What to Expect from Residential Meth Addiction Treatment at Benchmark Transitions

Meth addiction can be one of the most challenging substance use disorders to overcome. The intense cravings, psychological dependence, and withdrawal symptoms can make quitting feel impossible without professional support. That’s why our meth addiction treatment program in California provides a structured, immersive environment where clients can entirely focus on their recovery with expert guidance and compassionate care.

1. A Safe and Supportive Environment

Located in the scenic Wildwood Canyon area, our 52-acre ranch property offers a tranquil and distraction-free setting for recovery. Clients can retreat from everyday stressors and immerse themselves in healing, surrounded by nature, open space, and community.

2. 24/7 Medical Supervision and Support

Meth withdrawal can bring intense psychological symptoms such as anxiety, depression, paranoia, and fatigue. Our team provides round-the-clock medical care to manage withdrawal symptoms safely and ensure emotional and physical stability during this crucial phase.

3. Evidence-Based Therapy

Our treatment program integrates proven therapeutic approaches to help individuals overcome meth addiction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients recognize and change destructive thought patterns, while Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on emotional regulation and coping strategies. Motivational Interviewing (MI) builds personal motivation for change, and relapse prevention strategies teach clients how to navigate triggers, build resilience, and maintain long-term sobriety.

4. Holistic Healing & Experiential Therapies

Recovery is about more than just quitting meth—it’s about restoring balance and well-being. Our holistic therapies include mindfulness and meditation for stress reduction, exercise and fitness programs to rebuild physical health, and art and music therapy to encourage creative expression. We also offer outdoor and nature-based healing activities, allowing clients to reconnect with themselves in a peaceful, natural setting.

5. Life Skills & Transition Planning

Long-term success in recovery requires preparation for life beyond treatment. Our program includes life skills training to help clients with daily responsibilities, job readiness support for career development, and relapse prevention planning to create a structured roadmap for sustained sobriety. These tools empower individuals to confidently transition back into their communities with the skills to maintain recovery.

Treating Meth Addiction in California at Benchmark Transitions

Methamphetamine is one of the most addictive and destructive substances, with devastating effects on both the brain and body. Many individuals struggling with meth use experience rapid deterioration in mental and physical health, financial difficulties, legal issues, and strained relationships. However, recovery is possible with the proper treatment and support.

1. Medically Supervised Meth Detox

Meth withdrawal can bring intense physical and psychological symptoms, including extreme fatigue, powerful drug cravings, depression, anxiety, and mood swings. At Benchmark Transitions, our medically supervised detox provides 24/7 monitoring, hydration support, and nutritional care in a safe and structured environment. Our team ensures that clients stabilize physically and emotionally before transitioning into the next phase of treatment.

2. Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Many individuals struggling with meth addiction also face co-occurring mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. Our dual diagnosis treatment ensures that both addiction and underlying mental health conditions are addressed simultaneously, helping clients build a stronger, more sustainable foundation for long-term recovery.

3. Individual & Group Therapy

Therapy is a cornerstone of meth addiction recovery, offering both individual and group counseling to address the emotional and behavioral aspects of addiction. In individual therapy, clients work one-on-one with licensed therapists to uncover the root causes of their substance use and develop personalized coping strategies. Group therapy provides a safe, supportive space to connect with peers, share experiences, and build accountability, while family therapy helps loved ones heal and strengthen relationships impacted by addiction.

4. Holistic & Experiential Therapies

At Benchmark Transitions, we believe in treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Our holistic approach includes yoga and breathwork for stress reduction, equine interaction for emotional grounding, and outdoor recreation such as hiking and gardening to promote mindfulness and connection with nature. These therapies help clients rediscover their sense of self and develop healthy, sustainable coping mechanisms.

5. Aftercare & Relapse Prevention

Recovery doesn’t stop when treatment ends—ongoing support is essential for long-term success. Our aftercare services include outpatient therapy for continued emotional and psychological support, sober living options for a stable and structured environment, and alumni peer groups to maintain accountability and encouragement. Our team works closely with each client to develop a personalized relapse prevention plan, ensuring they have the tools and resources needed to sustain their recovery journey.

Reviews for Benchmark Transitions Treatment Center

It's truly a blessing to see the effects the program has on the clients...

I’ve seen some amazing things occur with the clients that have come through the program at Benchmark. I’ve seen wonderful turn-around with clients that will not even speak to staff and hold their head down always, to walking with their head held high, showing confidence, smiling, interacting and being talkative with staff and coming alive right before my eyes!

The transformation is so great to see – it’s truly a blessing to see the effects the program has on the clients!!!

I was introduced to everyone who will be involved in my son's treatment...

My 25 year old son checked in this past Thursday. My first impression is extremely positive. I was introduced to everyone who will be involved in my son’s treatment. I was given a tour of the facility and his schedule of treatment was discussed. The next day I received a phone call from my son and one of his mentors. I also received an email with information pertaining to the Family Bridge, a portal where parents and family members can write to their loved one at Benchmark. I see photos of my son enjoying hiking and positive activities with his peer group. It is so important to me that I am “in the loop” and know what is happening with my son (even if he is an adult at 25).

He had gone to another rehab last year and that experience was very different. Though we had an appointment, we were kept waiting for hours. I was never introduced to the staff, the program was never discussed. I was told that I could not see the rooms. They seemed disorganized and overwhelmed.

Benchmark does feel warm, caring and like a family. The 18-28 age group is perfect for us. Aside from addiction recovery, my son is learning vocational, educational and life skills (such as money management & career counseling). I will post again after 6 months. So far, I feel optimistic and relieved.
