Our Detox Program
At Brea Hills Recovery, we believe in giving back to the people who dedicate their lives to keeping our communities safe. Our detox and residential treatment program was created specifically for First Responders — the firefighters, police officers, paramedics, EMTs, dispatchers, and other front-line heroes who often carry the invisible weight of trauma and high-pressure service.
Located in the tranquil hills of Brea, California, just outside San Bernardino and within beautiful Orange County, our facility offers a private, secure, and nurturing environment where healing can begin. Here, you’ll find more than just a detox program — you’ll find a place of brotherhood, community, and recovery.
It’s our privilege to serve those who have served us.
Our Services
Detoxification is the first and most important step in recovery. At Brea Hills Recovery, our medical detox program provides 24/7 clinical support in a calm and comfortable setting. We understand that detox can be physically and emotionally challenging, which is why our medical team is trained not only in addiction medicine but also in trauma-informed care — ensuring that every client receives personalized attention and compassionate support.
Our goal is to stabilize your body safely and comfortably while preparing you for the next stage of your recovery journey. We provide evidence-based medications when necessary, nutritional guidance, hydration support, and continuous monitoring to minimize withdrawal symptoms and promote overall well-being.
This is not a cold, clinical environment. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be treated with respect, dignity, and care — because you’ve earned it.

Our Approach
First Responders face unique stressors that most people can’t fully understand — repeated exposure to trauma, long shifts, adrenaline-driven environments, and the pressure to stay strong no matter what. These experiences can lead to PTSD, anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and substance use as coping mechanisms.
At Brea Hills Recovery, we’re not just aware of these challenges — our entire program is designed around them. Our clinicians, therapists, and staff specialize in treating trauma and co-occurring mental health disorders commonly experienced by First Responders. Through both evidence-based therapies and holistic healing, we help clients unpack and process the pain they’ve carried for years — often silently.
You’ll never be judged here. You’ll be understood.
What We Offer
Our detox and residential facility in Brea Hills offers a luxury, resort-style setting that promotes relaxation, privacy, and restoration. We’ve designed every detail of our program to balance health-conscious living with comfort and accessibility.
Each client enjoys:
Nutrition is a critical part of healing. Our culinary team works closely with health professionals to design menus that restore balance, energy, and vitality — helping your body recover as your mind heals.
Our Treatment Services
Healing from addiction isn’t just about detoxing from substances — it’s about addressing the underlying trauma that often fuels the cycle. Our therapists use trauma-informed methods that acknowledge the experiences of First Responders and create a space for safe, honest processing.
We recognize the strength it takes to reach out for help. At Brea Hills Recovery, every aspect of treatment is designed to help First Responders reclaim their resilience, rebuild their health, and rediscover hope.
Our approach includes:
The spirit of community is central to who we are. Many of our staff and counselors have personal or family backgrounds in first responder fields — they understand the sense of duty, loyalty, and pride that comes with the uniform.
Here, you’re not alone. You’ll find others who share your story, your struggles, and your determination to recover. Through shared meals, group sessions, and outdoor outings, our program fosters genuine connection and camaraderie — a healing community where you can be seen and supported without judgment.
Because recovery isn’t just about getting sober — it’s about rediscovering the sense of purpose and belonging that first inspired you to serve.
Our Approach to Detox
We believe healing happens both inside and outside the therapy room. That’s why our detox and residential program includes a variety of therapeutic outings and recreational activities, all designed to help you reconnect with joy, adventure, and the natural world.
Clients enjoy regular outings such as:
These activities are part of our holistic philosophy — blending physical health, mental wellness, and emotional recovery in ways that feel authentic and empowering.
What We Offer
Our facility is private, gated, and secure, ensuring that every client can focus entirely on their recovery journey. Safety is one of our highest priorities — physically, emotionally, and professionally.
We understand that confidentiality is especially important for First Responders, which is why we take every measure to maintain discretion and privacy. You can heal here without fear of stigma or exposure — in an environment built for trust, respect, and renewal.
Our Approach to Detox
We understand that taking time off work can be one of the biggest barriers to seeking help. That’s why we handle all FMLA paperwork and communicate directly with employers (with your consent) to make the process as smooth and confidential as possible.
Our goal is to remove every obstacle between you and recovery — so you can focus entirely on healing without worrying about what’s happening at work.
