Residential Treatment at The Runway Recovery: A Safe Landing for Deep Healing
When substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges disrupt daily life, residential treatment offers more than just a pause—it provides a structured, immersive path toward lasting recovery. At The Runway Recovery in Santa Ana, California, residential care is designed to meet clients where they are, with a personalized and clinically grounded approach that supports healing of the mind, body, and spirit.
What Is Residential Treatment?
Residential treatment, sometimes called inpatient care, is a live-in program that provides 24/7 support in a safe and therapeutic environment. Unlike outpatient models, residential care removes individuals from triggering environments and offers a full continuum of services under one roof. At The Runway, this includes:
• Individual therapy with licensed clinicians
• Daily group therapy and psychoeducation
• Medication management and psychiatric support
• Family counseling and relapse prevention planning
• Holistic modalities like yoga, meditation, and art therapy
This level of care is ideal for individuals who need to stabilize, address underlying trauma, or build a foundation for long-term recovery.
Why The Runway?
The Runway Recovery is intentionally small, with a maximum of six clients at a time. This allows for highly individualized treatment plans, deeper therapeutic relationships, and a calm home-like setting that promotes emotional safety. Clients receive a comprehensive psychosocial assessment upon admission, and treatment is tailored to their unique needs, goals, and history.
The program is especially well suited for those navigating:
• Substance use disorders including alcohol, opioids, and stimulants
• Co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD
• Unresolved grief, trauma, or relational wounds
• Relapse cycles and treatment resistance
A Strengths-Based Trauma-Informed Approach
The Runway’s clinical team emphasizes a strengths perspective, helping clients reconnect with their resilience and internal resources. Treatment is trauma informed, meaning that every aspect of care from language to environment is designed to reduce retraumatization and foster empowerment.
Clients also benefit from experiential therapies that go beyond talk. Art, movement, and mindfulness practices help integrate emotional insights and support nervous system regulation.
What Happens After?
Discharge planning begins early. Each client leaves with a measurable continuing care plan, including referrals to outpatient providers, sober living options, and community-based supports. The goal is not just to complete treatment—it is to sustain recovery in real life.
If you or someone you love is seeking a safe and clinically sophisticated space to begin healing, The Runway Recovery offers a compassionate and effective residential program. Learn more or schedule a private tour at therunwayrecovery.com.
