Why Shadyglade?

Clinically Proven Methods. Deeply Human Care.

Most rehabs either feel like a hospital…cold, clinical, impersonal…or they feel like a luxury resort where nobody actually gets better.
We’re neither.
We use evidence-based therapies that are scientifically proven to work. But we deliver them in a place that feels like home. With people who’ve been where you are.
Science + Compassion = Real Recovery.

Clinical Excellence: Our Therapeutic Modalities

We Don't Just "Talk About Feelings." We Use Therapies That Actually Work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

What It Does: Helps you identify and change the negative thought patterns that keep you stuck.

Why It Works: If you believe “I’m a failure” or “I’ll never get better,” you’ll act like it. CBT rewires those beliefs.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

What It Does: Teaches you how to regulate your emotions without using drugs or alcohol.

Why It Works: Most people use because they don’t know how to handle pain, anger, or anxiety. DBT gives you the tools to cope without substances.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

What It Does: Specialized trauma therapy that helps you process painful memories without re-traumatizing yourself.

Why It Works: Trauma gets “stuck” in your brain. EMDR helps your brain process it so it stops controlling your life.

Group Process Therapy

What It Does: You share your story. You hear others’ stories. You realize you’re not alone.

Why It Works: Shame thrives in isolation. Connection kills it.

Individual Counseling

What It Does: One-on-one sessions with a therapist who tailors treatment to your specific needs.

Why It Works: Your addiction is unique. Your trauma is unique. Your treatment should be too.

Family Therapy

What It Does: Helps you rebuild relationships with the people you’ve hurt…and teaches your family how to support your recovery.

Why It Works: You can’t heal in isolation. Your family needs to heal too.

Medical And Psychiatric Support

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

What It Is: FDA-approved medications (Suboxone, methadone, Vivitrol) that reduce cravings and make withdrawal manageable.

Why It Matters: Opioid and alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous…even deadly. MAT keeps you safe and comfortable so you can focus on healing.

The Stigma: Some people think MAT is “just replacing one drug with another.” That’s not true. MAT is clinically proven to increase long-term sobriety rates and save lives.

Medication Management for Dual Diagnosis

What It Is: Psychiatric oversight for co-occurring mental health disorders (anxiety, depression, bipolar, PTSD).

Why It Matters: If your brain chemistry is off, willpower won’t fix it. Sometimes you need medication to stabilize…so therapy can actually work.

The Healing Environment

Comfort. Safety. Peace.

Most rehabs feel like prison. Locked doors. No privacy. Staff treating you like a child.

That’s not us.

What You Get:

  • Private rooms with private bathrooms
  • Balconies overlooking Southern California
  • Pool, gym, and chef-cooked meals
  • No locked doors…you’re here because you want to be, not because you’re forced
  • Outings to Santa Monica, Hollywood, the beach
  • A family-style atmosphere where staff eat at the table with you

Why It Matters: Healing happens when you feel safe. You can’t do deep trauma work if you’re constantly on edge.
