Desert Oasis Recovery was founded with a clear mission: to bring high-quality, residential addiction treatment to Ridgecrest and surrounding Kern County communities. We recognized a need for structured, evidence-based care that was both compassionate and accessible, without requiring individuals to leave their local area.
We serve adults navigating substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, offering a supportive environment where clients can heal, grow, and reclaim their lives.
We believe in:
- Treating the whole person, not just the addiction
- Creating a daily structure that fosters accountability and emotional safety
- Building recovery capital through skill-building, community, and compassion
- Offering trauma-informed, evidence-based practices at every level of care
Our team has over 27 years of combined experience in residential treatment, behavioral health, and recovery services. We bring both professional expertise and personal passion to the work we do.
A Ridgecrest-Based Program
Much of our team lives and works locally, and we’ve built strong relationships with community providers, hospitals, and sober living programs to help our clients stay connected and supported long after discharge.
STATISTICS
Over the past 45 years, Desert Oasis Recovery in Los Angeles has successfully treated thousands of men from all faiths, races and backgrounds who were suffering from substance abuse issues. Our treatment is comprehensive so we can address the full spectrum of the client’s needs and employs the most current, evidence-based protocols set forth by the National Institute on Drug Abuse in Washington D.C. As treatment progresses, we emphasize the tools necessary to foster ongoing sobriety outside of the residential environment. We are proud that our success rate for those who graduate from our program is 70% 30 days post discharge, 70% 90 days post discharge, and 61% one (1) year post discharge, among the highest rates of recovery in the country.
What if I've relapsed before?
Though relapsing does not have to be part of recovery, many clients have relapsed previously. Research on will power from Stanford University points to higher levels of success when we give ourselves certain messages after we have missed the mark. Whether or not this is your first attempt at recovery consider these 3 steps that can contribute to your success.
- Take a moment to become mindful of how you are feeling: You may not feel you are at your highest point – acknowledge that feeling. Becoming mindful of our moods and learning to ride through those feelings is part of recovery.
- Recognize the universal problem of addiction: Managing life and all its complexities is not easy – we all miss the mark.
- Encourage yourself: There is no reason why you can’t obtain recovery and maintain it this time in treatment!
