Lake Hughes Recovery

Secluded Hillside Setting for Men’s Recovery

Nestled in the hills of Gorman, Lake Hughes Recovery offers a peaceful residential environment designed for men rebuilding their lives after addiction. Semi-private rooms and chef-prepared meals create a grounded, comfortable atmosphere, while the facility’s rural setting helps residents disconnect from outside stress and focus on lasting recovery.

Medically Assisted Detox and Co-Occurring Disorder Expertise

The center provides medically assisted withdrawal management followed by structured residential treatment for substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. Clinicians treat conditions such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and bipolar disorder. Specialized tracks also support veterans, active-duty military, and older adults, pairing medical oversight with individualized plans that balance stability and clinical depth.

Evidence-Based and Holistic Therapies

Therapeutic services include individual, group, and family counseling along with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), relapse prevention, and 12-step facilitation. Holistic options like yoga, meditation, fitness, and art and music therapy promote emotional balance and physical renewal. Residents follow a daily routine that blends therapy, reflection, and recreation, typically completing a 90-day program to establish sustainable recovery habits.

Nutrition, Aftercare, and Accessibility

Recovery at Lake Hughes Recovery extends beyond therapy. The in-house chef provides healthy, personalized meals to support physical healing and comfort during treatment. Early aftercare planning connects clients with community resources and ongoing support post-discharge. To increase access, the facility accepts Medi-Cal, offers Spanish language services, and provides transportation assistance for residents entering or leaving care.
