Empowering Recovery Through Therapeutic Approaches

At Carrara, wellness is at the heart of our recovery approach. We provide a range of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic Trauma Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, all designed to nurture your overall well-being. Our personalized care and supportive group sessions create a safe space for healing, helping you to reconnect with your mind, body, and soul. Embrace a holistic path to wellness as you overcome addiction and reclaim your life.

Somatic Trauma Therapy

Your addiction creates trauma in your life. You don’t mean to hurt the people you love; it just happens. You weren’t in control. Trauma not only comes from addiction, but it might be the reason why you took that wrong turn down the path of substance abuse in the first place.

Somatic Trauma Therapy addresses the trauma in your life. It restores the body-mind-soul connection within you, releasing you from the harrowing grip of emotional trauma. Your trauma doesn’t define you, and our team will help you heal that.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

You’ve experienced problems in your life; it’s part of being human. Sometimes, we can’t see past our choices, and they create issues that are challenging to cope with. Our team of board-certified and licensed psychotherapists and psychologists will help you unpack those problems and find the solutions you seek.

We work with you individually to delve deep into your mind, touching the core of the problems that hold you back in life and manifest your addictive behaviors. Our intimate small group sessions let you witness other individuals facing similar problems in their lives, letting you know you’re not alone with these issues.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Talking things out is a therapeutic practice that unpacks your mind, soul, and emotions. When you learn to communicate, you’ll feel a resounding release of the problems and trauma in your life. You’ll experience a shift in your emotions and thinking you never thought possible.

The Carrara clinical team understands your behavior is as unique as your life. We work with you to uncover those patterns holding you back, helping you embrace the best version of your inner self. We’ll help you rebuild and strengthen your relationships, starting you on the path to emotional mastery.

Recovery Based Groups and Interventions

There’s no need to go it alone in your recovery. We understand that you might not feel like talking to anyone in your broken state. You don’t know who to trust, and you’re fearful of other people’s judgment.

But when you’re ready to share, Carrara offers you a recovery group session where you can divulge as much as you want in a controlled, safe, loving, and supportive space.

The Value of Recovery Based Groups and Interventions

Carrara Luxury Group offers a holistic approach to drug addiction recovery in luxurious California facilities. Our personalized group therapy sessions create a supportive, non-judgmental environment where individuals can openly share experiences and connect with others, reducing feelings of isolation and fostering growth.

Additionally, Carrara's luxury intervention services help mend relationships impacted by addiction, providing a serene setting for meaningful connections. By focusing on small, tailored groups, participants can learn from shared experiences, gaining insights that empower them to reclaim control over their lives and navigate their recovery journey together.

Our Holistic Approach

At Carrara, we realize your recovery doesn’t rely on a single technique or strategy to make you whole again. It’s a synergistic symphony of techniques drawing together the mind, body, and spirit to create everlasting holistic healing and change.

Our primary therapists will handle everything for you. They will guide and support you toward the full recovery experience you deserve, drawing you out of the darkness and into the light. All you do is take our hand and let us lead you through the effortless transformation process we have in store for you.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

An integrative psychotherapy technique designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories, EMDR is highly effective for clients with co-occurring trauma and addiction. Carrara's clinical team is trained in EMDR as a core component of our trauma-informed care model.

TESTIMONIALS

Our Ultra-Luxury Drug Rehab & Alcohol Treatment programs

Battling the affliction of substance use disorder is a vicious cycle that few people manage to escape. 

  • Los Angeles, and California as a whole, is home to some of the wealthiest economies in the United States.
  •  But with that prosperity comes a price.

    While opportunities for growth are abundant in California and Los Angeles, there is a darker side rarely covered in the media. Addiction is rife. Maybe it started for you at an exclusive rooftop party, where you promised yourself that this line was only a one-off occasion in your life and nothing to worry about. Or maybe you started enjoying a fine bottle of wine with dinner, or a glass of 18-year-old Scotch after a hard day at the office, but those infrequent “treats” to yourself spun out of control. You began using them as a coping mechanism to get you through the day.

    Life in California is fast-paced and you need a coping mechanism to deal with the stress. What you quickly learned is, at first what was all fun, graduated to fun with problems, which then ultimately became all problems.

    Now you are facing a problem that only you can muster the courage to break free from. It’s possible to break free from the clutches of your addictions, but you have to take the first step and make the call.

    Founder's Story

    I never planned on coming back.

    I had already built the company. I had already done the work. I had already sold Cliffside Malibu. If I wanted to, I could have stayed retired and spent the rest of my life doing anything I wanted.

    But then the drug epidemic showed up.
    And somewhere along the way, I became a father.

    There is nothing more rewarding than giving someone back their loved one. I’ve had the privilege of watching mothers get their sons back, wives get their husbands back, and children get their parents back. I’ve seen families reunited after years of pain, fear, and hopelessness. There is nothing in my life that has ever been more meaningful than that.

    But the drug epidemic changed everything.

    For the first time in my career, I started looking at this crisis through the eyes of a parent. I have children. Like every parent, I want to believe they’ll be safe. But the truth is, one mistake today can be fatal. One pill. One bad decision. One counterfeit tablet. That’s all it takes.

    And burying your child is the single most unnatural thing that can happen to a human being.

    It is my greatest fear.
    That’s why I came back.

    Carrara was never supposed to be about building another company. It was about answering a calling. It was about doing everything I know how to do, with the people I trust most, to help families avoid a pain that no parent should ever have to experience.

    I’ve spent more than two decades helping people recover from addiction. I’ve helped thousands of families get their loved ones back. But today, the mission feels more urgent than ever.

    If ten years of hard work means even one parent doesn’t have to stand over the grave of their child, then every sacrifice, every setback, and every hour will have been worth it.

    That’s why I’m here.
    And that’s why Carrara exists.
