Step One: Initial Assessment
Your first step is to give us a call at our 24/7 phone line. Our staff will answer any questions you have about our program and schedule a tour if you’re in the area. We would love a chance to tell you about our program and we want to know more about you and if you’ll find success here. If you have insurance, this is also a chance to get pre-verification of your benefits. Whether you have alcohol addiction, substance abuse, a mental health disorder, trauma or a combination of these, we have a program that can work for you and assist in your healing. We offer multiple levels of care and can outline those for you when you call into our phone line, to begin the process.

Step Two: Intake & Full Assessment
When you decide CASA Recovery is the right treatment program for you, we will meet you at our offices in San Juan Capistrano, CA, or we can pick you up from the airport/train station/etc. This is all arranged through our Intake Director. Our closest airport is John Wayne Airport, Santa Ana, CA (SNA), but we can also pick you up from Long Beach Airport, Los Angeles Airport (LAX), and San Diego Airport (San Diego is about an hour and a half drive).
During the initial assessment, we will have questions regarding your health history, current health status, medication, and if appropriate most recent drug use. For substance use disorders, detox may or may not be needed depending on these answers, so please be honest for your own health and comfort.”
Upon arrival our intake staff will meet with you and you will have forms to fill out regarding health history, medications, and confidentiality. Then our staff will complete a full assessment of your physical and mental health, as well as a drug urine screen and a basic physical exam. We will review medications you brought with you, if any, and may dispose of inappropriate ones. Please call us if you are unsure of the appropriate medications to bring.
Everything you tell us will be kept confidential. It is illegal for us to give anyone information about your stay with us without your written consent. At CASA Recovery you are only known by your first name and last initial (or whatever name you want to use).
At this point, if not already taken care of, payment is due. You may have made arrangements to pay through insurance, you may have a co-pay due, or you may be paying us directly. We accept cash, credit card, check, cashier’s check and wire transfers. If you are paying with a debit credit card, please be aware that you may need to call your bank to increase the charge limit for us.
Step Three: Begin Our Program
Depending on your assessment, you may need a referral to a detox facility or hospital. Our doctor and nurse will then evaluate you for appropriateness for our program.
Once you complete the intake process, you will begin your program at our treatment center in San Juan Capistrano, CA. This includes a full weekly schedule, including:
• Group and individual counseling sessions
• Individual and Group Therapy
• Psychoeducation
• Family Therapy
• Yoga
• Meditation
• Outside Support meetings
• Fun activities, including art therapy, beach and nature activities, and more.
Our program is not easy. You will be busy working with our expert licensed and certified staff every day to find the root causes of your addiction or limiting behavior to find new ways to cope, prevent relapse and change aspects of your life that may trigger you. In between sessions and at breaks, we have a lobby, courtyard and a patio where you can smoke. For those living in supportive housing, food is provided and breakfast, lunch and dinner are prepared by you and your roommates. Every Saturday we have a planned, fun, activity for our clients. On Sundays client’s can join our family support group and clients can go to church or a meeting if desired. Sunday is a great day for family visitation.Our counselors will keep any family or friends you designate updated on your status and progress. They should be in contact and give regular updates.
Step Four: Completion
Toward the end of your 30, 60 or 90 days with us, you will begin to wonder what’s next? We can help you with many aspects of integrating back into society, including:• Court Issues and more
• Aftercare housing options
• Finding a therapist
This is your chance to have more freedoms but with our supervision, guidance and daily accountability.After 60-90 days, we also work with sober living houses with live-in house managers to help you continue your transition into sobriety. Please ask our Intake Director about any of these options.
