A Certified International Drug Rehabilitation Center in Costa Rica
Premier Drug Rehab with Dual-Diagnosis Capable Care and a 4 -Phase Treatment Program – One Complete Recovery Experience.
At Costa Rica Treatment Center, our multidisciplinary team delivers a holistic, evidence-based program designed to treat addiction, mental health, and whole-person wellness related to alcohol and drug use. We are dual-diagnosis capable, meaning we can address substance use disorders alongside co-occurring concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood disorders when clinically appropriate.
What makes our approach different is our four-phase treatment model, integrated into one seamless inpatient experience – guiding clients from detox, stabilization through intensive therapy, skills-building, and long-term recovery planning. As clients progress, our program also introduces gradual flexibility and healthy contact with external life, allowing them to apply tools learned in treatment to day-to-day living—building confidence, accountability, and practical routines that support lasting recovery.
