About Us

Ranch Creek Recovery was established near San Diego, California to provide an intimate and serene, natural setting where our clients can find the security to explore the personal issues that have led to addiction and the strength to recover the greater destiny that lies beyond their addiction.  Through therapeutic and holistic methods we strive to help our clients regain self empowerment, improve their physical and emotional health, and implement positive changes in their lives.

 

Confidential Treatment Center

At Ranch Creek Recovery we understand that confidentiality, trust and privacy are a crucial part of the recovery process.  Our 7 acre treatment center is set in the hills of an exclusive area with a panoramic city light and mountain view.  In addition to our secluded location, our entire staff is committed to your privacy throughout your stay.  We also know that our clients must be comfortable in their environment in order to get the most out of their recovery experience.  Our guest suites are large with luxurious linens and extremely comfortable beds.  We have either semi private suites with two guest per room and private rooms based on availibility.
