Hotel California by the Sea is a luxury addiction treatment program located in Newport Beach and Huntington Beach California treating men, women and young adults. In tandem with addiction, we also treat co-occuring disorders and eating disorders. Hotel California by the Sea offers all levels of care including detox, residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and monitoring services. We are an individualized addiction treatment program and we tailor each of our client’s treatment plans to fit their unique needs.
Our mission at Hotel California by the Sea is to guide our clients on a path of recovery where they can experience freedom from their addictions and achieve success in sobriety and in society. 90%, if not more, of our staff hold years, even decades, of long-term sobriety. Having a staff of 200 plus individuals who know firsthand what our clients are going through is paramount to the success of our client’s ability to achieve sustainable recovery. Our staff can relate to our clients when no-one else can and our staff is empowered to share their experience, strength and hope which, as we’ve seen time and time again, can prove to be life saving. Our experienced and compassionate clinical staff walk side-by-side with our clients to find out what drove their addiction(s) in the first place for we believe that it is by first addressing these underlying and core issues that our clients are able to replace self-destructive behaviors such as using drugs and alcohol, with healthy and productive habits and behaviors. Our clinical team uses a variety of therapeutic interventions including but not limited to, EMDR, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Meditation, and art and music therapy.
Our staff is also trained to find out what our clients are passionate about and what drives and fulfills them. Hotel California by the Sea offers a variety of resources to assist our clients in achieving their hopes and dreams in life. We offer job search and placement assistance, life-coaching services and we walk our clients through the college and/or GED process.
At Hotel California by the Sea, we believe that hope is the greatest gift one can give to another. Since the day we opened our doors, Hotel California by the Sea has helped over 2,000 men, women and young adults rebuild their lives and become productive and compassionate members of society.
Hotel California by the Sea’s vision for the future is to continue to expand our resources nationally as much as we can in our fight against addiction. We’ve all been touched in some way or another by this deadly disease. Since we opened our doors in 2014, we have expanded our services significantly across The Greater Orange County Area and two years ago, we opened our outpatient program and luxury transitional living services in The Greater Seattle/Bellevue Area. Within the next few months, we will be expanding into Cincinnati Ohio, a city and state that have been hit harder than most in this tragic drug epidemic. Our goal has always been to help as many addicts and alcoholics achieve recovery as possible.
Client Testimonials:
“When I came to Hotel California by the Sea, my life was over. I had hit rock bottom in my addiction, lost my family, my job and my self-respect. Quite honestly, I hated myself and wanted to die. Then I came to HCBTS. This place saved my life. My case manager and therapist were supportive throughout my entire treatment stay and I couldn’t have done it without them. The entire staff welcomed me and supported me every single day. Today I am 1 year sober, I have my family back and I have a job again. My life is meaningful and I actually am learning to love myself. Thank you Hotel California by the Sea for not only saving my life but for giving me my life back. I will be forever grateful.”
