Bakersfield Recovery Services' Capistrano Community offers specialized addiction treatment for women in a supportive residential setting where mothers can live with their children during recovery. This program centers around 12-Step principles with a strong focus on family reunification and maintaining family connections throughout the treatment process. Residents live in a spacious, home-like environment complete with child-friendly amenities including play areas and a fenced backyard. The program follows a social model approach that emphasizes personal accountability, with clients participating in household management including meal planning, food preparation, and daily chores. Treatment is comprehensive and structured, with clients attending daily classes and group sessions four days weekly from 7:00am to 4:00pm. These sessions cover essential topics such as addiction education, healthy relationships, parenting skills, domestic violence awareness, relapse prevention, and life skills training. The curriculum concentrates on the first four steps of the 12-Step recovery model, with daily meeting attendance and sponsor work forming core components of the program. Capistrano Community provides transportation for medical appointments, counseling, legal obligations, 12-Step events, educational pursuits, and child visitation. The program includes regular recreational outings to beaches, amusement parks, and community events. Random drug and alcohol testing maintains the integrity of this abstinence-based approach. Family involvement is prioritized through twice-weekly visits from family members, sponsors, and close friends, plus weekly family nights that begin after a client's first ten days in treatment. These family sessions provide addiction education and recovery principles to help loved ones better support the recovery process. As clients progress, they gain increasing independence, including escort privileges after 45 days and eventual weekend passes ranging from 6-30 hours. The typical length of residential treatment spans from six weeks to four months, with outpatient services and sober living arrangements available as part of the continuing care program.
