At Benchmark Transitions, we believe that meaningful addiction treatment should be available right where people need it most, in the communities they call home. Our Ontario facility brings the full depth of the Benchmark Transitions experience to one of the Inland Empire’s most dynamic and growing cities, serving individuals and families throughout the area who are ready to stop letting addiction define their story and start building something better.
Benchmark Transitions has spent decades developing an approach to addiction treatment that is both clinically excellent and genuinely human. Our Ontario location carries that approach into a community at the heart of the Inland Empire, staffed by licensed clinicians, experienced peer support specialists, and dedicated case managers who bring real professional skill and real personal investment to everyone they serve.
We do not believe in generic treatment. Every person who comes to us has a unique history, unique challenges, and a unique set of strengths, and every treatment plan we develop reflects that. If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction in the Ontario area, Benchmark Transitions is here around the clock, and we are ready to help you find a way forward.
At Benchmark Transitions in Ontario, we treat addiction as what it actually is, a complex condition with roots that run far deeper than substance use alone. Our clinical team takes the time to understand the full landscape of each client’s experience, including the trauma, mental health challenges, and life circumstances that have contributed to where they find themselves today. That understanding shapes every aspect of how we approach their care.
Our programming blends evidence-based clinical treatment, holistic wellness practices, peer community support, and thorough continuing care planning into a treatment experience that addresses the whole person, not just the most visible symptoms, and gives clients the foundation they need to sustain recovery long after they leave our doors.
EMDR therapy helps individuals process traumatic memories and unresolved emotional pain that traditional talk therapy may not fully reach. At Benchmark, our trauma-informed clinicians use EMDR as part of a comprehensive treatment approach, helping clients find relief from PTSD, anxiety, and the emotional roots of substance use.
Experiential therapy goes beyond conversation, helping clients process emotions and heal from trauma through hands-on activities like art, movement, animal connection, and outdoor experiences. At Benchmark, experiential therapy is woven into our treatment programs as a powerful complement to clinical care, meeting clients in ways that feel natural, engaging, and deeply effective.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective, evidence-based approaches to treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance use. At Benchmark, our licensed clinicians use CBT to help clients identify the thought patterns holding them back and build practical skills for lasting change.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a skills-based approach designed to help individuals manage intense emotions, navigate difficult relationships, and build a more stable, fulfilling life. At Benchmark, our trained clinicians deliver DBT through both individual and group sessions, giving clients the tools and support they need to create real, lasting change.

Recovery is not a straight line, and the support a person needs looks different at different points along the way. Benchmark Transitions in Ontario offers a full continuum of care so that every client receives exactly the right level of structure and support at every stage of their journey.
An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides structured, evidence-based treatment while allowing individuals to maintain work, school, and family responsibilities. At Benchmark Transitions, our IOP offers consistent clinical support, individualized therapy, and group-based care designed to strengthen coping skills and reinforce recovery in real-world settings. This level of care helps clients stay accountable, build stability, and continue making meaningful progress toward long-term healing while living at home.
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers a high level of structured care while allowing individuals to return home in the evenings, providing an effective balance between intensive treatment and real-world independence. At Benchmark Transitions, our PHP provides daily clinical support, individualized therapy, and evidence-based treatment designed to stabilize symptoms and strengthen recovery skills. This level of care helps clients build consistency, gain confidence, and continue progressing toward long-term healing in a supportive and structured environment.
Detox provides a safe and medically supervised environment where individuals can begin the process of clearing substances from the body while managing withdrawal symptoms with professional support. At Benchmark Transitions, we prioritize comfort, safety, and stability during this critical first step in recovery, ensuring each client receives the care and monitoring they need. Detox creates the foundation for continued treatment, helping individuals move forward into therapy and long-term recovery with greater clarity and readiness.
Residential treatment provides a highly structured, supportive environment where individuals can fully focus on their recovery away from the pressures and triggers of daily life. At Benchmark Transitions, clients receive around-the-clock clinical support, individualized care, and evidence-based therapy designed to address both immediate needs and underlying challenges. This level of care creates the stability and safety needed to begin meaningful healing and build a strong foundation for long-term recovery.
