About VRC
Two houses, not a hospital wing.
Residential treatment for men in the Santa Clarita Valley and out toward the high desert. Small enough that the staff know your name, structured enough that the days actually go somewhere.
What the program includes
Treatment here is not one thing. It is several, arranged around what your evaluation shows.
Individual therapy
One-to-one work on what is underneath the using: the history, the triggers, and the plan for a life that does not need it.
Group counseling
Several kinds, including 12-step groups and groups built specifically around addiction triggers. Men often say this is where it finally lands.
Family counseling
Sessions that involve the people who are living with this alongside you. For family members →
Art therapy
For men who have spent years unable to say what is wrong, saying it a different way sometimes works better than another conversation.
Recreation
Time outdoors and time moving. Recovery is a physical process as much as a psychological one, especially in the first weeks.
Clinical oversight
Your treatment is overseen by psychologists, psychiatrists and counselors, which is what makes treating mental health alongside addiction possible.

How a stay is put together
Evaluation first
Everyone is evaluated on arrival. Medical history and substance use history both feed into the plan, and that evaluation is what determines whether detox is needed.
Detox, if your body needs it
Withdrawal from alcohol and some other substances is medically serious and is not something to face alone. About detox →
The 30-day residential program
A short-term, thorough approach for men who need real treatment but have limited time. Length is flexible by clinical recommendation — 30 days is the shape, not a rule.
Where you would be staying
Two houses, about twenty minutes apart. Which one you are in depends on where there is a bed and what suits you. Both run the same program.
Newhall
Our flagship residential home in the Santa Clarita Valley, with detox on site. A house on a residential street — close to town, close to family visits. See the Newhall home →
Agua Dulce
A quieter house on the edge of the high desert, about twenty minutes further out. More room, more sky, fewer reasons to leave. See the Agua Dulce home →
Take a look before you arrive
So your first day is not the first time you see the place.
Most major insurance covers treatment here.
Checking takes about five minutes and commits you to nothing at all.
Questions people ask us
Do I get my own room?
The homes are small and residential rather than clinical. Room arrangements depend on the house and who is in it — ask us on the call and we will tell you exactly what is available now.
Which house will I be in?
It depends on bed availability and on what suits your situation. Both run the same program; Newhall is closer to town and Agua Dulce is quieter.
What should I bring?
There is a full list, and it is worth reading before your first day. Things to bring →
Can I keep my phone?
Phone access is structured rather than banned. The point is to protect the early weeks, not to cut you off from your family.
Is the 30-day program long enough?
For some men, yes. For others it is the start. The length is flexible by clinical recommendation, and that conversation happens while you are here rather than at the end.
What happens after residential?
Aftercare, planned before you leave: outpatient near where you live, therapy, meetings and the people who will be there on hard days. Aftercare →
