Why Costa Rica Treatment Center?

Most people that attend treatment centers are sheltered from external stimulus, isolated from people, places and things, and kept on lock down for the duration of their stay. People often show amazing progress while in treatment but struggle maintaining their sobriety when they leave.

Our treatment model combines the benefits of inpatient residential treatment with the complete reintegration focus of a sober living environment.

We offer a fully comprehensive treatment program in one single experience.

Our clients work through their difficulties and are afforded liberties as they meet specific recovery milestones. Unlike conventional treatment centers, at Costa Rica Treatment Center our clients are required to assume responsibility over their recovery process.

Bonsai Tree at CRTC

We have found this better prepares our clients to achieve lasting sobriety when they leave.
We believe the only way to effectively treat drug and alcohol addiction is to look beyond the obvious symptoms, identify the source of the problem, and focus on continued healing of the mind, body and spirit. Though we employ a multidisciplinary team, we apply a simple solution to a complex problem and utilize the twelve steps of Alcoholics Anonymous as the basis of our entire clinical program.

Our major difference is that we are clear on what is absolutely necessary to build a solid foundation for lasting recovery versus what is merely complimentary to the process. Our focus is on providing only what is essential to the recovery process of the client while they are here. We try not to distract or overwhelm the client with non-essential information or concepts.

Each stage has been carefully developed by a team of recovered addicts and alcoholics in combination with a team of highly skilled mental health professionals with extensive experience treating addiction and alcoholism.
