About Spencer Recovery Centers

Nestled in the hills of Laguna Beach, California lies Spencer Recovery, a residential treatment center that offers a personalized, holistic approach to addiction and mental health treatment. Spencer Recovery strives to ensure their guests receive a one-of-a-kind treatment experience by offering specialized programs for men and women as well as specific tracks for executives, active military, first responders, couples, young adults, and a faith-based program. Their residential program aims to heal the mind, body, and spirit by addressing the underlying cause of addiction. Staffed by a team of experts, Spencer Recovery combines traditional talk therapy with holistic treatment options like golfing with a personal golf instructor, yoga, physical exercise, acupuncture, massage therapy, beach fitness, and so much more. With a plethora of extracurricular activities, clients will never get bored while in recovery. In addition to addiction recovery, licensed clinicians have extensive experience working with dual diagnosis clients and can provide the necessary therapeutic guidance to address any mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, panic disorders, and trauma. Clients will meet with their therapist 1-2 times per week for individual sessions as well as 12-Step meetings, exercise programs, and guided daily beach walks.
Spencer Recovery provides high-quality treatment without sacrificing the comforts from home. The beautiful home sits atop a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The home comes equipped with modern decor, gorgeous ocean views, an open kitchen, a pool, a spa, and private rooms with luxurious king and queen beds and a balcony overlooking the beach. Spencer Recovery is also pet-friendly, allowing clients to bring their furry family members to treatment. Spencer Recovery has been helping clients find freedom from addiction and mental health conditions for over 25 years.
