Oak Forest Recovery in Westlake Village, California offers a distinctive treatment approach that combines intensive outpatient services with sober living accommodations. The program creates a balanced recovery environment that integrates traditional recovery methods, innovative therapies, medical support, and community connection, all strongly influenced by the 12-step philosophy of Alcoholics Anonymous. This gender-specific treatment center is staffed by clinicians and medical professionals who either have personal recovery experience or specialized expertise in addiction treatment. Oak Forest specifically addresses co-occurring disorders and places significant emphasis on trauma resolution, helping clients break cycles of suffering through their structured four-level care system. Treatment begins with Level 0, an intensive two-week period featuring daily four-hour counseling sessions, house meetings, AA participation, sponsor engagement, and limited outside contact. Clients then progress through increasingly independent stages: Level 1 (minimum 30 days) introduces group counseling with greater autonomy; Level 2 (minimum 60 days) focuses on growth reflection; and Level 3 (minimum 90 days) reduces treatment to 1-3 hours daily while preparing clients for transition. Throughout recovery, residents enjoy the facility's natural setting with hiking trails, outdoor activities, evening bonfires, and social connection in the game room.
