ABOUT THE RANCH RECOVERY CENTERS, INC. – WOMEN’S TREATMENT SERVICES
Founded in 1972, The Ranch Recovery Centers in Desert Hot Springs, Calif., provides a comprehensive range of addiction and recovery services to adults. Our women’s-only facility, known as Hacienda Valdez, offers detoxification, a partial hospitalization program (PHP), residential treatment, and an intensive outpatient (IOP) program.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Treatment at The Ranch Recovery Centers begins with a pre-intake interview and assessment. Our goal is to provide the “least restrictive treatment setting appropriate.” To achieve this, our staff reviews clients’ cases weekly and involves clients and their families throughout the treatment process.
During detox, clients receive an orientation to the 12-Steps and, if necessary, medication to alleviate withdrawal symptoms. This phase typically lasts between three and seven days. Our residential programming incorporates a variety of evidence-based treatment modalities along with 12-step principles. Clients participate in individual and group psychotherapy, trauma-informed care, and educational classes on parenting, relapse prevention, and anger management.
Additionally, we offer PHP and IOP programs as step-down treatment or alternatives to residential care. PHP requires at least 20 hours per week of counseling, while the IOP typically involves nine hours per week.
We also have a three-day family program that enables family and friends over the age of 14 to visit. The program helps them identify the effects of addiction, gain a better understanding of it, and discuss how to foster healthy relationships. Visiting hours are every Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
For women who have completed residential treatment, The Ranch Recovery Centers offers additional support such as sober living, aftercare meetings, and individual counseling.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
We have experienced counselors on our treatment staff. Additionally, we collaborate with a local doctor if a client requires prescription medication during the detoxification process.
