About Crescent Moon Recovery

At Crescent Moon, we understand addiction isn’t due to some moral failing, and it’s not a consequence of a few bad decisions. Addiction results from the complex interplay of psychological, physical, social, and spiritual factors, and our holistic treatment approach to recovery is designed to address each of these domains. At the core of our program are evidence-based interventions, such as CBT [Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy] and DBT [Dialectical Behavior Therapy], group and individual therapy sessions provided by licensed professionals. Addiction impacts physical health too, so our nutritionist provides individualized plans tailored for each person’s health and wellness.

The particular social needs of each client vary widely: some need to return to school to further their education, others need vocational training, and still, others need assistance finding work. Regardless of our clients’ paths, education and vocation are fundamental to identity and so often impacted by addiction; we prioritize helping get them back on the right track. In addition to our focus on building community among our clients and staff, we realize building roots into the larger community is also vital to long-term recovery that continues after a client graduates from our program. To help facilitate this, clients are encouraged to participate in peer-based recovery programs, such as AA [Alcoholic Anonymous], NA [Narcotic Anonymous], SMART Recovery, and Refuge Recovery. Transportation is provided to these groups every night so they can continue on with whichever group resonates best with them after completing the Crescent Moon program.

At Crescent Moon Recovery, participants have the opportunity to access a variety of resources from evidence-based therapies, pursuing education and vocation, meeting with a nutritionist to set health and wellness goals, and building new habits by staying active. We are committed to encouraging participants to go to any lengths to living a sober life and are relentless about the importance of having a strong foundation rooted in a community that supports sobriety. Many of our staff at Crescent Moon Recovery know the personal struggle with addiction and mental health. They are available for individual and group therapy as well as have an open-door policy for support.

Crescent Moon Recovery is nestled near the beautiful beaches of Southern California, where participants can experience the benefits of being outside, connecting with a strong group of peers who they can relate to, and building healthy habits to an active lifestyle. Participants can begin to focus on their recovery safely without distraction in a healthy environment facilitated by trained professionals. They are held accountable for their commitments and goals with compassion and empathy.
