment incorporates a range of therapies including psychodrama, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EDMR), SMART recovery groups, life skills training, and addiction education. To encourage community integration and social support, clients may be paired with local 12-step and other support groups following treatment.

    Beyond their time spent in therapy, residents can practice mindfulness and get exercise by walking, biking, and engaging in non-competitive sports with others.

    STAFF CREDENTIALS

    Led by a board-certified psychiatrist and a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), Asana Recovery staffs a team of client care coordinators, licensed therapists, a case manager, personal trainers, and a chef.

    ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES
