Inside Our Costa Mesa Facility: Koi Pond, Nutrition, and Healing Grounds

Recovery is about more than just stopping substance use—it’s about healing the whole person. At Costa Mesa Detox Center, we’ve designed a facility that reflects that philosophy. Our peaceful environment combines modern clinical care with natural elements and holistic wellness to support detox and beyond.

Nature as Therapy: The Koi Pond and Garden Grounds

One of the most beloved features of our Costa Mesa facility is the koi pond. Surrounded by tranquil garden pathways, shaded seating, and native landscaping, the pond offers a serene escape where clients can reflect, journal, meditate, or simply breathe. Nature-based healing has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety—two common symptoms during the detox process.

Healing Through Nutrition

Our in-house culinary team provides balanced, nutrient-rich meals tailored to support physical and emotional recovery. Detox places immense strain on the body, so nutrition is key. We use fresh ingredients to create meals that restore energy, replenish vitamins, and reduce inflammation. Clients with dietary restrictions or preferences are fully accommodated.

Comfortable, Private Spaces

Healing requires a sense of peace and safety. Our detox clients reside in well-appointed, private or semi-private rooms with 24/7 clinical supervision. Each room includes cozy bedding, personal storage, and access to quiet common areas designed for rest and connection. Cleanliness, comfort, and calm are central to our care philosophy.

A Day in the Life at Costa Mesa Detox

Each day in our facility is structured to promote routine and comfort, while also giving space for reflection and healing. A typical day might look like:

• 7:30 AM – Wake-up and morning check-in with medical staff
• 8:00 AM – Nutritious breakfast prepared by our culinary team
• 9:00 AM – Group meditation or guided mindfulness
• 10:00 AM – Individual therapy or clinical assessment

Whole-Person Recovery Environment

Our detox program doesn’t stop at symptom management. In addition to medical and psychiatric care, we offer:

• Gardening and horticultural therapy activities
• Access to guided meditation and mindfulness tools
• Light exercise and movement opportunities
• Group support and individualized check-ins
• Preparation for residential treatment or outpatient care

Designed for Trauma-Informed Healing

Many clients entering detox also carry emotional trauma. Our environment is intentionally trauma-informed: soothing lighting, natural textures, and spacious layout help clients feel safe and grounded. Our staff is trained in emotional sensitivity, de-escalation, and supportive communication to ensure every interaction supports healing.

Why the Setting Matters

Detox can be emotionally and physically draining. A calming, structured, and aesthetically pleasing setting helps our clients feel more at ease, allowing the body and mind to begin repairing. Whether it’s sipping tea by the koi pond, enjoying a nutrient-dense meal, or participating in a mindfulness session, every element of our environment is chosen with healing in mind.
