Substance Abuse Treatment That Works for You

Among the best rehab centers Ventura County has, at Reward Path Recovery, we understand the importance of providing both mental health treatment and substance abuse treatment together. Approximately 50% of those living with mental health disorders are also living with a substance abuse disorder.

A substance may be abused in an effort to cope with an untreated mental disorder or the stress related to that disorder. When the two go hand and hand, it can often be difficult to find drug and alcohol rehab that’s effective. Treating one disorder without treating the other can lead to insubstantial treatment.

Reward Path Recovery is a dual diagnosis treatment center that provides treatment for both mental health and substance use disorders. With over 29 different types of treatment offered and over 26 dual diagnoses, we’re confident we can help you gain back control over your life.

Our Inpatient Rehabilitation Program

It can be challenging to recover from a substance abuse disorder when you’re living in a toxic or stressful environment. Reward Path Recovery’s inpatient rehabilitation program gives you the opportunity to step out from the hustle and bustle to focus on yourself and your recovery. We offer luxury amenities and modern accommodations in a beautiful Queen Anne home that includes music and art therapies, holistic therapies, exercise classes, yoga, and more.

While Reward Path Recovery functions like a luxury rehabilitation center, we also provide 24/7 medical care and counseling services. At Reward Path Recovery, you never have to feel like you’re going through your substance abuse recovery on your own.

About Us

Reward Path Recovery Center is a detox and residential treatment center that is redefining the industry standard and offers an alternative method for gaining freedom from addiction. The human brain is hard-wired to repeat rewarding (pleasure inducing) behaviors; we naturally crave more of what feels good. While this fact sadly drives chemical addiction, it can also be repurposed to guide those afflicted back to health and safety. This is the Reward Path.

Located in the heart of Ventura County, the Baker House, built in 1898, is a whimsical, newly renovated Queen Anne style home where you can begin your reward filled journey. Our dedicated and diverse staff of medical doctors, licensed psychologists, and addiction disorders counselors are highly trained in a wide variety of treatment modalities. Each client is offered a personalized treatment plan lovingly crafted by our team of experts. We provide a warm and supportive healing environment where science meets the soul of recovery.

our founder talks about the unique reward path recovery program

“

"The Reward Path Recovery Program builds an effective bridge between psychiatry / medicine and traditional recovery culture."

– Michael vivian (founder)

What makes us different

Reward Path Recovery is unique in how it combines methods that are decidedly pro-reward (as much as possible using carrots vs. sticks), pro-patient (identifying and addressing the unmet healthy needs that drive drug use), inclusive (drawing upon the strengths of many different schools of thought), current, non-denominational (honoring all faiths, but promoting none in particular), and rational (explaining why as opposed to encouraging surrender). It is our experience that these additions and this reformulation make the recovery process more enjoyable and effective for those suffering, whether they are new to recovery, returning to recovery, or in recovery but feeling that their personal growth toolkit is incomplete.

Reward Path is located in a beautiful, uplifting Victorian home (listed on the local register of historical landmarks) with mountain views.
Reward Path enjoys the mild Southern California climate with nearby beaches and mountain wilderness trails for recreational outings.
Reward Path has its own signature workbook. In addition to providing addiction treatment standard of care curriculum, owner/founder and retired psychiatrist in recovery, Michael Vivian, has developed an innovative, supplemental workbook called “Reward Path Recovery” based on his academic, professional, and personal experience. He applies the excellence of his UCLA education and UC San Francisco training to expand and enrich the down-to-earth soul of traditional recovery culture.
Reward Path’s all recovering staff have been hand-selected for their expertise in providing not just state-of-the-art addiction treatment, but also truly informed dual-diagnosis care.
Reward Path facilitates the involvement of local recoverers with decades of sobriety in order to provide clients with extra guidance and support.
